** Attacking team can now take over abandoned destroyed stations in enemy territory (radiation also destroy the base now). Even if you have 50 bases in a galaxy, the enemies can also deploy 50. ** Galaxy limit on bases is now on a per team basis.

** No longer any limit to the amount of attacking kits that can be deployed (so long as you can deploy one kit in enemy territory, you can deploy up to the galaxy limit!) ** The 10 bases per user limit per galaxy has been removed. Outpost drones donвЂ™t get any class skill or trade skill bonuses. These 36 hour duration temp drones can be used with a user base to own territory not connected to a Team HQ. ** PvP invincibility aura is removed (the ability to tow your ship from stasis made it unnecessary). ** Non-base weapons can no longer be equipped to user bases. Those are part of a new line of вЂњpermanentвЂќ end game base lasers to go with superlasers, cannons etc. ** Andaman Laser Z and Achilles Laser Z will be automatically replaced from your inventory by Vervaardiger вЂBerhinger IVвЂ™ EX-Z and Vervaardiger Station Lance SG-Z respectively.

All kits come with the 3 blueprint preinstalled to upgrade them. ** X/Y/Z versions of base gear is no longer transferable between bases and ships, instead theyвЂ™re built directly on the station as a set using mostly time and common resources. They can be found in Lagrange, Lyceum and Vervaardiger. ** Class skill no longer affect bases, but new base only superitem were added allowing for bonus to be applied on bases strategically. ** Most base gear stats were rebalanced to increase their overall power and reduce the impact of stm (stm are still important, but non stm bases wonвЂ™t be as defenseless).

IвЂ™ll be back again with another update when I have something new and exciting to report! Until then, feel free to post questions, comments or suggestions in the forums! In addition to testing, I also helped him rework the JunkyardвЂ™s introductory mission structure a bit so itвЂ™s more dynamic no more of that pesky docking between missions! Finally, I worked on enabling the easter egg mission mechanic on all the item classes that he needed so we could turn your dusty DG loot into shiny new Scrapnotes! Normally, I ask The Vert to QA content IвЂ™ve worked on (like Arctia or the Jungle) so it was a fun reversal to QA something heвЂ™s worked on. I also spent a fair amount of time working with The Vert on something IвЂ™m very excited about, Junkyard project. This is something they currently canвЂ™t do and will no doubt be useful in upgrading equipped items, like base lasers or dampeners, automatically. IвЂ™ve also added a new blueprint feature - allowing blueprints the option of taking equipped items. There are a lot of items to be obtained there, as well as quite a few blueprints to build those items, so that equals out to a quite a bit of content work. Chief among these included finishing the loot tables for the Jungle. This past week was mainly about making some last minute changes and additions before we start the new universe. Now, onto the actual update portion of this post. IвЂ™ve been a part of the gameвЂ™s community, and the gameвЂ™sВ development, for over 10 years at this point and IвЂ™ve loved every moment of it.

IвЂ™m still going to be working on exciting new content, bug fixes, etc, IвЂ™m just reducing my involvement (much like I did when I first left for university all those years ago, for those of you who might remember Star Sonata 6-7 years ago). IвЂ™ve really had a blast working full-time the last few years with Jeff, Jey, Blue Dwarf and the other developers so IвЂ™m definitely sticking around. IвЂ™ll still be making updates but theyвЂ™re not going to be scheduled as they are now, instead theyвЂ™re going to happen less frequently, mainly when I have something exciting or interesting to announce.ДЇor those of you wondering, this is a result of me moving from my position as a full-time developer to a part time role as I pursue other career goals. This weekвЂ™s update is going to be the last weekly update I do - as I shift my role within Star Sonata a bit.
