Game Update 22

Game Update 22 – The Wraith

We are deploying an update to all live servers on Thursday, October 24th. This update will contain the new model for the Wraith, new planetoids and some long anticipated bug fixes.

Pilots,

With Game Update 22 we would like to introduce you to the new Wraith model! Isn’t it beautiful?



Also we implemented new models for Planetoids. Get a peek with this developer shot:



With the implementation of the new planetoids we also improved the collision with space objects by adjusting their collider positions. This reduces ‘strange’ collisions such as colliding with invisible objects or moving through textures.

This update will need a server maintenance of approx. 90 minutes overall. We are going to start to shut the servers down at 9.00am CEST (UTC+2). The countdown will start around 15 minutes beforehand on each server.
The game update will be deployed as following:

9.00 am CEST – EU Libran, Virgon, Canceron
9.30 am CEST – EU Tauron, Picon, Sagittaron
10.00 am CEST – US EAST
10.30 am CEST – US WEST
