[h2]Hi Captains![/h2]

This Major Update focuses on Fleet Starbase Expansion, including a brand new Room design: The Debris Harvester!

Generating random raw materials that can be collected by Fleet Members, the Debris Harvester has limited capacity, requires Supply to be recharged, and refreshes every 12 hours.


Before we go into the new Patch Notes, we would like to address the issue of poor Server Performance that has been occurring over the last few days.

After investigating the cause of these issues, we have identified a permanent fix alongside several improvements to help with future server stability.

While this is great news, we sincerely apologize for any disruption this may have caused to regular gameplay, and for any frustration these issues may have caused.


AN IMPORTANT REMINDER: Prestige Tree options will change on the 1st of October! Any Crew Prestiges started before this time will still proceed to their current prestige combination results.


Please find the latest Patch Notes below. This update is now available on Android, Mac, iOS, and Steam.

Please contact our Support Team if you experience any problems updating the game.
