Hello Spacepilots!
We’re excited to present a new batch of features and updates today!
🌼 General Changes (applied to all universes):
-
You can now redeem the same bonus multiple times in the Flower Event.
-
Spacia farm attacks now display the Spice value of the stolen resources in your message inbox.
-
Restored defense units and ships after battles are now shown in the battle report – but only to the defender, not to the attacker or in public reports like Hall of Fame.
-
Fixed an issue where Spacia had too many resources after planet relocation. Resource levels are now reset upon moving a planet.
-
Fixed a bug that caused warning messages (at the top of the screen) to display incorrectly.
-
Corrected several texts that were still mistakenly shown in English or German. All texts should now appear correctly in your selected language.
🧪 New Test Phase System: PTU (Public Test Universe)
You’ve already seen occasional tests in the past. Moving forward, we want to introduce a more structured and frequent test system inspired by the “Public Test Realm” concept – ours will be called the:
“PTU – Public Test Universe”
Whenever we introduce larger, test-worthy features, the PTU will open under specific conditions. Everyone is invited – not just team members – as we need active players for in-depth testing.
And: The first test feature launches this Friday!
👾 Alien Outpost Event (PTU Launch on Friday!)
We’re planning a brand-new Alien Outpost Event for Pentecost, and you can already try it out during the PTU phase!
🕑 PTU Launch: Friday, May 2 at 7 PM (CEST)
⏱ Duration: Approximately 9 days (depending on feedback and stability)
🛸 New Feature: Alien Waves
Previously, alien waves attacked automatically when you were active in the outpost galaxy. Now, that concept is getting a major overhaul:
-
You decide when a wave begins.
-
Each wave only lasts a maximum of 5 minutes – no more waiting or preparing for ages.
📈 Progressive Wave System
-
Endless waves: Beat Wave #1? You can start Wave #2, and so on.
-
In the first 100 waves, you unlock powerful bonuses through a skill tree, including:
-
Increased mine production on the outpost
-
Reduced ship/defense build times
-
Lower ship costs
-
Boosted ship strength (attack/defense/all stats)
-
Higher defense unit cap
-
Ship restoration chance after battles
-
🔁 How It Works
-
Wave growth: Each wave increases in strength by nearly double.
-
A wave is considered defeated once you destroy 80% of the ships – the next one starts automatically.
-
If you fail (e.g. due to saving), the wave ends and you can start a new one or take a break.
-
You can restart waves up to 10 levels below your highest reached wave.
-
Once started, a wave cannot be started again for 4 hours. (Note: This cooldown only applies to that specific level – e.g. if you start level 10 and reach level 17, you cannot start level 10 again, but 11–18 are fine.)
-
This restriction does not apply to levels 1 through 5.
♻️ Additional Mechanics
-
Debris fields from alien waves can be recycled, with extended collection intervals.
-
Skill points (bonuses from the wave tree) can be reset after 60 minutes.
-
For defense units, reset is only possible if the reset won’t drop your unit count below the required threshold.
-
Alien tech levels increase with each wave.
-
Player tech stats in these battles are determined by your chosen skill tree bonuses.
