Help us celebrate twenty years of Star Sonata! With our little game completing its second decade, we feel it’s only right to run an equally spectacular event to commemorate the occasion! We’ve done so many events over the years but the most storied and popular was the “PvP Server” event of 2020. So, we would like to formally announce Star Sonata’s 20th Anniversary Event: A ten-day fresh start server on temporary characters with the rate of progression turned up to 11. This event will run from June 13th to June 23rd.

Here’s what you need to know about the upcoming celebration (more details to follow as the event gets closer):

• The event will run from June 13th to June 23rd 2025.

• You will log in to your regular account, but on a separate server labeled “Event” in the server drop down. The Live server will continue as normal.

• On the Event server, your account starts with no characters. Any characters you create will be completely fresh at level zero. These characters will only exist on the Event server and won’t migrate to the Live server afterwards. You don’t have to worry about overwriting anything on Live.

• You can create as many characters on the Event server as your account normally allows.

• Pay to Play and Free to Play statuses will be copied from Live. If you would like to subscribe, do so in the usual way and your subscription status will immediately copy over to the Event server.

• Standard restrictions for Pay to Play and Free to Play will apply on the Event server.

• All character and team names will be available and are first come first serve!

• Remember that any characters you create on the Event server will not be saved once the event ends. Any items you collect, stations you built, and skills you trained will be lost.

• There will be no web based features for characters on the Event server.

• Experience gain, item drop rates, lockout rates, construction rate and colony tick speeds will all be greatly increased!

• The server will be a full-featured universe with all skills, zones and bosses accessible. However, Warp Navigation skill levels will be time gated to set the pace during the early part of the event.

• There will be individual, teamwide and server-wide goals to complete, with various rewards on the Live server for completing them! These will be detailed later. Any individual awards will be cosmetic in nature.

• To get into the retro spirit of the event, the Earthforce layer will be PvP enabled (except for the protected galaxies around Sol).

The follow on post will give specifics on the timeline of the event as well details on the goals and rewards.

 

I hope you are excited as we are to celebrate twenty years of Star Sonata!

• Targeting computer will no longer fire when the ship is in stasis.

Gunner has been in a very rough spot since the release of the Neuroforge 1.0 Patch, and this patch aims to smooth out those wrinkles.

We have replaced all other Targeting Computers with the Gunner Targeting Computer, which has been significantly buffed compared to the Advanced Targeting Computer. We are doing this because we want to move away from balancing Gunner around constant multi target damage.

To that end, we are giving Gunner a significant damage increase. In Capital Ships a Gunner has +1 free shot (basically Multifiring without requiring another weapon), and their Damage and Electric Tempering bonuses are increased.

Because of these damage increases we have dialed down the potency of Gunner Marks. They will still be necessary to empower your squad to their fullest potential, while simultaneously holding their own.

With these changes, our goal is for Gunner to continue being a powerful force multiplier for its allies while also putting out respectable amounts of damage by itself.

• Aveksaka Targeting Computer now has the same stats as the Gunner Targeting Computer. Note: Will replace the Aveksaka device with a Super Item in the future. It can no longer be acquired until it is replaced with a super item.
• Twisted Fate of Death's Twisted Targeting Computer now has the same stats as the Gunner Targeting Computer. Note: Will replace with a Super Item in the future.

• Gunner mark amplified damage in event chat is now tied to /showdamage instead of damage floating message.

• Slightly adjusted the chances of choices.
• Fixed misspelling in "Keep Neuroforging" pop up window.

The long awaited Neuroforge patch now is live!

This patch is the culmination of thousands of hours of work and years of development! If you haven’t seen them yet and are interested, the development team has released three supplementary posts to go along with this major update. Those posts can be found by clicking the following links:

• Neuroforge Update: Forging Items
• Neuroforge Update: Gunner & Ranger
• Neuroforge Update: Other Class Skills and Critical Hit Changes.

This update is focused on impacting two key aspects of the game. Updating and modernizing our modification system and bringing life into our class sandbox. There are also some other second order changes that you will see in the blog posts or in the final patch notes! These changes will introduce entirely new gameplay loops for how players engage with their favorite classes and gear. One of our developers, Hober Mallow, has also made a long form overview of those updates in a video he recorded here.



Along with the update, there will be an extended Bindomite acquisition event to refill your Bindo coffers to be able to take part in the new system!

We’re incredibly excited to bring these updates to Neuroforge and can’t wait for you to experience the changes! Be sure to log into the Livetest server before then to get a sneak peek at the upcoming patch and make sure you’re ready for the new gameplay loops and features.

Stay tuned for more updates and feel free to share your thoughts with us in the discord. See you in the game!

Long forgotten in a pilot’s thatch lies something that the universe has never seen. Among thousands of cargo boxes of empyrean shields, Delquad augs and Kalthi manufacturing parts lies a Titan Mining Laser that just realized it has a mind if its own.

It tried to converse with the other items around, but there’s not a soul among them. The mining laser sat lonely, thinking back to the pilot that left them here. There’s even some sort of connection there.. the beam feels bound to that pilot – neurobound. It knows what they are feeling and thinking and wonder if the pilot feels the same about them. It has its first clear thought. Its name is Titan. Titan the Mining Laser.

Three weeks have passed and Titan, who was some sort of rogue Neuroforge mistake, has figured out how to animate other items. From the storage it was in, it has procured ships and mass amounts of gear and is preparing an assault on Earthforce Space.

Lyceum scientists have never seen anything like it, but given that the machines are growing at a simply ludicrous place, they know they must take action. They have prepared a weapon of their own to rewrite the universe before any sentient items could be born. And they plan to use it.

• You can purchase additional limbos via Limboing Tow Service at Friedman station in Free Market for 5 billion credits each.
