Opening his eyes to the amber glow of the sun, the king wakes from his stasis slumber. Looking out from the palace into the endless space, a universe he claimed as his own. Yet each time he declared himself Emperor, the King of Anatolia would be crushed, camped, and usurped by a universe that was fractured by pirates, traders, farmers and other imperial dreamers.
His ship, the Golden Midas, powerless against foes, slowly rebuilt within the undefended palace as it is corrupted again and again by the fury of unjustified claimants. His spirit splintered as he was assassinated again and again for his gold and prestige.
“No longer,” the king declared.
Using his extensive spy network, King Midas claims to have infiltrated Lyceum’s deepest research vaults and stolen a power to change a small but critical portion of the universe. Midas declares that once the universe has collapsed and reset: his demesne will be worthy of his status as Emperor, he will have a fleet of unimaginable power, and will become truly immortal against all.
Whether these claims are actually true is yet to be seen but the universe has become destabilized. It will collapse and reform on October 22nd, 2022.
Dev Notes
- Extractors other then space oats shut off, colonies will no longer make purchases to/from user bases, AI bases will no longer decay goods 7 days before end of the universe. Will be a reminder post.
- Bases, 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.
