Universe Reset: Pungent Space Cheese

In a distant corner of the universe, the space rats had developed a particularly pungent and powerful cheese. It was said that one bite of this cheese could make even the toughest of pilots swoon with pleasure.

But what the space rats didn’t realize was that their cheese was causing a cosmic disturbance. You see, the cheese was so potent that it had created a tear in the fabric of space-time. And as more and more space rats indulged in their beloved cheese, the tear grew bigger and bigger.

Space Cheese

Before anyone knew it, the tear had become a black hole, sucking everything in its path into its vortex. And as the black hole grew, it began to pull the entire universe into its grasp.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, the space rats banded together to try and stop the black hole. They tried everything from sending in their best pilots to blow it up to offering sacrifices of their precious cheese, but nothing seemed to work.

In a last ditch effort, the space rats decided to do the unthinkable. They would use their cheese to create a new universe. They harnessed the power of the cheese and channeled it into a cosmic explosion. Now the universe is collapsing on itself and will reset in one month!

  • 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.
