We are most likely the oldest community still here (Opened our private empyrion server in nov 2015, made it public in april of 2016), and not super well known. We have recently begun reworking our community, our empyrion server, and adding a LOT to our current server lineup. We host Empyrion, Ark, Minecraft, and a few other games as asked by our community . We also have private, community only servers just for our patrons because well... They fund the whole project and they deserve a huge thank you for that!

As a new member in recent weeks to the server, and my 1st ever experience in MP after 500+ hrs in SP, I can say I'm very impressed with the format and helpful admins. Keeps me coming back for more. Looking forward to experiencing what's in place with recent server updates and what's coming next.
You have some info about your server but there's a few things I'm curious about. Do you do scheduled/regular restarts of the playfields/server? Do you do scheduled/regular resets of playfields/POIs? Some planets? All? How often? Is there a calendar somewhere? Is there a forum somewhere or steam group? Can you talk a little about the layout of your galaxy? I see you've set it up with choke points for each sector, do you expect these to be hot spots for pvp? What other things were planned into the layout? Are the resources spread out or clustered together? What are the starting planet difficulties set to? Other planets? (I like everything set to hard/difficult/omgwhy) Feel free to tell me I ask too many questions I do know that some things are better left to discovery... But some of this might help to attract permanent players as well.
Playfield servers are unloaded when empty, and server has regular 12 hour restarts. I would do more but this is currently unnecessary on our current hardware. Resets are posted after a vote to reset a playfield. We do not schedule playfield wipes currently as it is unnecessary at the present moment. It usually gets announced and voted on. We do have a steam group and a website currently being built. There WILL be a forum eventually once the website is completed Our community was just made public a week ago. Until then application was filtered and we had a password set. There is a lot planned into the layout of our sector map. There is a more up to date map and explanation on our unknownskies.com page. More information will become available as we progress. This is still a work in progress. Resources are VERY spread out and abundant. This may change in the future, but again this is a work in progress!! As our little community grows our server changes. Some of it changes live. Starting planet difficulty ranges quite a bit. From easy to WTF is this supposed to be? lol Other planets have a range of difficulty from "ok I can sleep anywhere" to "omg run, run, run, dodge, guns out, wtf is that thing?" Our dream is to be able to accommodate a wide range of players with a fairly dynamic mix of playfields and environmental variables. Again this is all a work in progress while we grow quickly. We are bringing a LOT of single player people into the multiplayer game with what we offer and we have a very helpful community If anyone has any more questions I would gladly answer them and please do stop by for a visit!!
Appreciate it Looking for a new home for a mixed group of pvp'ers and pve'ers... Hope to see you in-game soon.
We hope to see you in game as well By the by we updated some information @ unknownskies.com adding maps, an intro, and a lot of other new tidbits, and will be updating this post again here in the very near future. We are even in the process of performing a resource survey that will give players a clearer picture of whats available sector to sector.
If you're looking for a great community with an awesome admin team, Unknown Skies is what you're looking for. I recently started the game, having fiddled around in single player just long enough to learn some basics. It wasn't long before I wanted to move to multiplayer as that's one of the main features that drew me to EGS. In the past week, we've had base raids, hover death races, destruction derbies, and multiple planet invasion events. The admin team is active and fair, trying their damnedest to make Unknown Skies a server the EGS community can be proud of, and I believe they've done just that. Pros: Active, fair admins Mature, helpful community Server-wide scheduled events with their own prizes (invasions, races, destruction derbies, etc) Cons: You haven't tried it yet, come on in!
I started playing on this server 2 weeks ago and is by far the best MP server out there. Admins are very fair and friendly, they actually do play with you and do not abuse their powers, ever. Chat is mature, server behaves flawless and the player base is helpful. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a nice place to play. Very PVE friendly but with the right dose of PVP also. 5 stars
Started fresh 4.0 on Omino... oh... my... The insanity of it all! Drones everywhere, nasty ankle biters... GET SOME!! GET SOME! GET... dead. I haven't had this much fun dying over and over in a long time If you decide to join the proud and the few on Omino... bring a drill... dig a hole... say goodbye to your loved ones cuz you're going to be down there a long while!
Thank you VERY much for all the positive reviews!!! Its nice to have players that love our server Thank you!
Looking to add a comprehensive player contributed survival guide to the web site! How do you get off to a good start after crash landing? Any advice for raiding POI's? Best weapons to use when and why? Where do you go to gather what materials? Favorite starter planet? Have any ships you recommend? Why recommend them? Best creatures for the hunt for food? Details Matter to those who crash and hope to survive.
Hello, folks! I'd like to add my voice to the praising for the Unknown Skies admins. They are putting SOLID work into maintaining a high-quality, entertaining server, with a good community. They use EAH for maintenance, and are very responsive to their users. A crack team of admins, great support, a growing, information-loaded website, and more! If you want a good place to give PvPvE a try, you can't do better than Unknown Skies. Hope to see you at one of my Waffle Hauses. --Brian
