changedToday, we're sharing progress on optimizations and gameplay updates focused on the Encounter Zone experience. Our core goal is to enhance the depth and variety within these zones, tackling underutilized space while improving how information is delivered to players. This means enabling quicker understanding of the environment and decision-making upon entering an Encounter Zone. This work is ongoing, and we plan to validate its effectiveness by building several representative Encounter Zones.
addedSignificant adjustments have been made to the encounter mechanics . Points of Interest within Encounter Zones now support multiple encounter events , and some encounters can exist independently of specific points. We've also introduced a new encounter classification system , which lays the groundwork for layered information display on the map interface.
changedCombat encounters have seen several key refinements. Basic combat now features pre-spawned enemy units , and we've added three new dynamic encounter types : Reinforcement Units spawning after a delay, Ambush Units triggered by player actions, and interactive Raid Targets like neutral freighters with their escort fleets. Outside of combat, these freighters and escorts now use a streamlined formation system for coordinated movement. Importantly, all enemy units now exhibit basic idle movement , so they no longer stand idle waiting for players. The combat reward system has also been rebuilt around physical entity drops .
addedOther updates include the introduction of new mining and localized resource collection gameplay , along with selecting a specific Encounter Zone as a testbed for visual environment improvements . Finally, to address information overload, the HUD system has been overhauled to dynamically scale information intensity based on target distance and player focus, significantly reducing interface noise .
