Hi all! I just want to quickly announce a decision made during today’s dev team meeting.

For quite a while, we’ve been having internal conversations about the state of PvP in the galaxy Paxian Stronghold. We find it a bit odd to permit PvP but also have invincible “police” ships in the galaxy who will attack anyone who breaks the peace. It feels inconsistent from a design perspective. Since Paxian Stronghold is a hub galaxy of the Kalthi Depths layer, we’ve decided to disallow PvP there to bring it into line with the hub galaxies of the other layers (e.g. Sol and Perilous Outpost). This change has just been applied to the live server.
