Hey Sonatians,
This is the universe reset patch to prep for the upcoming healing revamp changes. The actual healing revamp changes will be in a few weeks.
The Battle Thatch, Battle Sphere, Massif III and Massif IV will be changing significantly in a few weeks, so take this under advisement when considering these ships as trade bots. Please refer to the Community Testing Event on test to review their stats further.
Base slots for galaxy assault have been changed to reduce the advantage of alt teams in war. When assaulting a galaxy, you now receive +1 BvB slot for every adjacent galaxy that you own. This bonus increases from +1 to +5 for each galaxy that you have owned continuously for the past 24 hours. Also, BvB Amplifiers now only grant their bonus (additional +5 slots) when the galaxy they’re located in has been owned continuously for the past 72 hours..
