The past week brought us major developments across both UE5 and SAGE Labs. The May UE5 Patch is now live, introducing dedicated servers for Gunplay, co-op dogfighting, and improved multiplayer features, though a few game-breaking bugs were introduced as well. In SAGE Labs, the team rolled out the first phase of food consumption and crafting updates, with more balance changes expected soon. A new approach to FIC refills is also in the works. Meanwhile, two DAO proposals—one for local meetups and another supporting Eveeye—are nearing the end of their voting period.

The second Council Election has wrapped, revealing the community-elected members who will help guide the DAO over the next nine months. While some familiar faces return, three new members are stepping in to claim a seat. A new Roadmap update has also landed, introducing exciting additions to the upcoming Preseason. The Q1 2025 Economic Report is now live, offering insights into ATLAS trends, the impact of fleet rentals, and the effects of the Golden Carnival event. We’ve also got highlights from Economic Forum #11, where the team discussed upcoming changes to Faction Infrastructure Contracts, a new XXS ship crafting recipe, and rental score updates. On top of that, a newly published article outlines Star Atlas’s bold vision for a decentralized cybernation. And, of course, April Fools’ Day brought a few laughs with some playful announcements from the team.

Last week was an action-packed one! StarComm V2 went live in SAGE—though not without its challenges, as many players experienced disruptions.

The past week saw the first Golden Carnival raffle of the 2624 season! Meanwhile, ticket submissions for this second week have opened up. More newsworthy, we feel, however, are the reveals on upcoming gameplay from the economic team. If you want to learn more about Local Markets and RFRs, then look no further! Otherwise, not much has happened, so we’ll keep this one short and to the point.

Last week started off quietly, but everything changed when the team launched the much-anticipated Golden Carnival on Friday! This exciting, 16-week-long event easily took center stage, and as a result—and lack of other news— this week’s issue is almost entirely dedicated to all things Carnival!

We had another quiet post-IMPACT week regarding Star Atlas news. We received a new Economic Report for Q3 of 2024, and an interesting Economic Forum session followed up on that this past Thursday. The DAO Council elections are also going strong, with the voting deadline coming up this Friday! Finally, we wrap this issue up with a follow-up of last week’s dialogue regarding community concerns. This time, Michael (CEO) stepped in to shed some light on the various topics. Though it’s a long read, we feel it is worth sharing with you!
