What changed
- Server
NEW SERVER: Mercury II
New Server with all for races accessible under normal win conditions: Sol Imperial Worlds, Genari United Empire, Ma'Alaketh Confederation, and the Perseus Hive. Some of you veteran players who stick to the same race every time, should try other races and enjoy the flavor and variety of each... you never know you might find a new favorite!
Sol Imperial Worlds: The 'jack of all trades' good at all, best at none, always the most popular to new players. Easiest to learn and play.
Genari United Empire: Brutishly strong, tough ships, but behind on technology. Usually the strongest out of the gate, and can dominate early.
Ma'Alaketh Confederation: The most advanced in technology, with some of the most powerful ships in the game. But more difficult to master.
Perseus Hive: The most difficult race to start with, but best played with good allies. Arguably the strongest race if allowed to break the confines of its region in the long run.
Free Peoples' of Sol: Adapting technology from both Sol and Genari, as well as stolen Ma'Alaketh material, they are pirates that take no sides and are capable of infiltrating deep into enemy territory undetected.
SPACE WARS STORIES
Steam post imageOver time, there will be individual short films representing intro and outtro stories for all five factions. It allows the Space Wars lore and ships to be seen as original Sci-Fi on Youtube. Currently there are only two Stories professionally done and on the channel (Genari's victory outtro):

Yes, its movies created with the help of AI, but each cell is handcrafted and anywhere from dozens to hundreds of generations are animated just to get it right. And the music is obviously not AI generated. These short films take several months to create and still require original spacewars artwork to create. The stories represent the beginning and end stories of each race that was originally shown in-game in short, 'cartoon' like animation.
