Hey @everyone,
after more hours awake than I can count … HERE IT IS!!!
HWS 7 launches - not 100% ready yet but luckily we can fix stuff along the way.
Thankfully, you’ve already had a lot of teasers so I can keep this short and only tell you about the additional changes.
HWS Story Start
HWS is quite popular for our start but we wanted it to be even better. It took us a long, long time; maybe too long and without the outstanding help of my girlfriend, DeeExpus, ALI, Grandizer, Smudgy and others it wouldn’t have been possible.
Thank you so much!
We hope it is worth it…
Offline Protection 2.0
After more than one year HWS finally turns OP back on but this time with fixes:
DelayTime, ie when it will get activated after the last guy logged out is set to 20 minutes
ProtectTime is set to 35 hours
Anti Grief Distance
To provide more fairness and reliability for the OP we have set individual Anti Grief Zones.
PvP = 300m
PvE = 50m
EGS Star 2.0
Since Homeworld is at the top of the Universe EGS Star will get also an Elemental Bank zone.
Remember: you can only enter the Star with your SV and please remember … DO NOT WALK OUTSIDE!
Taxes
We reduced the tax output a lot by counting RP in again.
The updated formula
Faction: All Faction Devices * 1000 / Members + interest amount of the Player / RP (per day)
Private: Devices * 1000 + interest amount of the Player / RP (per day)
RP, in combination with the dynamic supply packages become even more important, It can also save you credits!!
Overall Taxes will be only applicable on Peacekeepers with the 200+ core check and also without core check on ECC / CSW.
That’s it.
New Donator package
Since the game and our server setup changed we had to adjust the Donator resource package. Some nerfs, some buffs. Nothing major.
Golden Globe refined
You want Gold? You get gold!
With a surface wipe before the prime time (5PM EU / 11PM NA) every Monday and Friday you get a real reason and challenge to keep that planet for yourself. Including 2 Bunkers and more Capture the Bases you have everything you need for it…
Daily Loot reset
As a welcome bonus all Daily Loot packages got reset. Start fresh in HWS 7!
HWS Sanctuary
As announced this server will become very important for one major resource. Magnesium is only available on Sanctuary!
Have fun and good luck!
There are way more new stuff but let me update and release along the way more information.
PLEASE bare with me on the PDA Guide / Forum Guide / Playfield Descriptions as they are not 100% ready yet.
I’m totally done now but will update everything bit by bit today / tomorrow after each restart.
Ask if you are unsure.
Overall - thank you for your patience and we really hope it was worth it 
Have fun, see you in space and… remember who you are 
Your HWS Team
you rock good sir!
