Hello everyone! Welcome to the 248th issue of the RoVerse Development Newsletter, where we keep you updated on the progress we've made over the past week. We are proud to announce the beginning of the 2021 RoVerse Community Egg Hunt! From now until the 15th of May, try and collect all 11 eggs across all aspects of RoVerse - from dangerous faction bases, to the perilous dogfight, to the furthest horizons of daedalus. Some of the eggs this year are quite tricky, so we'll be releasing hints as the event progresses, to help you figure out exactly how to earn the eggs, and unlock the event-exclusive ship. This week in the dogfight there were 979 kills, 10 with auto, 0 with beam, 53 with laser, 22 with plasma, 20 with railgun, and 874 with torpedo. The most dangerous ship was the VSa1-1_Kazan with 654 kills, followed by the Silencer with 164. The most dangerous map was Blue_Spaceway with 413 deaths, followed by The_Great_Hollow with 344. And now, the moment you've been waiting for... The three players that topped the leaderboard were FangABXY, with 724 kills and 11 deaths and a 65.81 KDR; tygrys202 with 149 kills, 2 deaths and a 74.5 KDR; and SabineWrenDemo with 56 kills, 48 deaths, and a 1.16 KDR. They have unlocked an exclusive ship in the Alpha Dogfight. Nice work pilots! If you'd like to check out the rest of our data, you can find the spreadsheet here: Phase 1 Data (Week 92) Calexian Community Challenge Before the end of Cycle 13, the community must strive to complete the following two challenges to unlock a Calexian ship for all to use. Gatecrash points were well short of the mark, but a few good rounds should see us catch up. Flight distance was also short, but I'm sure our experienced pilots will be able to make it happen. The challenges are: 1000 Gatecrash points, and 3,000,000 studs flown. Each week we compile a Q&A section here whenever there are any new questions posted on the RoVerse Community group wall or in the Community Discord Server. Be sure to join if you have any questions about RoVerse: ROBLOX Group: https://www.roblox.com/My/Groups.aspx?gid=2948290 Discord server: https://discord.gg/npxBGwJ Q1: Will we have access to event ships in Freeroam? A1: While your purchases likely won't carry over, the availability of blueprints for event ships you've unlocked will work just fine. The special event ships and their skins will be available to build and purchase in the same way any default ship is purchased at a neutral station hangar. Q2: What sorts of alliances can we cook up, like a co-equal alliance of factions? Will we have to make sure our workers don't attack each other? Can we set special prices for each other on things automatically, or would we have to do it manually? A2: We hope to support a variety of alliances and faction relations in-game. More than the website with just allies or enemies. We should be able to make it clear who you're allied with in-game, so that your security forces don't accidentally obliterate an allies forces transiting a system. You should be able to set up a great alliance of equal factions, especially since you all are setting that up now. Unusual power structures that show up later are less likely to be supported, but if you give us warning we can make sure it works. You should be able to configure alliances to allow discounts on products or services, and we'd want the stats to be available to you to see if its not excessively unbalanced in one direction or the other, that one faction is getting much more out of the discounts than the other way around, so you can negotiate. Subfactions have been merged into the overarching category of 'Organizations' and aren't necessarily tied directly to a faction anymore. They will require building a HQ base or Outpost, so they will be a bit of work to make. With that in mind, making a subfaction of a subfaction wouldn't really be any different than just making two subfactions. The membership and relationships are up to you. If the size ends up fairly small, perhaps just organizing squads in discord or something would be more your speed. You can support us by joining our Community Group or Discord server! So far, the community has been absolutely amazing, supportive, and very friendly. We are very appreciative of all the support you guys show us! If you want to catch any of our developers streaming, you can always follow our official Twitch channel here! Remember, we are always looking for new, talented builders, scripters and artists! If you’d like to help us you can always get in touch with us through RoVerse_Official on the ROBLOX website, or by contacting an Administrator in the community Discord! Don’t worry, we don’t bite!
