Please read this first. This update is rushed. It is big, a lot of it is new, and we expect the new features to have rough edges. We will fix what we find, and what you report, within the week. The fastest way to reach us is Discord or the discussions here.
The Universe Wipe, rebuilt. The next wipe keeps every ship, your drones, formations, P.E.T.s and P.E.T. Stations, and a rebuilt Transport Cache: one locked ship keeps all its gear, three bays of 10 slots and 100 t of cargo (up from 50 t). Everything else is removed and clans end. Credits above 5,000,000,000 and Thulium above 10,000,000 are lost, but only at a wipe announced with at least 14 days of notice.
The wipe pays by your rank: Wipe Points, Premium days, Credits, Thulium, loot containers and a season title. A Season Report opens after the wipe, and a Wipe preview shows beforehand what it will do to you.
40 achievements and 32 titles under Community > Achievements. Each pays Credits, once per account.
Five loot containers (Specimen Vault, Foundry Crucible, Chroma Archive, Survey Canister, Reagent Rack). They are earned, never sold, and the odds are printed in the game.
Daily rewards: a calendar for each season, a Collect button, 6 hours of grace, no streak.
Six special items. For now only we hand them out.
Statistics for each wipe: This wipe, Total and Past wipes, plus a Hall of Fame for every wipe.
Smaller: Beta needs level 7 and Gamma level 10. The black hole grows in the last 72 hours before the wipe. The Galaxy Gates spin for Thulium only. P.E.T. Stations are upgraded from the one below. Davidski's Auction lots stand last. New sounds. The wiki is updated in 13 languages. The Thulium page now points to our Discord, where bonus codes are handed out.
We will announce the date separately, here and on Discord. The caps only apply to a wipe announced with at least 14 days of notice. Nothing is taken that was not announced first.
Update the game. A 0.4.25 game keeps working but has none of the new screens.
Build the Chrono-Gate (100 parts) so the Transport Cache opens.
Lock the ship whose gear you want to keep (the lock is final), fill the bays and the cargo, and collect your finished crafts.
Open the Wipe preview and check your Credits and Thulium against the caps.
The new wipe has been rehearsed on a test server, not on live data. If anything goes wrong for you, tell us.
The new Logbook is not switched on yet.
Thank you for flying with us, and for your patience while we iron this out. See you in space.
