Hello fellow Stargazers!

This is a message to all of you explaining our upcoming update.

Admin Factions/Planets & Lore:
There will be four main admin "factions". These factions would governing forces, but they would also keep to themselves on their planets.
Each Admin Faction would get one planet each, lead by the admin who governs over that faction. These planets will have special missions that the leaders decide, but also have special loot.
Each admin planet will be Crystal Rich, but also different in biome. Each Planet will be PvP, and the orbits surrounding it will be as well.
Each faction will have lore, which will have an affect on gameplay. One key feature about Admin Factions, is that they will go to war with eachother, with no stops. Although, Admins can not raid and attack in PvP, unless people enter their orbit, or unless it is on another admin planet.
	The Four Factions:
		Time-Lords | Gallifrey - Lead by: Shadow - A legend retold, Gallifrey will fall no more. This faction is based on the hit TV Show Doctor Who, but is also going to be a Crystal Rich Desert. Gallifrey falls no more.
			CEC| Aegis VII - Lead by: Noodle -
			???| 	       - Lead by: Fortis -
 			???| 	       - Lead by: Step   -
	Lore: A long, long time ago, before the major re-colonization of the galaxy (insertnamehere), there were a group of five people. Their names were Neo.Corricon, Shadow, Noodle2k, Fortis, and Steppers. They had all been on the ship, the (insertnamehere), on course to a new planet in hyperdrive when suddenly a giant flash came from the center of their known universe wiping all life as they knew it out.
	Due to the cosmic energy, along with their already engaged lightspeed, a warphole opened up releasing them into this new galaxy. They all decided to split up and explore, and they decided to create their own factions, at the ends of this new galaxy. After they built up their planets, people started flooding in with their own warpdrives, but it was too late, as these men had created powerful factions
	and alone claimed planets. Although they all split up, Neo decided to be a lone traveler through this world and be the diplomat and overseer of the universe itself, and not create a faction. Although, the ones who did build up their power and created the four main factions, became rulers of the known galaxy.

Admin-Ran Market & Auction:
We've decided we're going to sell some commodities that aren't normally sold. We're going to start selling some pre-made ships, saving you time but costing you a bit more in credits.
We are also going to have an auction once a month, and possibly once a week. The auction would be for a ship or a base, but those would have perks to it that you normally couldn't get without working very hard, or at all.

Lowering Overpopulation:
Sadly there is only a few ways to lower the overpopulation problems. Those are to limit the amount of cores players and faction can have.
Those will be based on member count:
Bases:
1-5 members = 1 base
5-8 members = 2 bases
8+  members = 3 bases
SV:
1-3 = 2 SV's
4-5 members = 3 SV's
6-10+ = 5 SV's
CV:
1-5 = 1 CV
5-8 = 2 CV
8+  = 3 CV
HV:
1-3 = 2 HV's
4-5 members = 3 HV's
6-10+ = 5 HV's

Players who are alone, are stuck with the "1" tag on all of those.

We will also give incentives for people to spread out, resource wise. Like increasing difficulty on overpopulated planets.
We are also trying to figure out how to create a way for constant drone waves so people are forced to repair.


About the new Map:
The new map is highly different from the old one. There will be a whole new plethora of planets, all renamed, none of the old ones. This map will have a lower number of playfeilds. I know what you're saying, "But won't that increase the overpopulation issue?". Please hang on and listen, it really won't. Not all planets will not have moons, or comets, which will lower it. Most of the space on many moons are not taken,
as well as there are a few planets currently vacant or on the lower end in population in use in our current map anyhow. We lowered some of the warping distances/requirements as well.

Changes to Rules:
Because of this large update, many rules will change.
