Santi and Michael are hosting this very last Townhall of the year!
Skin Airdrop
The year 2022 had ups and downs. Today SCORE is celebrating its 1-year-old anniversary!
To show appreciation to the community for sticking with the team through everything and to celebrate SCORE’s birthday, the team is dropping 3 different Pearce X4 skins later today. The skins you’ll receive are based on the number of days you have enlisted ships in Faction Fleet:
- 7+ Days enlisted: Suntiger Pearce X4 Skin
- 150+ Days enlisted: RedX-IV Pearce X4 Skin
- 300+ Days enlisted: Blue Tigu Pearce X4 Skin
Best Graphics
Star Atlas has won the Best Graphics prize in the PolkastarterGG Game3 Awards!

SAGE
Big release today: The SAGE Game Manual (Big shout-out to Chip & Mo!)
SAGE is absolutely leading-edge, pioneering, on-chain game design.
– Michael
People will be able to build 3rd party services for the 6 programs that power SAGE on-chain.
The team is now targeting February for the devnet launch. However, it will likely be limited and might not contain all the announced functionality.
Showroom R2
Big release today: R2 will be released on the Epic Game Store right after the Joni Awards wrap-up!
Michael mentioned some of the things we can expect from this release:
- Character selections & Skin selection
- Two different Time trial courses
- Dogfighting arena (PvE)
- Multiplayer support is there, but still very buggy.
Good to know: Multiplayer sessions are Peer-2-per hosted experiences (no servers, players are hosting)
The upcoming R2.1 will bring:
- Upgrade to Unreal Engine 5.1 (allows for larger maps)
- Adding the train (lobby of sorts). The first arrival in the Showroom will then drop you at the Train station.
- Group Chat & Proximity Voice Chat
- A possibility that Ground racing may be added
Major thank you to the community for being with us through the thick and thin [of this year]!
– Michael
