New HWS Feature: Capture Points
As announced Iām not satisfied with the current HWS Radar implementation. People just spawn their dummy base into a PvP playfield, farm the huge daily HWS DNA and Credits reward and nobody cares to raid those structures.
Thatās why there are 2 significant changes:
1.) The command o:scan reveals the full coordinates of these bases now. (already implemented since start of the season but nobody cares to destroy them still)
2.) Thatās why a rework is happening: HWS Radar bases only give rewards if you built them in the Capture Points. (thanks for the Community suggestion)
Iāll create in the next hours Capture Points on dedicated hotspot locations (Black Hole, Golden Globe and Homeworld). The areas will be around 2kmĀ³ in Space and 500mĀ³ on a planet.
This creates an organic King of the Hill event where you have to kill other faction bases if you want to claim your big daily reward spot.
Those Capture Point areas are also revealed in the o:scan window then.
Upcoming changes, tomorrow 18:00
-
Iāll change the PvP Base faction limits back to 3.this should improve performance a lot, justify the current rewards even more (risk/reward ratio) and overall makes more fun together with the point below
-
Iāll add 2 more Capture Point Zones to Golden Globe, Armageddon, Black Hole and Homeworld. So we have 3 in total per PvP Planet, which implies the mentioned feedback about either spreading or giving more parties to fight/defend.
HOWEVER if this results in the same behavior than from previous seasons, that everyone stays in their zone and ignores the others, Iāll obviously change it either back to 1 or we enhance the Capture Point feature, to get rewarded per zone and not per playfield (if itās not already the case, have to check) -
I wonāt change the Class Size of SV, HV, BA for now, because it would mean more stress to rebuild stuff.
Maybe subject to change for the next season or overall revisit it once RE 2.0 is out.
Itās overall unfortunate I canāt make use of the CPU restrictions per playfield I can do in HWS+ā¦ -
Iāll remove EBL from Homeworld and add it to Armageddon to make it a bit more āRE convenientāā¦
EDIT:
- fixed playfield description to latest correct info about faction limits etc.
Server restart changelog
- updated to latest RE version:
Steam Community :: Reforged Eden 1 (discontinued) :: Change Notes
Upcoming server 18:00 restart changelog
- implemented new Capture Point feature to reward individual Capture Point zones with individual rewards.
First iteration as a test: 1 of the 3 CP zones per playfield give more rewards than the other 2! See screenshot: - added new PvE sector: Nova to the Homeworld PvE System. Itās a copy of Phoenix and its POIs, giving you the chance to do the cooperation gameplay with your friends without the PvP thrill / PvP limits. POIs are respectively stronger and with a bit less loot than in the PvP Phoenix
- changed PvP Sector limits from 10 faction/10 alliance CVs to 5 faction/5 alliance CVs (Black Hole and Phoenix)
Those limits were legacy from the old HWS scenario, where it was possible due care for performance. Not possible on REā¦ - reduced POI difficulty in Phoenix to meet the reduced firepower the new limits imply
- changed Stargate Missions to be open to anyone, not locked to faction anymore
- PvP playfields will have a dedicated process now, changing the playfield weight to 100% to not share its processing power with other (PvE) playfields. to be tested
All changes are subject to change based on your <#1048599970741223475> which I appreciate recently
Server restart changelog
- added back Personal Container to Eton Metropolis for big reward doing the Event
- fixed Sphere in Nova needed Token for Personal Container
- Bifrost ignores backpack volume too now
- Preparing to add 1 new SV and 1 new HV to the Garage today
Another note: there is a PDA bug where sometime some PDA chapters are activating again. For example the Xmas eventā¦ I have to refactor it to a fully Dialgoue Event for next year.
For now it means do NOT do the Xmas Event again and get duplicated loot.
Itās easy for me to check the logs about it and punish those who do - some know this already. 
Both Garage Ships are for sale now. Thanks for <@260535232841646081> and <@151403064413126657>
Leave me feedback please if the price is too cheap etc.

Changelog
- as announced, I see the same afk farming simulator regarding the Capture Zone / HWS Radar feature as last season.
It seems to be the same arrangement where the biggest faction A is farming them on HWS NA and the biggest faction B is farming them on HWS EU.
I nerfed down the multiple Capture Zone rewards and concentrate the rewards to the remaining Capture Zone until I see PvP is taken seriously againā¦ whatever RE can offer in that regard. Post your cool PvP action in <#451807055255175178> or send me a PM please.
