Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #218 from Aephia – https://aephia.com/star-atlas/weekly-star-atlas-newsletter-218/
This week’s Star Atlas update is headlined by critical governance activity and infrastructure progress within the Z.ink ecosystem. Voting is officially open until March 6th for PIP-27, the inaugural DAO Casters election, and PIP-28, which proposes $30,000 in temporary funding for lead lore writer José. Current DAO Caster leaders include Winston and Alices Arcade, though voters should note that Chet Roberts has officially withdrawn from the race. While Holosim Season 1 Chapter 2 faced a short delay to migrate onto the Z.ink testnet, the team confirmed a new combat UI will be available upon its potential launch during this Wednesday’s Atlas Brew. Meanwhile, the Z.ink platform received stability patches and a revamped SAGE XP engine that now awards progression daily at 1 AM UTC to better reward meaningful gameplay over sub-warping. Behind the scenes, SAGE C4 testing has moved to the Z.ink testnet with a PTR release anticipated in weeks rather than months. Economic activity also saw the completion of 50 Mamba EX buy orders and the activation of renewed faction-specific ship redemption recipes. Finally, lore enthusiasts can look forward to a upcoming dedicated wiki and AI-driven background stories for tens of thousands of individual crew cards.
The Atlas Brew 193 from Star Atlas TV – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gm9VpwUYQnU
In the latest Atlas Brew (#103), developer Brad unveiled significant technical milestones for Project Galia, specifically highlighting a breakthrough in 3D planetary navigation for AI. This advancement enables complex on-planet surface activities, including bounty hunting at new “Mining Hot Spots” and combat encounters against significantly more challenging pirate AI. These systems are currently undergoing internal polishing, with long-term roadmaps including the integration of native planetary creatures. In community news, Super Phoenix Sports announced the “Star Shooter” arena tournament scheduled for March 1st at 4:00 PM EST, featuring a $250 USDC prize pool and a bracket challenge available at their official website. Additionally, the Super Phoenix DAO has released Atlas-Pay, a free, open-source payment gateway that allows community developers to accept ATLAS, POLIS, and USDC. Regarding ecosystem infrastructure, Jim confirmed that the Zync dashboard now supports direct account linking for Epic Games and Holo-Sim to streamline ZXP accumulation. Technical progress on the C4 front remains steady, with developers successfully testing a token bridge between Solana and the Zync testnet. Players should also note that Sage ZXP rewards have transitioned to a nightly batch processing system to improve economic stability.
