New galaxies launched

As part of the Early Access release, two new galaxies have just been launched and are ready for you to join right now: Skirmish 1 and Main 1.

New players : you’ll be able to join the Skirmish 1 galaxy immediately and the Main 1 galaxy after unlocking access to it by colonizing 7 planets in the Skirmish 1 galaxy.

: you’ll be able to join the galaxy immediately and the galaxy after unlocking access to it by colonizing 7 planets in the Skirmish 1 galaxy. Existing players : if you’ve already unlocked the Main slot by colonizing 7 planets in the Pre-Beta galaxy, you’ll be able to join the Main 1 galaxy right away (as well as the Skirmish 1 galaxy if you choose to do so). If you upgrade by purchasing an Early Access copy, you’ll continue playing through your existing account, so if you’ve already unlocked the Main slot you won’t need to do so again after upgrading. All future galaxies will only be available to owners of an Early Access copy.

: if you’ve already unlocked the Main slot by colonizing 7 planets in the Pre-Beta galaxy, you’ll be able to join the Main 1 galaxy right away (as well as the Skirmish 1 galaxy if you choose to do so). If you upgrade by purchasing an Early Access copy, you’ll continue playing through your existing account, so if you’ve already unlocked the Main slot you won’t need to do so again after upgrading. All future galaxies will only be available to owners of an Early Access copy. The Veteran game slot will be unlocked once enough Early Access owners have unlocked access to it (at the moment you need to score 100k points on the ‘Grand Emperor’ leaderboard, but it’s likely we’ll lower this requirement). Only players that purchase the Early Access version will be able to join the Veteran galaxy.
