Hello everyone!

I’ve got some exciting updates to share with you all about some changes on the team!

First off, Thank you to Erek for announcing that I’ve been promoted to Game Admin! Over the past several months (...perhaps longer), I’ve been working closely with the Dev and Quest Teams while balancing the support side of my Asim duties. Now, I’ll be joining Kyle (RIP), Arjuna, and Erek (Supes/Superman) on the Admin team! Arjuna will continue handling Galaxy Direction, Erek will focus on Game Design, Kyle will continue to be MIA, and I’ll be taking on the role of Implementation Director. I’ll still be closely involved with the Dev and Quest Teams, just as I have been, and I’m always here to help with support issues if needed, but otherwise the Asims are in excellent hands with Noctis, Chupa, Kodkod, and Koi at the helm, so feel free to reach out to them as well! You can find the full list of team members on the Team Members Page.

Along with this new role, I’ll be helping to develop and refine a Dev Roadmap for public release. This roadmap will outline our long-term goals and the steps we’re taking to get there, as well as answer any questions the dev team has about the way forward. Once it’s finalized, we’ll share it via Sim News so you’ll know exactly what to expect in the future.

Lastly, a quick heads-up about some upcoming changes to Ships and Stations. We’re almost ready to finalize these updates, but since they’ll impact RM costs(including the long awaited introduction of Nova to stations with concussions or porton-torpedoes), we want to make sure you have enough time to prepare. Consider this your (no less than)2-week notice that RM costs for Ships and Stations will change for any constructions after the stats update. Weapons and Damage Modifiers will likely be changing this weekend. The finalized list isn’t ready yet, but once it is, I’ll share it with you in a detailed Sim News post. Some RM costs will increase, some will decrease, and the same goes for RMP. If you’re concerned about the changes, I recommend boosting your stockpiles by about 25% for stations and 10% for ships.

[Edit to add that we will be removing some med rooms from the CR-92 Battle Corvette, Nova-class Battlecruiser, Kandosii, ISD, Battle Dragon, Acclamator, Home One, and SSD to bring us in line with the R&D Master Plan.]

That’s all for now! A huge thanks to everyone in the SWC Administration, past and present, for their support in getting me to this point. It’s a pleasure to serve this amazing community, and I’m always open to your feedback on how we can keep improving.

As always, if you have any questions or need support, don’t hesitate to reach out on our Discord Server or by Submitting a Support Ticket.

Thanks!
