Hello Galactic Survivalists!
In today's March update, as promised, we have provided a first set of improvements and even new content.

These include, among others:
- The improvement of the sword and body shield includes an increased swing speed, an additional animation, and a glowing effect around the avatar when the shield is active.
- The UI/UX improvements have added new information and markers for the Dark Field strength on the map, as well as a warning message before landing on a planet.
- The new feature for range preview of generators allows a live preview of the effect field before final placement, for both Dark Field Neutralizers and Generators as well as regular gravity generators.
- The new content includes a gravity generator for small ships (SV) with a renewed model and various ranges, available in both game versions (with and without DLC).

Unfortunately, the "Boarding Parties" feature discussed in the recently released blog had to be postponed to the upcoming next update in April. So, your security teams have gained a little more time for training.

Included in today's update, of course, are bug fixes as well as further adjustments and improvements listed below in the complete changelog.

As always: please report bugs in this forum: https://empyriononline.com/forums/bugs.24/

We thank you all for your cooperation and patience and look forward to your feedback!

Main game &...

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

At the beginning of March, we provided some insights here into the basic contents for the coming weeks and months (Roadmap Blog - March/April 2024).

Today, we want to get more specific and give you a little preview of the upcoming update.

Here's a little disclaimer: All images below and detailed information should be considered as work in progress. They are from the active development process, and it's possible that even days before a release, things may change or, if in doubt, be postponed to the next update. Therefore, the information below is primarily to let you know what we are currently working on and to shorten the waiting time for the next update. Thank you for your understanding.

With that said - What are the main topics of the next update?

New Features: Boarding Parties!
The turrets of the Dark Faction are getting (the first iteration of) a new function! The Disruptor Turret will now be able to immobilize your (not shield-protected) ship and then the Translocator turret will teleport troops over to your vessel! Make sure your internal security is up to scratch!

Improvement: Sword and Body Shield
Three improvements are planned here. Not only has the swing speed of the sword been significantly increased. There is now also an additional animation and a glow effect around your avatar as soon as the shield is active.



UI/UX Improvements:

• Dark Field On Screen Info & Warning message
  We added new information and updated the markers in the various map views about the presence or strength of the local Dark Field. There is also now a new message: when you approach a planet it will inform you about the strength of the Dark Field even before you attempt to land!
  
• Lift-Off Warning
  In addition to that, we also plan to add another new warning message - available for both game versions: If you approach a planet, a warning will be displayed in case you would not be able to take off from this planet.

Last but not least, the current update includes a topic that fits with the previous improvement and also brings some new content that we would like to explain to you in advance.

New Feature: Range Preview for Generators
Both for the Dark Field Neutralizers (also for the Dark Field...

Hello Galactic Survivalists!

First off, we want to thank you for your patience over the last days and weeks while we have been working on further improvements and bug fixes!



We acknowledge that the DLC fell short of what we intended. Our aim was to offer something substantial and innovative, but in our pursuit to push boundaries, we ended up releasing an experience that was not well-polished and had technical issues. Now, we can only show you with facts that we want to make things right. Our entire team is working diligently on these step-by-step improvements.

One of the key issues was the COOP mode, which was addressed in the recently released update.

It is now not only operational again but the scenario "Rise of the Dark Faction" has also been expanded in terms of cooperative play for small groups. This means you can now play the scenario and its story campaign with several friends at the same time in a new game. Please pay attention to the new text displays and information from the game and keep in mind that it is a COOP scenario, not a full multiplayer scenario.



So, what comes next? Let’s have a quick look!

Dark Field Improvements
We're refining how the game communicates the Dark Field's impact, ensuring you have all the information you need to navigate its challenges.

New Notification Feature*
Stay alert with a feature that warns you when approaching a planet that's hard to escape due to gravitational or dark field conditions.

Handling Enhancements
Expect better handling of Dark Field Generators, Neutralizers, and Gravity Generators*, allowing for tailored gameplay strategies

Gameplay Experience
Look forward to a series of updates aimed at enriching the overall gameplay - from better shield indicators to enhanced NPC animations.

Spreading Mechanic & Dark Field
We're expanding the spread mechanic so that it can be used with other NPC factions, and we're generalizing the Dark Field settings to provide new layers of strategic depth and creative approaches.

This is, of course, just a brief summary of the things we are doing to show you that we continue to work with the utmost effort to provide you with the gaming experience you deserve and that we haven't for a minute thought of letting you, our community, down.

As always, we look forward to your valued feedback!

Have fun playing!
