Hive Wins the Tarantula Server
In 66 days, the Hive managed to take out all three opposing homeworlds of Earth, Saneth, and Do'Oran. Quite surprisingly, there were more Hive players than expected on the server, even more than the Hive PvE before it. Partly thanks to player MagicSpaceCow, he was a great teacher and mentor to new players coming in as Hive. Many of them like Swarm_ott, Haven, Plasmodius, Vostok, Ein_Neko joined veterans like Cow and Cimex to aggressively dominate the server. Admittedly, Hive was somewhat overpowered, and next server will bring in adjustments in line with other races.
Genari was the first to break (Even though they were the first to launch a Battleship), but Sol held the Hive wave back for a long time before Earth collapsed. Because Ma'Alaketh was the furthest away from the Hive's Reach, they were the last to be taken down, and the server ended when Ma'Al's massive Dyson Sphere was destroyed.
Upcoming Antares Server starts on Thursday
Antares server will start after 4pm EST on Thursday, it will be a four faction PvP with the following adjustments:
Hive
-All plasma launchers, and plasma waves now cost 1:1 power ratio, aka. cost more to arm than before (exception Class III and IV organisms).
-Slight reduction in mind strength with high tier organisms (Class VII-X)
-Slight reduction in regeneration with bloated organisms as well as some high tier.
Sol & Genari
-Sol/Gen Battleships and Dreadnoughts (Class IX, X) have been improved to increase the interest in achieving them and making them more resilient. This is so that the choice between two Heavy Cruisers and a higher tier is more lucrative.
-Genari Station missiles have longer range and accuracy
Ma'Alaketh
-Shadow Ships class IV and higher are now less expensive.
-Ma'alaketh Defense Stations now have two more particle beams.
Itching to play Spacewars? Well the newbie server is open until Antares opens on Thursday.
