GAME NEWS
Patch 9.01 has now launched, as expected, the introduction of the changes and new toys in Update 9 resulted in a few additional bugs, some of which were quite substantial, so we’ve had a hot fix launched to repair those. Patch notes are here:
I know that this won’t have addressed everything that is problematic, so i’d expect another coming quite soon after this one.
It’s also worth noting that we are now in the countdown to Christmas, and as a result FDev has started giving out their free Arx for each day that you log in. Right now we are at 100Arx per day. In past years they have increased this periodically as the days go on, so, if you want to get hold of extra Arx for minimal effort, this is a great opportunity.
FACTION NEWS
NEWP has expanded once again, this time bringing out educational facilities to the Ovid system where we are currently engaged in an election with one of the local factions for control of a port in the system. Thanks to the amazing work of our @Faction Ops (BGS) team we are now present in 29 systems, and represent the controlling faction in 21 of those. Our efforts to enlighten the galaxy are continuing apace and another expansion is already beginning.
If you’d like to get involved, head on down to the factionchat channel on discord and find out how.
EVENTS
This Weekend - Crystal Gardens Visit
Our final weekend event before the Christmas Break. This weekend we have both the return of the 5 Euro tour, and a trip to the Crystal Gardens.
It’s time to stock up on those raw materials. The crystal shards are by far the fastest way in the galaxy to stock up on raw materials and we’ll be providing fleet carrier support to make the process quicker and easier.
Details will be up in the 5-euro-tour channel soon.
