Server update, November 6 2023

By Hades' Star

Today we will be deploying a bug fix and economy tweak server update. No app update is necessary, but the incoming optional app update coming later this week is highly recommended to avoid issues noted below and other out of sync issues affecting certain players.

Changes:

  • Additional Crystals awarded to all existing accounts, to help with the Dark Nebula transition. Check your Inbox message. Long time players will be awarded more Crystals. We recommend spending the Crystals towards economy upgrades described in the upgrade guide: http://blog.hadesstar.com/2023/10/dark-nebula-upgrade-guide.html
  • Economy tweaks
    • Added additional free planet upgrades for certain accounts that were created pre-Dark Nebula
    •  Reduce build price for Battleship level 4 and over
    • Shipment drone: Maximum capacity increased
    • Shipment relay: Hydrogen prices decreased for Relay level 6 and lower
    • Starter pack 2 shipment bonus increased slightly 
    • Red Star level 11 Hydrogen costs decreased (scan & transport jump)
  • Active modules are disabled after jump to White Star
  • Cargo Repair in White Stars will no longer consume Relics that are still loading. (Time machine in out of date clients will incorrectly show that a loading Relic can be used for Cargo Repair. Make sure to update to the latest version of the app when it becomes available later this week.) 
  • Reduced requirements for Red Hydrogen achievement

Dark Nebula upgrade guide

By Hades' Star
Hades' Star: DARK NEBULA is the next update to Hades' Star. It will release later this year, completely replacing the current live version of Hades' Star. Your existing Hades' Star account will be transferred over to DARK NEBULA. Depending who you ask, DARK NEBULA is an identical clone of Hades' Star with slightly different graphics, a radically different game, or somewhere in between. All these viewpoints, coming from players who have experienced the original game with different patterns and over different timeframes, are correct.  If you are worried that things have changed too much, or the changes you saw or heard about in the Early Access builds are too overwhelming, this post is a good place to get started with Dark Nebula when it releases. Shipments and Yellow Star Economy Dark Nebula redesigns the shipment progression using the following principles:  1. With so many other diverse activities in the game, doing Shipments should be optional, especially at the ea...

By Hades' Star
Today's update includes economy tweaks, bug fixes and improvements to support the game's increasing player sizes. GENESIS: Hydrogen amount generated in Yellow Star increased for levels 7-13 Server support for manually flagging recommended Corporations.  Regular Corporation members can no longer view the Corporation's scheduled future Time Machine commands, unless they are participating in the White Star. Senior members and above will still see their Corporation's scheduled moves as before.  Empire Power thresholds reduced for regular (non Dark) Red Stars levels 5 and above. Rocket Drone: Fixed unintentional unlimited launch range, now has similar launch range to other Drone modules. Joining an abandoned Red Star will now fail (this is a temporary workaround for missing Artifacts in some Red Stars) Fixed TEAM PLAYER achievement not increasing after White Star ends Fixed wrong research Credit rewards for RS3 and RS4 artifacts. Fixed Upgrade Shipyard objective getting stuc...
