Migration to PAnet was completed on 2019-05-20 with build 113298. Hello Commanders, We all know machines are superior to organics, yet they’re only as good as the hardware underpinning them. You know this, we know this, which is why upgrading the game’s server infrastructure has been such an important goal for us. The road has been long, the struggle real, and we are finally migrated to (drum roll please)… PAnet. Oooooo, literal chills. Uh, I mean, bleep bloop, fellow machine. PAnet (Planetary Annihilation Network) is our replacement for UberNet and provides all the backend infrastructure for managing game servers and player accounts. It has faster servers for better sim speed, more regions for lower latency, and higher capacity servers. TITANS 1v1 ranked season 2 came to a close at the end of April. It was hard fought for a while with Uber #1 changing hands multiple times. But as the dust settled a clear victor emerged in NikolaMX, a good 100 points clear of the nearest competition. Should the Progenitors return we know who they will want as their leader. With season 2 over we surprised everyone with a transition to a season that was one digit higher. Four maps from season 2 have returned, along with 12 entirely new maps, courtesy of WPMarshall. The lessons of season 2 have been applied and we think you’ll find these maps a big upgrade. Ranks were wiped clean and it’s anyone's game to win once more. AI performance has been improved and its impact on the server decreased. In addition, we have again put a big focus on eliminating known sources of client and server crashes. We even did a thing with the updating of the toolchain so they have higher version numbers, and we all know higher version numbers are better, right?

with what available resources? how would that expansion look like? even for "just" a new faction it could take easily a year or more to get that out ..
I'd prefer to see system editor improvements... it's fairly limited in scope right now (even with the current mods) and kind of buggy.
what do you mean by limited in scope? as in what improvements are you speaking of? personaly i would like more symetryoptions at the least .. and some reclaimables that fit with the biomes as well as editable reclaim ..
Well that's part of it... you can't add much detail to planets, and you're assets are locked to the planet type. I know you can copy/paste them to another world, but that's a little silly. I could go much more in detail if and when the dev team decides it's something they will work on. But I don't want to turn this thread into a wishlist.
Good to see some attempted shakeup in the naval game! I suspect more work will be needed to make it more polished and balanced, but that will just take some time.
Didn't see in patchnotes (perhaps one of the recent patches? Or someone added it in a mod I've got installed?) but seems the Galactic War faction colours have been tweaked Now factions are Blue, Purple, Green & Red which is great, no more too-close Red/Orange Topping it off the sub-Commanders actually get differentiated shades.
I am trying to contact with the support to get my 100$ bounty, but I get no answer. Dont I have to open a ticket? or is there other contact?
Pize received, it has been really gratifying. I love being awarded for playing PA. Thankyou very much, team.
