One week remaining till the Hive race launches!
Simulation Mode Updated with all Four Races
In the meantime, the Simulation mode opens access to all four races, in which one can play with friends in a free for all, or solo challenge in multiple configurations. If you wanted to get a taste of Hive ships and how they play, you can do so through the skirmish mode.
Any combination of ships/combat you can think of is possible in skirmish now.

What would happen if a Ma'Alaketh Archon heavy cruiser met a Greater Hive Entity in a Sol Sector defended by Sol battlestations?
Character/Race Selection Screen Updated

With all four races being available for players to choose from in the upcoming server, the server selection screen has been remodeled and updated. You will not be able to choose Hive just yet, not until Friday the 17th.
Miscellaneous bug fixes/Additions
-Players can no longer do the 'scanner power drop cheat' where they can boost their power a little bit by dropping scanners under the base of 4 to juice up an extra few power points.
-New Ma'Alaketh players now have a much larger selection of avatars to choose from, both in standard and premium mode.
-Some additional behind the scenes work for Hive in preparation for its launch next week.
