Christmas Greeting from Buster [FEW] in Zenith!
Across every universe, may the spirit of Christmas fill your fleets. May your cargos brim with riches, your ships sail safely through the frosty void, and your mines glow warmly through the long winter night.
May your DM be plentiful, your fleets fly true… and to all the commanders, to you a good night...
beautiful work snow and congrats on the successful timeback!! Excellent profit 
GL defender, rebuild quickly!
Artifacts are the one of the most annoying items to grind for, but what if we made it just a little bit easier? I have an idea for a semi consistent weekly event that lasts only for a few hours, but will allow player to make an effort to collect as many artifacts as possible.
Once a week, during a 3 hour window, all exploration missions will trigger twice.
For example, if i send out 15 exploration missions in my home system, I will get 30 exploration messages (2 per fleet). The RNG could remain the same, or it could get modified to provide higher or more consistent artifact finds. This is just about providing a brief window where exploration effectiveness is boosted.
This type of event would be great for new players trying to get started and old players re-working their lifeform techs.
The Bronze items are as good as useless, just imagining if you had a line of 100x 99,999 light fighters, that half an hour detroid would not even scratch the 10 million seconds (or 2,777 hours) you need to build for example those light fighters.
I would be satisfied if they allowed us to select, in the inventory screen, how many of an item we would like to use at once. I agree that it is obnoxious to whittle the time down in 30 minute intervals, so what if we could select 89 bronze items at once? Simply amazing.
Sad day to be Buster 
You guys had incredible timing, catching it on the ground in between check-ins. Good job you two I've had many of these ships from the start of the uni and now they are gone XD
I only have congratulations for you both, it is a great hit! I felt your eyes on me a lot recently, but I didn't respect the speed that your ships had. Enjoy the profits!
I was considering going vmode yesterday since I'm taking a short vacation in Florida this weekend...I guess I should have LOL.
i'll be blue for a little while, but this wont be a permanent status for me 
missed this post somehow. great hit TH!
fast rebuild smoke
'Twas the night before weekend, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Buster;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that Obelix soon would be there...
Fast rebuild Obelix...i'm sure you already have.
I'm quite attached to my moons you see...

FR damau
RIP
good hit, and solid profit TH
elim...you'll be back bigger than even soon enough buddy
yeah, good hit Bizzle. I appreciate you still leaving me enough to complete the astro level I had been saving for. Now i dont have much left to kickstart the new planet. oh well.
glotr me, and enjoy the profits!
or if u come out of v-mode u have a 24hr attack block
I agree with this. I don't think anything should stop a player from entering vac mode. Being able to attack immediately upon exiting is what allows players to abuse it.
spy and fly
thanks for the extra cargo space elimination

A couple of us in Zenith have reached the maximum lifeform experience or are within reach of it. Can we get the experience cap of level 100 increased since the discovery mission cap increases every day? Soon the only purpose of running these missions will be to get artifacts. The impact of the experience related buffs is fairly low impact, but it would be nice to still gain a small benefit from running them. I would also like to note that when you max out a lifeforms experience you can still find the maxed out races on discovery missions but the experience you find is 0.
I do realize that this is something not many players can feel yet, but it would be nice to see a proactive change so that the players who have been running discovery mission dont "lose out" on potential experience.
wishing the best for you emnox on your rebuild. Shame it went down like that, but you'll be back - stronger than ever.
kudos to you three. impressive work, really. even with a fumble some good luck won the day. enjoy the res!
