Let’s spread the word and see if we can get 100+ pilots for the 50th anniversary Beta!

Here are some changes from last game (all other settings are the same from the previous game setting)

A few changes,

-cloakers (6 moves to cloak, 2 de-cloak)
-scrap generated has been increased
-self rep for non-capital ship increased, slightly
-biggest change, capital ships need 100,000 points now to turn in.
-can change ships at 50,000 but will revert to 32k

Mostly same settings increased scrap slightly. Adjusted anomalies and gates. But let’s just get a game running again.

Delaying a bit to allow the game to align with the Tvs meet up and gives Ecvej time to insure the server and game code is all good with its recent update

A 15 minute tick frantic will start at 6pm today. Game settings can be found at https://www.violetsector.com/config.php
