[Major Features]

• Introduced the Ship to Ship Trading system.
• Introduced the AeonLabs Modular Construction System.
• Drones & The Engineer class has received a major rework focused on Neurobound drones.

[Ship to Ship Trading]

• Players can now trade items and credits directly between ships in a dedicated UI.
  • This is performed by using the dock keybind while your ships are overlapping with theirs. This must be done while stopped and cannot be done in combat.

[AeonLabs Modular Construction & Dilutions]

• Introduced the AeonLabs Modular Construction System.
• Added new AeonLabs station components, blueprint packs, extractors, Command & Control kits, and construction items.
• AeonLabs blueprint packs have been added to all tech 12 and above player obtainable station kits.
• Common augmenters can now be dissolved into Dilutions, displaying their outputs directly on the item. This is done by selecting then opening the context menu on any number of common augmenters while docked, then selecting the new “dissolve” option. This is cannot be reversed.
• Pre-installed blueprints for drones constructed from industrial commodities have been moved to be held within the technology tree of the AeonLabs system.
• The blueprints to build X/Y/Z gear on stations using Industrial commodities that came pre-installed on most station kits have been removed.

More information can be found HERE.

Special Announcements

• With the coming new universe, we are changing our approach to termites to go along with the upcoming AeonLabs system. There will no longer be a siege at the end of a termite invasion. Instead, a single “scout” termite will attack your assets repeatedly over the course of 7 days. This scout will be stronger than before, but still a lot weaker than the full sieges that you’ve been accustomed to. Be aware: the scout termite is more dangerous is higher quality galaxies.
• Another change coming with the universe reset is that owning a galaxy will now consume Dilutions at a certain rate, as well as a reduced quantity of Fusion Cells. The exact costs are visible on the Nullification Generator that installs itself onto the Command and Control Station after ownership is established. The Dilution cost of ownership is higher in high-quality galaxies. We’ll provide the exact details in a follow-up post before the universe reset occurs.
• With the new universe, there will also be a new service for sale in our store: the Industrial Plasticity Management Contract. This service temporarily increases the number of stations, permanent drones and trade bots your account can control.
  • Purchase limit of once per account per universe.
  • Grants 50 flex base slots, 50 flex trade bot slots, and 50 flex permanent drone slots to the account until the end of the current universe.
  • Flex slots can be used by any combination of characters on the account. when the player attempts to deploy a relevant asset, if this would exceed the character’s normal slot budget then the missing number of slots is debited from the flex slot pool, if available.

Universe Reset Announcement

AeonLabs is excited to announce the release of their newest Dilution product: a miniature Doomsday Device!

This new blueprint, available on all newly-deployed stations with AeonLabs blueprint packs, will offer the opportunity for anyone to control the fate of the universe using only a few Minor Augmenters! Our research and development division have been hard at work to create the ultimate product for all your pesky vermin needs. Annoying Flyswatters attacking your stations? Destroy their universe! Annoying queue to fight a dungeon boss? Destroy their universe too!

If this technology seems dangerous, then you can feel safe knowing it has been extensively tested by the Paxian Operatives already! They’ve already set up several hundred across our very own universe for testing, and have begun deploying them into every known universe to stop the threat of the Red Rogues!

AeonLabs is pleased to report to its shareholders that the startup’s value has already increased by several orders of magnitude since it debuted its revolutionary Dilution system. With their latest product, they project their value to continue skyrocketing until it hits a sudden and cataclysmic stop on April 18 when the universe is destroyed at the peak of their valuation.

Dev Notes

• Extractors other than space oats shut off, colonies will no longer make purchases to/from user stations, AI stations will no longer decay goods 7 days before end of the universe. Will be a reminder post.
• Player stations, permanent drones, and the credits on active bots will be lost.
  • Player ships will not be affected.
• If you’re docked during the reset, you will spawn into the new universe using your docked active ship.
  • Careful not to spawn into the new universe in an immobile ship!
• Wild Space will be scrambled and receive a new map shape.
• All other layers will have the systems scrambled but contain the same shape.
• After a universe reset, all of your docked ships will be in a state of limbo allowing you to dock them all at any non-player station.  You can use the /limbo chat command only once to bring all of your docked ships back into limbo to dock them elsewhere. There is no longer a time limit.
  • You can purchase additional limbos via Limboing Tow Service at Friedman station in Free Market for 5 billion credits each.

AeonLabs is excited to announce the release of their newest product: Dilution technology!

AeonLabs is a fresh new start up with a focus on extending and increasing the quality of life for all productive members of society. We are excited to share with you today a new system that we are offering through our research and development division.

Dilutions

The goal of this system is to streamline the station building and gearing experience using a new item called Dilutions. Instead of having to source materials from all over the universe when setting up a station, Dilutions allow you to do almost everything on the spot with very little wait time.

The upcoming patch contains a beta version of the Dilution system, with the full version arriving at the next universe reset. This beta version adds all the new Dilution-based construction projects to the game. At the next universe reset, many station-related items will be exclusively obtained through the streamlined Dilution system, with old acquisition paths phasing out.

Edit (2026/03/24): The older acquisition method for station items will remain in game during the universe that begins on April 18. We will reassess during that universe and eventually plan to phase out the old method.

Dilutions are a new type of commodity in Star Sonata obtained by right clicking on an augmenter in your inventory and selecting the option to “Dissolve.”

