Asked, whether ships will be faction-agnostic(not limited to a single faction), Bunthius, CPO of the Star Atlas, told members of the exclusive Foundation Channel on the Star Atlas Discord: “Yes, primarily it’s just for expanded universe lore info. But when manufacturing new ships, the blueprints rewarded will likely be tied to the faction region the player is leveling up their ship manufacturing license. But that will come much later when full ship crafting comes online.”



Weekly Star Atlas Newsletter #98
We had a big week last week, with the launch of the new StarPath V2 referral system and the release of the very first SAGE iteration: SAGE Labs! Meanwhile, a lot of players have jumped into Labs, and though there are some show-stopping bugs (at least for some), it looks like most people react favorably to it.
Besides this, the 2nd Photography concluded, ATLAS Prime went live as well (as part of Labs), and we’ve got the latest on the first Golden Ticket raffle.
