On November 18th, 2021 we announced that galaxy assault (BvB Slots) were temporarily disabled.
After examining the problems and discussing temporary fixes for large scale galaxy assaults, we have decided that the two week timeframe is insufficient for a good solution to be implemented. Therefore, for the duration of this universe galaxy assault is going to remain disabled, with changes being implemented on next universe reset.
This is to prevent more server-wide lag, unenjoyable gameplay, and provide a cleaner timeframe for the issues to be addressed. Over the duration of this existing universe, the development team is heavily focusing on improving the Wild Space experience, as well as addressing long-standing issues that have revolved around the galaxy assault scene.
The aspects of wild space that will be focused on are:
- Galaxy Assault
Greatly reducing the complexity of the rules and limitations around galaxy assault while retaining deep theorycrafting potential. Also substantially reducing the engagement duration and minimum resource expenditure necessary to engage in galaxy assault.
- Player-Versus-Base Assault
Envisioning new roles for players in galaxy assault including essential roles in backline/logistics and sabotage.
- Galaxy Control
Lower the emphasis demanding that players are immediately present during resets, and how quickly the layer is claimed. As well as adjusting resource distribution to remove the Feast or Famine effect that is currently prevalent in Wild Space
We understand that keeping BvB disabled for the rest of the current universe will interfere with some players’ plans. If you deployed bases with the intention to support or defend against an impending galaxy assault, you may be entitled to a refund of base kits and augmenters.
