October server update

By Hades' Star
Expected deployment: October 9-12

This is a server side update to the game. No app update is necessary. There will be a short maintenance while the update is being deployed.


Changes: 



  • Red Star level 7-10 generation is tweaked to reduce the chance of too easy or too hard systems
  • Hydrogen stored on Asteroids is increased for yellow stars that have more than 50% of sectors revealed, and for Red Stars level 7+
  • Threshold for gaining influence has been adjusted for Red Stars level 4 and over
    • Red Star Level 4-6: Minimum threshold to gain influence is the same, but the requirement to gain the maximum 50 influence is increased
    • Red Star Level 7-10: Both minimum and maximum thresholds to gain influence have been decreased, with Red Star level 10 getting the most significant decrease
  • Maximum influence that can be gained from Red Star level 7 and over has been increased
    • Red Star 7: Up to 7 000 influence
    • Red Star 8: Up to 10 000 influence
    • Red Star 9: Up to 12 500 influence
    • Red Star 10: Up to 16 000 influence
