Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #223 from Aephia – https://aephia.com/star-atlas/weekly-star-atlas-newsletter-223/

Star Atlas development accelerated this past week as Holosim Chapter 2 received five critical updates, most notably version 1.2.17, which successfully closed combat cooldown exploits related to starbase docking and fleet repairs. Project Manager John provided a tentative roadmap for the season: Part 1 concludes on April 5, followed by Part 2 from April 6 to May 3, which is expected to introduce limited crew purchase packs capped at 243 units. Looking further ahead, Chapter 3 is slated for a summer release featuring scanning mechanics that will replace the current SDU system as a primary gameplay loop. On the governance front, two key proposals, PIP-29 and PIP-30, remain open for voting until the end of day UTC on April 1. PIP-30, regarding ATOM Cloud infrastructure funding, has seen a significant reversal and now leads with a narrow 59.3% majority. Additionally, a major technical correction was implemented for z.ink subscriptions; a long-standing bug that swapped Alpha and Aura multipliers has been fixed, resulting in the retroactive adjustment of millions of zXP and recalculated airdrop progress. These updates prioritize economic stability and refined combat mechanics as the community prepares for the next phase of progression.

Atlas Brew #198 – C4 PTR, Holosim, New Achievements & RPG Systems! from Star Atlas TV – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEy84_tKeX8

This week’s Atlas Brew #198 delivered a comprehensive look at the Star Atlas ecosystem’s next evolution, headlined by a gameplay reveal of the C4 Public Test Realm (PTR) and its revamped Starbase UI. Built on the new Starframe architecture, this update targets significantly improved transaction reliability and performance over the previous Anchor-based system. Beyond technical milestones, the team introduced *Embercoil: The Conquest of the Sealed City*, a proprietary tabletop RPG system that expands the Arkhant lore through unique species-based mechanics rather than traditional classes. In the immediate gameplay loop, SAGE Labs’ HoloSim is receiving a mid-season combat update featuring over 300 new achievements. Critical balancing changes are also live, including a massive shift in ship repair economics; repair costs at starbases have been adjusted to roughly 80% of a ship’s purchase price, making specialized ships like the Evac and MedTech lines essential for efficient fleet maintenance. Finally, the upcoming Super Phoenix event was detailed, utilizing a recurring 11-hour quest cycle to ensure global participation. Community members are encouraged to join the Lore Keepers’ Discord to participate in RPG playtesting and monitor the HoloSim channel for finalized combat achievement criteria.
