This week’s update brings a clearer look at where both Holosim and SAGE C4 are heading. The team continues to rework combat responsiveness in Holosim while also teasing upcoming marketplace and drone systems. The biggest news by far, however, is that work is being performed on introducing regional governance for SAGE C4. Beyond that, the first five players for the inaugural Embercoil campaign have now officially been selected.

Last week, we got our first glimpse of Ship Configurations in the upcoming SAGE C4. Meanwhile, in Holosim, the Superphoenix event went live, giving players their first chance over the past few days to take on the ECOS Titan ship. On the governance side, PIP-31 opened to fund Star Seekers 2 and will remain open for voting for two weeks. Lastly, applications are now open for players looking to take a seat at the table in the first official Embercoil RPG campaign.

This week, the team kept tuning Chapter 2 of Holosim at a relentless pace, showed off the new UI for SAGE C4 footage, and published a fresh quarterly Economic Report. In addition, there was a last-minute surprise Economic Forum, two governance votes finalized, and some good and bad news on the lore side.

This week is all about steady progress rather than big headlines. Holosim Chapter 2 still hasn’t launched, but it’s clearly getting close, with core systems like the new Combat UI and zProfile integration falling into place. Meanwhile, UE5 development continues to expand the Galia experience, z.ink ticks off a key milestone, and DAO voting is heading toward its conclusion.

This week’s issue brings a mix of delay, progress, and governance in motion. Holosim Chapter 2 did not launch as planned, but that extra time did allow additional improvements to land. Meanwhile, DAO voting is underway for both the inaugural DAO Casters program and José’s temporary funding proposal. The Z.ink Profile received stability and XP updates, and SAGE C4 testing continues to move forward behind the scenes.

This week’s issue is headlined by the launch of Holosim Chapter 2 later this week, the free-to-play Star Atlas browser game. Alongside that, SAGE C4 development has hit a major milestone, new ship recipes and a buyback program are expected to launch any day now, zProfile bug fixes are on the way, a fresh UE5 patch is live, and a few interesting sneak peeks round out the issue.

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.

The past week saw an Atlas Brew focused on z.ink and Holosim, and an Economic Forum centered on the first OMO results. While this provided some news, we also gathered additional updates from the DAO and the latest UE5 patch notes. Lastly, we look at an older Discord conversation with Michael (CEO) about the team’s financial situation, before wrapping up with some strong new sneak peeks.

The team is back after their two-week holiday break, which means our weekly coverage of Star Atlas news is officially resuming. As is often the case at the start of the year, it’s been a relatively quiet week. Still, there are a few updates worth catching up on: a roadmap from the community team (that we annotated), the start of a new chapter for the DAO Council, and a handful of smaller notes around Fleet Rentals, the Econ Vantarah, and more.
