Update: Known Issues and Bug Fixing Roadmap

Hi all,

First of all we would like to thank you all for your help finding the weak points after the big Assembly and Ship Customization releases.

These two features are very important for the future development of the game. We want to introduce more content like recipes, skins, new ship models… in general stuff for you to enjoy in-game without having to use the payment.

The new features required an in-depth overhaul of the way item were managed. We had to change the internal descriptions of items – which now collides in some places with existing (“old”) systems.
Many of these issues were not reported during the OBT so they were not fixed before the features were released.

Now we know what still is causing issues and that’swhy we put together the following list. We can assure you that after that we will continue to review the remaining open issues as well.

These are the known issues that we are working on. Our main focus lies on the Critical bugs.

Severity: Critical

·Connectivity issues

oWebsite: Several players report that certain subpages are not loading correctly.

o Client: Some players cannot connect to the game server.​

·Auctions: We will book the won items and the credits before the end of this week. The issue should not happen again.

·P.E.T.s: The salvage protocol doesn’t give a bonus on Uri and Credits from bonus boxes.
