Last week was relatively light on news, but Holosim Chapter 2 continues to move full steam ahead, with near-daily patches rolling out from the team. Alongside that, two PIPs are currently open for you to vote on! Lastly, on a more somber note, the team lost some notable individuals due to recent cost-saving measures.

This week’s issue leans heavily toward economics and governance. The newly selected Econ Vantarah group has already begun its work, the latest Economic Forum introduced several upcoming adjustments to OMO pricing and crafting plans, and DAO voting delivered a clear outcome on PIP-26. Alongside that, Michael shared candid updates on release progress, team morale, and the financial realities behind recent decisions.

This week brought a steady stream of updates across the Star Atlas ecosystem. First of all, the Atlas Brew centered on the upcoming Galia Game Mode overhaul, set to begin rolling out right before Christmas. The team walked the community through early footage and new mechanics, highlighting the progression systems and tutorials that will arrive with this update. On the governance side, Council Elections for Term 3 are entering their final campaign week, and three active PIPs remain open for voting—two of which close tomorrow. Lastly, Danny shared a snapshot of ATMTA’s product stack, the first Iris’ Blessing raffle winners were announced, and a new Abu Dhabi meetup was confirmed for December 12th, coinciding with Solana Breakpoint.

This week brought plenty of developments across both SAGE and Holosim. In SAGE, crafting fees were reduced, ship recipes returned, and Loyalty Point rewards were adjusted. Holosim Chapter 1 came to a close with ONI taking the crown, but not without its share of technical hurdles. Chapter 2 promises major changes to address them. Finally, governance proposal PIP-19 remains open for voting, and we have the latest dev log posts from Chip.

Star Atlas Summer has officially wrapped up! The third and final Town Hall of the summer took place this past week, closing the season on a high note with a wide range of updates. For the first time, UE5 has been tied into the SAGE economy through a new earnable resource, INK, marking a major step in unifying the game’s experiences. To celebrate, the team hosted a Double XP (and double INK) weekend, giving players an early taste of this new system. At the same time, the team’s home-brewed SAGE Editor Suite was released to the public, allowing everyone to experiment with the tools and mechanics that will define SAGE C4 when it arrives on PTR later this year. Additionally, the team introduced Phantom Starbases to Starbase, shared the roadmap for Holosim, released a new UE5 patch, and launched Star Frame, the team’s brand-new open-source Solana framework set to replace Anchor.

Rather than rehashing the Town Hall itself, the focus here is on the additional insights and clarifications that followed, shared in the Foundation Room and during the Economic Forum. Meanwhile, a highly contentious PIP is nearing the end of its voting window!
