Lets whet those appetites!
Empyrion's absolutely HUGE update, Alpha version 6 of the game is set to launch 07 June, it brings an absolute monster load of changes to the game including among a myriad of other features:
Oxygen! and the need for ventilators etc in bases.
Radiation, some planets will poison you without the right...
Armour Mods, modify your suit with different effects like easier EVA or temperature protection/ radiation protection etc...
Trade Stations with AI that you can use your credits at!
Enemy troop ships, and cv's that actively try to kill you..
And so so much more my doods...

Remember Empyrion is still not for the faint of heart, while Addx and I have tested these experiementals a lot, the Drones still relentlessly slaughter you, but there are all sorts of systems in place to make those initial hours less frustrating.

It'd be great if you all came back to have a look once this update lands, there's really a lot more to the game to enjoy.
Here's the trailer for this update:

I'll be coming back once the big release is pushed Sith, been playing single player at the moment just to try and keep on top of things but definitely want to jump in with a group of us again :thumb:

Aye. Have to admit I'm tempted to have a go

will this update force a server wipe does anyone know? Just out of interest

[SithAfrikaan]

Server will be wiped

Anyone planning to come back and have a go with all the awesome features, I have some tips!

SPAWN AT AKUA! If you spawn at Omnicron, be prepared for a hellish start! I would much prefer us all to establish something on Akua then move out into the solar system, the drones are just as evil as before, and now that the radiation and temperature and oxygen all factor into your survival, the green friendly planet never looked so good!

STOCK Blueprints are enabled, so if you absolutely hate the idea of building something from scratch, Empyrion's own blueprints are there to save you some time.

Don't forget to do the solo missions accessable from the PDA, they reward you with some much needed coins and equipment early on, and are another reason to start on Akua!

 Above all else Have fun! There is an absolute heap of new features, I'll post the patch notes here once they are out, the game has all sorts of horrible things ready to kill us, friendly npc's that just want to trade, enemy CV's that will rain hellfire down on all of us, just to name a few!

[Sparko]

Spot on! Looking forward to this. Lots of new stuff and rather exciting

I'll also be streaming the new content, so if you don't have this game yet or are reluctant to start 'the grind' again until you have seen what it offers, then you can view it via twitch during the day on our communities channel until tea time before the Overwatch stream starts in the evening.

Here with the BIG FAQ about the patch that is still due today:
Have a look, have a read, and don't let me catch anyone asking why the medic bays aren't auto healing you anymore! It's all in these notes! :flirty:

Anyone joining and thinking that the resources seem scarce fear not! Remember that the Blueprint system is activated, and by placing DISASSEMBLED blocks into it you still get refunded the value of those items in their base metals. For example, if you are trying to figure out where you are supposed to get 2000 iron from, but you have 4000 steel plates lying around since you deconstructed that base you placed your core in, then fear not! uploading the steel plates directly into the factory not only loads the amount of iron, in this case, 0.5 per steel plate I think it is, counting towards your iron ore req, but also changes the crafting time since you've put refined blocks in, the tiear 1 CV Sithy's Super Chode mk1 took only 1hour 36 minutes to produce, and cost me half of an "outpost" in resources.

This is a great way to get yourself space bound, and warp bound, and even if you don't like the prefab tier1 at the very least you can deconstruct whole parts of it to change it or rebuild it from scratch!

Now, where to find more promethium... :norty:

Empyrion is now 50% off guys until 14th June. £7.49 is a bargain if you don't already have it
