Greetings Explorers, It is a great honor to inform you that Master of Orion has been nominated for the prestigious Golden Joystick Award for PC Game of the Year. We are both proud and grateful to have received this nomination alongside so many other outstanding games! In order to celebrate this, we have updated the client today, adding the Golden Joystick logo and a brief text on the main screen. If you haven’t voted for your favorite games yet, just click on the logo and off you go! Alternatively, you can vote for Master of Orion on the official site: http://www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoystickawards/ Master of Orion’s nomination is not only a recognition of our work at NGD and Wargaming, but it also rewards all the input that you guys have been giving us since day 1 of Early Access. Without your precious feedback and your support we would not be where we are today, so we really want to say something that can’t be said enough times: Thank you, dear explorers! We also wanted to share some news regarding upcoming updates: an impactful (free!) update is planned and ready to be deployed soon. Closer to the release we will inform you of the specifics of this patch, but for now we wanted to give you a warning notice regarding how current saved games will work on the upcoming build. Old saved games will be loadable, but please be aware that due to certain modifications in gravity and pollution settings, some planets will see their value modified. That’s all we can reveal for the moment, expect more details in the following weeks. Conquer the Stars!
