Greetings, Pilots!
This Galactic Vanguard Outpost Report is the development preview for the upcoming version 1.6 update. This time, we'll be introducing the new systems to be launched in the next version, including: Alliance fleets, corp purchase system upgrades, high-level exploration quests.
Alliance Fleets
In order to make it more convenient for alliance management to allocate Fleet Commanders, integrate the resources of each Corporation, and strengthen the communication and cooperation within each Alliance, we have upgraded the existing fleet functions in the game so that players can now broadcast to the Alliance fleet channel as needed.
Joining Alliance Fleets
After the version update, players can find fleets that have been broadcast to the Alliance Fleet list via the Alliance function and join them. In addition, members who are already in a fleet can easily publish their fleet link to their Corporation or Alliance chat channels using the share button, so that Alliance members who have not joined already can quickly find the fleet they're supposed to join.
Fleet Role Management
Although Alliance Fleets will operate via an open access system after the upgrade, this will not affect original fleet functions. In addition, the player who initially created the fleet will be able freely transfer the main fleet management positions to members from other Corporations. At the same time, as the Alliance administrators, Alliance Executives can manage the Alliance Fleet list, set Alliance Fleet broadcasting rules, and organize the Alliance fleet list.
Removing Fleet Broadcasts
The key points to take into consideration here are: Removing fleets from the Alliance Fleet list will not dissolve the fleet, nor will this affect the fleet link in the chat list. The removed fleet will not be announced in the Alliance Fleet list, and associated members and functions will not be affected.
Corp Purchase Upgrade
The Corp Purchase function is designed to help Corporations raise battle resources before a war. As the last stage of Corporation Compensation, effective Corp Purchases will directly determine whether a Corporation can withstand the losses incurred by its members as a result of war at a lower cost.
Linked Trading Posts
In the new version, we will upgrade the Corp Purchase function so that Corporations can purchase ships, weapons, ammo, and equipment from players across the server through the trading post. This will allow Corporations to set their own purchase prices, and at the same time, allow Corporations to purchase T3 materials.
After the update, a "orporation Order" page will be added to the trading post, where you'll be able to see Corporation purchase orders, as well as sales and purchase information. By utilizing this information, players will be able to see which commodities and resources Second Galaxy's biggest Corporations are in need of, better informing them when deciding whether to sell the related items to these Corporations in exchange for Gala.
Listing Process
Although the addition of purchase orders to the trading post will allow sellers to see buyers' demands, the basic listing process will remain the same. When you put an item up for sale, it will still appear in the list of items available for general purchase. When a player's listing price is lower than a Corporation's purchase price, their item will be matched with the Corporation's order and claimed by the Corporation.
High-Level Exploration Quests
Exploration quests have always been a popular part of the game, but at the same time, because the encrypted data caches obtained from this mode of gameplay can be traded at the trading post, this has led to a large number of players farming dozens or even hundreds of similar stages in a mechanical fashion repeatedly within a short space of time in order to obtain the resulting rewards. This experience is not what we intended to provide to you all.
Star Map Upgrade
To remedy this situation, we will launch a permanent event in the new version, enabling players to convert large quantities of basic encrypted data caches into new advanced encrypted data caches. We will simultaneously launch three new advanced exploration quest stages. By completing these stages, players will be able to obtain rewards that may have taken tens of minutes or even hours to obtain, all at once.
Speed and Skill Requirements
However, the key points to take into consideration when using this feature are: The new exploration quest stages will introduce more complex puzzle-solving elements, placing higher skill requirements on players who attempt them. Your performance and the time you take to complete these stages will affect your final clearance rating, as well as determining whether you can get additional rewards.
And thus concludes our first version 1.6 update preview! If you want to know more about the version 1.6 update, please stay tuned for the Official News!
