Hey Travelleroonies,
In case you missed last night's AMA stream, HAVE NO FEAR!
A lot of important things were covered, and not everyone likes to watch videos (or has an hour to sit through it) - Bossa Fureniku did a write up of the entire thing!
If you do want to catch up with it...
You can watch the stream here, if you prefer. Stream starts at 00:21:12
FULL write up post can be found here: https://www.worldsadrift.com/forums/topic/todays-ama-announcement-stream-lag-issues-pve-and-more/

The DL;DR sum-up, ignoring all the questions asked (that can be found in the above post), is two things:
LAG
the lag is an ongoing issue that we are investigating. We would appreciate feedback and reports from players - you can either report in the Discord server (there's a special channel for it), or send in a support ticket
PvE Servers are coming!
This is a big announcement, and there's a lot of questions about it. I advise reading the AMA if you're confused or have questions, as they may already be answered. The biggest questions, summed up:
I thought this wasn't possible?
We can't turn off the physics. People could still ram your ship, or drop panels on you. However, pistol and cannon damage will do nothing to players and their ships, and you can't salvage enemy ships.
But this is a PvP game!
This is true. But, there's a lot of people out there who don't enjoy the game because of the constant PvP threat, or haven't even bought the game because of this. By no means are we leaving the PvP crew behind, but merely expanding so that more people can enjoy the game.
