[Bugs]
- Fixed bug with mobile drones desyncing on warping through wormholes or /f.
It’s time to celebrate! Ten years ago today, 12th November 2011, our brave pilots stepped into a brand new universe. After years of work Star Sonata 2 was ready to be released, and while the road may not have been the smoothest, we have made some great strides in that time.
To celebrate, we’re hosting an event running from 12th November, 18:00 UTC (13:00 server time) until 23rd November at 05:00 UTC (00:00 server time). During this time we’ll have a whole slew of bonuses running. Anyone who logs on during this time will receive a commemorative holoprojector, Sonata, Second Impression, in recognition of the event. Each day (that is midnight to midnight, starting on the 13th at 05:00 UTC) players who login will also receive a new, special item, a visage kit. There are a total of ten, one for each day, to collect. The ten visage kits coming with this event span the tech ranges from tech 1 to tech 22. More will be coming in the future.
The bonuses for the event are increased augmenter (50%) and bindomite drops (10%), increased chances on mod rolls for dropped items and loot (10%), and prospecting node refill rate (10%) and amount extracted (10%), and comet drops (50%) until 22nd!
Visage kits are a new type of item. They can be combined with the item listed in their description to alter the appearance of that item. The item you are combining it with must be unequipped. Once combined the item becomes neurobound (so use your Bindomite before combining), however you can reverse the process at any time by selecting Dismantle from the right click menu on that item.
Just a quick heads up that while most of the world has now come out of their DST (or entered it, for countries following DST in the southern hemisphere), the US and Canada do not come out of DST until the day after the universe reset.
That means it’s one of those rare occasions where for a lot of us the universe reset is at a different hour to normal. To reiterate, here’s the countdown timer and the times for a few timezones;
Server Down for Emergency Maintenance due to a large bug. We are currently researching the issue.
More information will be posted on the SS Discord. We have no ETA at this time.
Edit: Issue was resolved.
The Halloween event has started, and Spacey has been busy!
Spacey has opened wormholes accessing Plaguespace throughout the universe. From these wormholes poured hordes of vampyres, pumpkins, will o’ wisps, trolls, and undead space rats!
Please, help contain these intrusive beings until the plans to evacuate the universe are complete!
If you run into one of the many entrances to Plaguespace, do battle the space rats inside to help stem the influx of them into our universe!
Spacey has informed us that Halloween will run until the universe collapses on November 6th!
Happy Halloween!
Lyceum Bulletin:
The Mad Scientist has done it again!
Reports are flooding in of an explosion radiating out from the laboratory located in Lunacy. After an experiment mixing Eridium, Adamantium, and Dark Matter failed to be conducted properly, the scientist was seen fleeing the lab yelling, “It’s not my fault!”
Nobody has seen or heard from the scientist since that date and authorities are advising everyone to begin packing for the universe relocation program! The containment unit housing the experiment has begun leaking an unknown particle into the universe. Lyceum scientists began studying the leaking particle shortly after receiving news of the explosion and have provided the following statement.
After extensive examination of the radiation leaking from the explosion site, top scientists predict the collapse of the universe to be on November 6th, 2021. Citizens are asked to ensure all personal assets and fleets are properly stored.
