5.0.02 Astral Arena: Discussion Thread

Dear friends!

We're glad to announce that the upcoming 5.0.02 update will present the opportunity to test your ship in the Astral Arena - a special sector in Astral space where conditions are as close to real as possible.

"We have many players who enjoy flights on their ships, and are skillful enough to leave very little chance for novices to compete. Therefore, we've decided to add a special sector where anyone can put their ships' fire power to the test, and improve their ship controlling skills in fights against stronger opponents without the need to spend resources on reparation."

-Konstantin Bratischev, designer.

You can get to the Astral Arena sector using a wormhole within the home hubs, which is *always* open for visiting.

The sector is divided into four different zones: Maintenance System, Firing Zone, Stable Zone and Scintillation Zone.

Be sure to check out the Astral Arena Announcement for details & information regarding each of these zones.

Don't forget:
Just like previous 5.0.02 news, if we receive 200 likes across GP or social media (all languages adding to the total), we'll reward this with yet another lucky moments weekend.

Will this also be done in EU timezones so none of the 9-5 working US people can do it?
Just like Anomolous Sector and Raid Dominion?

I must have missed that.
Thanks for noticing it.

That's the plan, Lade.
The Arena will be a good place for players to safely test their ships (how to fly, how equipment combos perform, how much damage they can deal, test items etc) and also provides PvP zones so that people who wish to go for a Ship on Ship brawl can do so without having to randomly bump into each other on a regular Astral Journey.

It'll be good fun and practice for all ship enthusiasts.

im still wondering why you are installing 5.0.02.18 and not 5.0.02.25 ..

I don't like you, you don't like me
Its not likely that we'll ever be friends
Why pretend?

They say, "Evil prevails when good men fail to act." What they ought to say is, "Evil prevails."

If my.com would behave like the company I'm working for I wouldn't wonder if they release that patch a week later with a big announcement: "See, we listened to your feedback, now shut up". I still hope those companies are somewhat different
