Changes for this round will be announced closer to the time but alliance limits and buddy pack sizes are planned to remain static. We are also planning on re-introducing multi-tick combat- please see below.
Round 61 Beta
Approximately the same time that havoc starts (possibly Sunday 1st March), we will be starting to trial multi-tick combat in beta, to allow players and alliances to get used to it and to tweak what we've barely seen in many rounds now. Players are welcome - #beta on NetGamers is the place to be!
Speedgame Returning
We will also be looking to re-introduce the free speedgame server with a set of older stats, basic bot planets (that just build ships) and single tick combat in the near future.
