Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #232 from Aephia – https://aephia.com/star-atlas/weekly-star-atlas-newsletter-232/

Star Atlas has launched the SAGE C4 open beta on the Public Test Realm (PTR), running on the newly live z.ink public testnet. This milestone update introduces a Solana-to-z.ink bridge and a claims portal preview, which outlines a 180-day vesting schedule (with 5% claimable immediately) ahead of the mainnet genesis event expected in three to four months. In parallel, a major Unreal Engine 5 Galia update is now live on Epic, introducing spherical-surface AI navigation, planetary boss battles, stealth mechanics, Minky Steer hunting, and enhanced ocean rendering. Meanwhile, Holosim zXP gains officially concluded on May 30. For DAO participants, voting on PIP-32 remains open until June 11, proposing 13.5 million ATLAS to fund a community-led esports tournament. Finally, a two-week promotional sale is currently active, offering the new VZUS arma ($81) and Calico Flattop ($3,050) ships alongside Cultivation Claims (ranging from $15 to $1,970) that can be utilized in SAGE C4 and Faction Claims to generate R4 resources.

In the latest Star Atlas community town hall, developers and players celebrated the successful launch of the C4 Public Test Realm (PTR) to the wider community. Technical lead John highlighted rapid development progress, with forty build updates deployed last week (moving from build 4811 to 4851) to address initial testing feedback. Out of 125 bug reports submitted, the team identified 53 unique issues, achieving a 20% closure rate with nine fully resolved and 27 additional fixes marked as implemented. Key gameplay discussions focused on testing simplified crafting recipe layers, end-to-end scanning mechanics, and future integrations like combat enhancements and NPC control via the Nemesis engine. On the governance front, PIP-32—the proposal for the Star Atlas Triad Tournament—is currently passing with a 72% approval rate, though it remains roughly 5 million PVP short of its target threshold. Players are encouraged to participate in testing on sage.staratlas.com, submit bug reports via the public tracker, and cast their DAO votes before the upcoming server reset, which is anticipated in one to two weeks.
