Meeting Summary For 12/12/2019
Written by: Interwoven Enigma

Comets in Custom Galaxies
Comets in custom galaxies, or POI galaxies, are coming and will drop thematic items. The example given was comet(s) in blue outpost would drop Blue Whispers, Aethers, Vapors, and Dusts.

Bots on Follow Object
Bots set to follow an object will now check how far they are from their master, they’ll get separation anxiety if further than two jumps away and will attempt to return to you.

Kalthi Vaults
Getting removed, pending rework.

Healing Revamp
Still being worked on, however, Zen of energy, spin, and acceleration have been experimentally changed to a percentage bonus rather than flat, and shield stealing currently is capped at what shields you’re currently missing from your bank. Otherwise, it’s like the fighters rework right now, things are being experimented with, tested, and changed quite a lot, there’s still a lot of flux.

Hull Balance Sheet
While mostly complete, a few values are being tweaked, and options added, it’s getting very close to being finalized. The implementation plan is to push it to live with the healing rework, and thusly will be tested in the healing rework test server before being rolled out.

Class Skills
A proposal was tabled to push back when a new player is introduced to classes and class skills to further into the game, around level 120, along with tentative looks into how the new player experience could be improved.

Reports of flyswatters pouring out of The Nexus in hoards have been broadcast from the Earthforce Defense Relay Network. While they have been able to subdue the flyswatters for now, they warn that at the current rate of growth they will only be able to hold them back for a limited time!

Earthforce Military Officers are expecting their forces to hold steady against the waves of flyswatters as they continue to terrorize the surrounding systems. There is however some worry that they may not be able to hold the line past January 11th.

The Earthforce Logistic team warns the citizens of the universe to pack your bases and dock your bots for transport into a new universe! Make sure that you have collected your bot credit holdings as they will not transfer over to the new universe.

The universe reset will be held on Saturday, January 11th
GMT: 18:00
EST: 13:00
CST: 12:00
MST: 11:00
PST: 10:00

We know a lot of players are worried about the upcoming shield and healing rework that was announced. While we are still in the early stages of development for this we want to keep everyone as updated as possible. With that in mind we have decided to start doing developer video blog posts that will answer some of your questions!

The first few videos will cover a couple questions we felt that you would like answered and can be found on the Star Sonata youtube page.

We know that these will not answer all of the questions you may have, so feel free to submit those questions here!

While we will not be able to answer all of the questions you submit. We will try our best to keep everyone updated with the many changes that are coming to this revamp so that nobody is left unaware of what is happening.

On August 31, the universe will implode and a new amazing and wonderful universe will be reborn from the ashes!

With the destruction of our old universe, a new one will be created! All characters, their skills, ships, and bots will be transferred over, but deployed drones and userbases will be lost, as well as anything on the userbases! You will have to re-explore the universe to map everything out once again. Some Lyceum scientists have even rumored that rare empires have found ways to enrich their territories. With hidden spoils come unseen threats, beware!

Note: Make sure that you retrieve all credits from your bots before the universe reset, as a bot’s credit holdings will not be carried over into the new universe!
