Hello, Pioneers!

Today, we’re happy to confirm that the update will arrive this September!
Our previous announcement covered improvements to Workstations, crafting balance, technology progression, new buildings and more. This time, we’re taking a closer look at the changes coming to Corporations.
Happy reading, Pioneers!
“If you want to go fast, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”
Whether you manage a Solo Corporation or build a growing business alongside other players, several improvements are coming to make Corporations easier to manage, develop, and join.
The new Recruitment Board will help Corporation leaders find suitable candidates while giving Pioneers the information they need to choose the right Corporation.
You can access it from the Corporation interface by pressing "P" by default.
Promote your Corporation: Corporation leaders can use the new Corporation Header Card to display important information about their business. Introduce your Corporation, highlight what makes it unique, and attract Pioneers who share your ambitions and values.
Custom Emblem: Every Corporation should display its colours with pride. Create a unique emblem and make your Corporation instantly recognizable across the galaxy.
Compare Corporations: Candidates can browse and compare Corporations before applying. Whether you want to join players from your region or contribute to a fast-growing business, you’ll have access to useful information such as the member list, ship levels, Corporation description, emblem, and more.
Explore new opportunities: You can now access another Corporation’s recruitment page even if you already belong to one, allowing you to browse and apply elsewhere. Competition for the galaxy’s best talent can be fierce…
Corporations can also compare applicants and select the best talent to join their ranks.
We want to make solo Corporations a more balanced and fully supported part of the game. While playing solo has always been possible, the Corporation system may have felt designed exclusively for multiplayer. However, Corporations are intended to be a core part of the experience, whether you play solo or with others.
Solo Corporation members will benefit from a simplified interface that only displays information relevant to their activities.
You can convert a Solo Corporation into a multi-member Corporation. This allows you to discover and develop your Corporation at your own pace before expanding your operations alongside other players.
Note: A multi-member Corporation cannot be converted back into a Solo Corporation.
Solo and multi-member Corporations will now have separate rankings, creating a fairer competitive environment for both types of businesses.
You will now be able to discuss with other players and hold private one-to-one conversations.
Recruiting the right Pioneer sometimes requires a discreet discussion. Whether you want to learn more about a candidate, discuss your Corporation’s ambitions, or negotiate the terms of a new opportunity.
Note: You need to be on the same Quadrant as the person you interact with to use the whisper feature.
You’ll also be able to view other members of your Corporation more easily from the Corporation interface.
More to Come
These Corporation improvements are only part of what’s coming in September’s update.
We’re continuing to refine SpaceCraft based on your feedback.
Stay tuned for the release date, Pioneers!
