Second Transmission: Charting the Dark
A look at where Beltholm stands after five busy weeks
Second Transmission
It's been quiet on this channel since August. The build hasn't been. More has changed in the last five weeks than in the six months before them. Here is an overview of the current major systems (or is it?), and what's been happening with them.
The galaxy starts dark
Last time we left you staring into the Void. It's still out there, and we will leave that as a mystery for now (Sorry!).
The galaxy has been overhauled and expanded, this formed part of a major balance pass to ensure the longevity of the game
Mining
We have doubled down on the exploration and discovery, players now need to scan or travel to an asteroid belts, planets, or moon to discover what riches they contain. Venture into further, more dangerous system, and who knows what riches could be lying in wait.
Security
Space is getting less safe. A new class of ship has entered the ranks which is more suited to be kitted out for combat. Protect your haulers, or pray on those attempting to smuggle high value loot across the system.
Trade
Our player driven market has undergone a major transformation to allow for a whole new class of industry.
Building together
Corporations in a region can now pool their materials into shared developments, to unlock new content for all. And earn rewards based on contribution to the cause.
New player experience
New commanders also get a guide that shows you the controls as you go, of course you can skip it if you prefer.
Reserve your name
You can now reserve your corporation name on the waitlist ahead of launch. If there's a name you want, now's the time.
More soon. Transmission ends.
