2. The HWS+ Release / RE Full Wipe
I’m sorry for the irrational long delay again! It’s a hard journey for me aswell.
But I make very good progress recently and after many thoughts I decided that an offset release between HWS RE and HWS+ could be in some (balancing) areas not a good idea. I think it’s better if all servers full wipe at the same time, so the progression is equal and aligned everywhere.
Again the hint: I will activate CSW+ at day 1 which means you can Cross Server Warp between HWS RE and HWS+. With a dedicated item whitelist and if it works a blueprint whitelist you can enjoy the best Empyrion MP experience out there.
This means that we do the big bang full wipe on 11th July. Thus the release of HWS+ is on that day - dead or alive 
The HWS+ Creative Scenario needs a bit more polishing in terms of the start - explaining the core systems in HWS+ and released soon​
!
We start with an updated HWS+ Universe Teaser though (see screenshot), in good old nice overview manner with some highlights:
- veterans will recognize it: you start in a careful handcrafted universe again with a PvE to PvP progression from the bottom to the top
- apart from the Sanctuary playfields where you can/should relax, every other playfield has a dedicated meaning and story behind it
- The Expanse Sector is indeed blatantly “inspired” by the series since I’m just a big fan of the story ^^ Thus, this will be a big dedicated PvE campaign/content to fight for where you have to take a permanent decision to support either Earth or Mars for the fight over illegale Strangelet activities ||(e.g. a lot of heavily armed Strangelet Patrol Vessel Freighters)||
- PvP will have again dedicated / abundant resources with our high risk <> high reward theme
- The Homeworld planets can be daily contested and claimed by you to gain active/passive income of rare (elemental) resources
- Outside this Homeworld System there will be hundreds of procedural generated PvP playfields (and the Star Fragments of course), still with progression in mind to get rare resources there, followed by a NPC Faction campaign later on
It’s been a long journey and the release is not meant as a “finished testament”. It’s just a new journey I will keep working on with my known experiments and ideas for Empyrion to give you always something new and exciting
I really thank you for your patience and endurance following me on this journey! It means everything to me and I’m looking forward to continue hosting and playing this game together with you
