Hi Galactic Survivalists!
With update 1.8.5 we have not only fixed numerous bugs and added new features (see changelog below!).
With 'Stranded at Nemesis' we have also added a new scenario for you to play and have fun with. This is specifically a small survival challenge that we would like to offer you as a change: You start on a destroyed UCH ship and have the task to rejoin the fleet. How you do that is up to you, because there are several possible ways. ;) We are curious to see how you master the challenge! Please use the following feedback thread: https://empyriononline.com/threads/scenario-stranded-at-nemesis-survival-challenge.100395/
We are looking forward to your feedback - on the scenario and on further updates!