Dilutions are split into three categories as follows:

Higher tech augmenters produce more Dilutions than lower tech augmenters, and higher tech builds cost more Dilutions than lower tech builds.

All Dilution-related builds complete nearly instantly (with the exception of Permanent Drones) and cost only Dilutions to complete (with the exception of Station Kit builds and Permanent Drones).

Blueprints using this system come pre-installed in station kits and are organized into category packs, like a folder system. Upon first deploying a Station Kit you will see a “folder” for industry-related builds and a “folder” for defense-related builds. Each of these “folders” opens into subcategories and builds, as shown below.

The initial “folders” (blueprint packs) available upon deploying an Adamantium Station Kit VIII:

The AeonLabs-brand builds and “folders” (blueprint packs) that become available after doing the “AeonLabs Exotic Achilles Industry Pack” build shown above:

The Dilution system can be used to produce both pre-existing items (like Adamantium Station Kit IX) and newly introduced items (such as AeonLabs Station Extension).

Nearly all Dilution-based items are station-bound or decay upon universe reset; most Dilution builds and applications are single-use. Dilutions themselves do not decay upon universe reset. Dilutions can be bought, sold, and traded with other players and in stations.

Extraction

As you upgrade your station to higher tech and quality levels (Fortified, Laconia, Demented, etc.), you unlock more Dilution-based builds. For example, a Demented Station Kit IX has access to all extractor types while a Loaded Station Kit does not include all of the tiered extractor options (such as Adamantium or Quantumum extractors). Station kits have access to their equal level industrial extractors and below.

Here is a table showing the relationships between type of station and extractors available. Station kit types are a general reference. For example, Twisted Station Kits have the same builds available as an Adamantium Station Kit IX. All tiers include the builds from earlier tiers; a Tech 14 Fortified Station Kit VI will have Tech 14 extractor builds along with all the extractor builds available in a Loaded Station Kit IX.

The Dilution system allows industrial extractors (such as Planetary Core Metal Fusion Drill) to be instantly built. This means you can have full extraction implemented on the first day of a new universe — no more waiting! Even better, industrial extractors now automatically come with factories to convert their extraction to industrial commodities.

“Brought to you by AeonLabs — Eternity Is Possible.”

Earth scientists have triggered a temporal singularity on an off-world lab while trying to create space-time based weaponry. Initial containment of the singularity has been lost and there is now no way to stop it. This singularity is eating not just matter – but time itself!

As a result, star system after star system is being absorbed into the singularity and it is just a matter of time before the whole universe is sucked in.

The effects of the singularity will remain local until it reaches its temporal threshold, at which point existence as we know it will end.

Scientists expect the universe to then unfold into an earlier version of itself on the other side of this singularity. Representatives from at least the Urqan, Mzungu, Bule, and Kalthi regions of space have been seen forming fleets to engage outsiders in the new universe and vie for territory. The Paxians have decided to rely on technological preparation and logical understanding of the situation.

Ready yourself, for no one truly knows what to expect on the other side – both threatening entities and exciting new territory await!

Hey Sonatians,

Your infiltration of the Red Rogue is going well. After showing your worth in the Fighting Pits, Crim Sonova has deemed you fit to begin contributing to their plans to pillage the multiverse. Your first assignment is to help acquire a piece of Zaphragi research from another place and time. You’ll need to overcome some significant obstacles, and figure out how to get what you came for. If you succeed, the Red Rogue will trust you with even more dangerous missions… and maybe you can figure out what they are really after.

Proving yourself against the Outback Armada

It’s been a while, but we’re back with another contest! Anyone who posts a video of themselves attempting to complete the dungeon with a full squad within the two three weeks of its release will be entered into a drawing to receive a special skin! Any squad that fully completes the dungeon, and beats the final boss, will earn access to that same exclusive skin. Like last time, there are some guidelines to go along this that will make running this go smoothly for all involved.

Contest Guidelines

• A video must be posted of you and your squad trying to complete the Zaphragi Heist instance, after you have beaten the mini boss. You should show you and your squad mates entering the instance and fighting the enemy.

• Only one point of view is needed, though more are appreciated.

• The video recording must be from start to finish. Please start the recording before warping into the galaxy with the boss, you may end the recording anytime after you have scooped the loot.

• Please show the squad screen before warping into the galaxy with the boss. This allows us to easily verify which characters are a part of the clear.

• Roh will be contacting the poster of the video via Discord direct messages to coordinate the delivery of the reward. Please have your DMs open and be available if you are the one posting the video for your squad.

• The video must be uploaded to YouTube.

• All videos must be posted to the #media channel in the Star Sonata Discord.

• There will be a 14 21 day period, starting from when the instance is first opened. Any squad that completes the mini boss kill and submits a video within this time frame will earn the reward. Any squad that fails to fully complete the instance, but still posts a video, will be entered into a drawing for the reward.

• Each player account can only be granted the reward once. Being a part of a new squad and submitting a new video does not mean that a previously rewarded account will be given a second reward.

[Zaphragi Heist]

The Red Rogue have seen it fit to include you in their next operation, infiltrating a Zaphragi sector and stealing something for them. At the direction of Crim Sonova, you and your group will work together to reach through space and time to swipe an important Zaphragi invention and bring it back to him. This high-stakes operation introduces a new instanced six-player dungeon where coordination and firepower are both essential to come away successful. In addition, something else lies within this sector of temporal Zaphragi controlled space… for those willing to risk it.
