[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

Experience a re-energized Galaxy Map, lively with activity. The Spice Trade establishes regular Ship Battles, separated into 3 level tiers, with a steadily increasing difficulty and set of rewards.

Boss Battles, Rare Events like Stardust Comets and Treasure Fleets, Traveling NPC Merchants and a host of new challenges are also waiting for players of all levels.



Encounters will have a wide variety of travel behaviors. Intercepting a ship will require you to travel to the marker’s next destination System, or its current docked location.



If an Encounter travels outside of your explored Galaxy Map, it will become unavailable until it returns to an explored sector.

Factions of Spice Traders offer access to rare and exotic Items for your hard-earned Void Particles and Stardust. These Traders will partially restock as they visit each system location.



The Spice Trade will continue to expand over the coming days as players familiarize themselves with the new system, with many surprises to be unveiled!
