Version 1.10 Update on July 23rd

Greetings Captains! 

Server-Vulcan and Server-Romulus will undergo maintenance at 00：00 July. 23rd, 2015 (PDT, server time). The maintenance is estimated to take about 3 hours.

For this update, we are implementing a new patch distribution plan. Server-Vulcan and Server-Romulus will be updated during the downtime, and will be moved to Version 1.10. After a few days of stability assurance, we will activate the update on the other servers.

This is in response to technical difficulties with recent patches, and our desire to make sure the changes we’ve implemented in testing will prevent issues from arising again.

Below is the update list:

2. Players can enter the event by clicking on the event icon, then clicking “Go” to proceed to the scene.

    a) You can only travel to the planetoid adjacent to your starship’s planetoid.

    b) You cannot travel to the spawn point of the rival faction.

    c) Your starship can travel to your spawn point directly, regardless of the distance between your ship and the spawn point.

4. Battles will be triggered once the ship reaches an enemy planetoid. The winning faction of the battle will take the planetoid.

    a) Neutral planetoids can be occupied once enemy creatures are eliminated.

    b) Hostile planetoids can be occupied once all enemy players (including queuing enemy players) are eliminated.

    c) If an enemy player attacks a planetoid where a starship is stationed, you will enter the battlefield directly to start fighting or queue for the battle.

    d) If 2 factions attack a neutral planetoid simultaneously, they will need to queue to enter the battlefield. After creatures are eliminated, a battle between factions will start（line up by factions). The winner will occupy the planetoid.

    e) When battle is triggered, you need to click CHECK above the rankings on the left to enable battlefield animation.

    f) The combat power, attributes, and skills of the starships are in line with the rules of normal battles.

    h) Click Tactic at the bottom of the interface to see expansion functions——Raid and Quit.

    i) Quit: You can leave the queue by clicking a planetoid of your faction (green) in the queue. No cost required.  

    j) Raid: You can start a raid by clicking a planetoid of the enemy faction (red) in the queue. By doing so, you will reach the planetoid instantly and trigger a combat. Raid Tokens are required.

5. Starships will get damaged after combat but will not be destroyed. You can repair your ship at the spawn point of your faction.

6. After the event, all players will be forced to leave the scene. If you want to leave before the battle ends, you must click Leave at the spawn point of your faction.