Itās cool that we tried it and itās unfortunate that PvP in RE only kicks off, when the game canāt handle it.
Iāll concentrate on adding PvE content with more rewards in the future and fully concentrate on a good PvP experience in HWS+.
Note: I mean solely the Capture Point / HWS Radar PvP with the above. If you do PvP in Phoenix: great.
I donāt want to make the same mistake as previous seasons, causing HWS DNA inflation by letting players afk farm those features.
Once bases are actively destroyed and built, a healthy King of the Hill gameplay established, Iāll boost the rewards up again.
- FYI: the LCDs are currently bugged in some POIs. A regression from 1-2 patches ago. I would need to go to each of them and press F to make them work again. I rather try to report it to Eleon so they can fix it.
Changelog
- sometimes announcements can be quite effective I think. A little poke or wake up call.
I heard the Capture Point Zone got attraction again and people donāt accept it being downgraded by me. Thatās good. I need active feedback.
So I boosted it also for NA again and it is for both servers like this (again, depending on activity it can change):
We have 4 PvP playfields with the Capture Point Zone active.
Golden Globe, Homeworld, Armageddon (special PvPvE Rotation) and Black Hole.
Each of them has 3 Capture Point Zones.
1 of them will now give 13 HWS DNA and 100 000 credits reward per day per player in a faction.
The other 2 will give 1 HWS DNA and 1 000 credits.
Letās see how this goes for the next week(s) and Iāll track your <#1048599970741223475>
Changelog / Info
- handed out the 10 000 000 credit reward to all participants of the 30 000 playhours event
- rebalanced The Phoenix POI a bit
- added the winner screenshots to the loading screens
- Garage ship price adjustments
Preparing the next Event: HV Death Race

Note: the upcoming bigger RE patch (War & Industry) will be fully applied in the next HWS RE season. It requires a wipe to make full use of it, which we do in mid October.
Note 2: Always forgot to mention that we added a similar limitation to buy Garage ships as we have for the HWS Trader packages.
Fighter Origin can buy 1 Garage ship per day
Engineer Origin can buy 2 Garage ship per day
Dealer Origin can buy 3 Garage ship per day
Explorer Origin can buy 4 Garage ship per day
- Added new HWS Garage ship, thanks to <@222000868130684928>
https://forum.empyrion-homeworld.net/t/hws-re-garage-ships/31409/11?u=rexxxus
- I set most of the turrets to target structures only and rebalanced the loot in the Sphere and Prism.
The reason why I added them was to prevent people to spawn ships inside and do it the cheesy way.
Also increasing the difficulty and motivating team play to take them out in a rock-paper-scissor game. Nvm.
New season changelog
Welcome to a new HWS RE season <@&926930721812123738> <@&276037439074729984> . All changes in detail below:
-
<:patreon:740271765225341020> New Patreon Core
One is available for Master Patrons for free at the EGS HQ as all the other benefits to claim.
For non-patrons you get 1 for free if you do all the HWS Star Fragments (PvE)
Additionally, everyone can get +1 Patreon Core (2 in total per season) if you find the special Star Fragment X.
The Patreon Core canāt be put in the OCD, canāt be repaired back, can be recycled to backpack and is the ultimate core for your Base and CV, that gives +1 000 000 CPU and infinite fuel and oxygen. -
<:GoldIngot:728165517332054107> Gold Rush
Golden Globe is made out of pure gold and a large spot of red gold that has more gold to drill for.
On Golden Globe there are 2 EGS Bunker that you can claim via Auction.
Once the first player bid on it (at least 50m credits), the global Auction timer of 7 days starts. The winner must pay the amount at the end of the Auction to claim the Bunker. -
PvP Radar Feature
You get now more rewards the longer you defend your base in the specific Capture Point Zones. Since itās a big rework we start with small numbers as a test, so the final reward is not set yet and will be announced if everything works.
Basically you have a base reward for day 1 and get then X credits and Y HWS DNA per day on top to a max. amount of ZX/ZY (make suggestions here about the amount:<#1048599970741223475> )
Also there is a new commando:radarplayers have to type individually inside that zone, to claim those rewards, if they claimed that zone and meet all conditions for it. -
<
791849999314190356> Ore Economy Rotation this season is Silicon and Iron. Ore cost +1.
-
HWS Star Fragments
Apart from playing a big role for the HWS Patreon Core, they also have changed NPC Traders in them. With lucrative trade routes it gives you another reason to find/visit them. -
Some minor things like the starter Light Armor and some config fixes. I try to add more content during the season again.
