[h3]Release 1.1.1[/h3]

Recently there has been an increase of the "player count" where the game jumped from the highest 24 player count up to 4000! However this looks like a bot problem. Seems like bots run the game every 2 hours to try to get item drops, usually weekly planets and sell them on the market. This update attempts to fix this issue of bots, the game now has an algorithm which checks if you are a legit player playing. This algorithm is not going to be explained.

[h3]Features/Changes[/h3]

• Engine updated to from GM 2024.4 to 2024.6, which brings more stability to the core of the game
  
• Attempt to "fix" the bot problem
  
• Player Count EXP multiplier bonus decreased
  

I won't ban bots, as it's impossible to ban 4000 individual accounts, let alone make the anticheat try to ban people, which could lead problems in banning legit players, so my goal is to make users get drops but just make it HARDER FOR BOTS to get drops. Enjoy the update
