Register a new accountCoalition cap ships for players will be introduced... but at a later point.
I already have created new cockpits for them, etc. but for balancing reasons I would want to do that later. Too much at once will only cause troubles. Maybe I will do it right after that next update. Maybe I can squeze it into the upcoming update when I for some reason make better progress than expected... dunno yet.
Are there any specific wishes for content in Coalition space?
I am asking because I am planning the layout of the systems and have a bunch of ideas that would make the systems more special. However, the systems are big and there is plenty of room for special content.
Stuff I already have started to work on are multiple race tracks (partly through hazardous areas), combat zones between coalition and coalition rouges, some environmental protection for coalition rouges bases, a scrapyard, potentially a region with gravimetric anomalies, some construction sites.
Further ideas are welcome.
Dunno. I've no experience with Linux

In my experience, the main reason for the bans was an unsuccessful update, in particular, when trading a file with old product prices, it was most likely the reason for the crashes and then the ban. There may have been other reasons, but I definitely noticed this one a few times, including when chatting with other players.
There certainly is a problem with the update. I discovered an issue a few weeks ago during some tests.
If that is the only reason for the troubles on the server is currently unknown. Upcoming tests might be more conclusive but it is save to say that the launcher and anticheat used to be running perfectly fine years ago, but with all the updates done in the past years unexpected error sources were introduced (e.g. the difference between Singleplayer mode and Multiplayer has increased and switching between the modes back then did not have any noticable conflict while today it is a different story).
On top of that is that we actually do not really know the code of the anticheat (it never was published for security reasons), therefore it's a fair amount of guesswork and testing.
I took a short break from working in general (modding included). 2025 was extremely stessful (pretty much non-stop work) and i needed a break.
There are plenty of ideas and plans for the upcoming updates and I intend to continue the work somewhen next week.
Generally I have in mind to release the 2nd part of the Coaltion update next and maybe a test environment for the Black star update (not 100% sure how I am going to distribute it yet).
I probably will have an access restricted release for testing purposes and will share content step by step when its ready.
There have been noticable issues with the server anticheat and the launcher in 2025. I will also try to figure out whats wrong with that. It is pretty hard to figure out why stuff happens on the server and why players get kicked/banned for unknown reasons. I basically will try to clone the server to a test environment where I can test various scenarios without interupting the original server. This probably will also help me to make changes much faster without the risk of messing up stuff for regular players. I hope that I can sort this stuff out by the end of this month.
There has been some feedback regarding rebalancing specific ships recently. These changes will roll out with the Coalition (part 2) update.
Hmm, what else... System rent system will reset later this week. (one system was already paid by accident last year -> going to consider this of course).
Happy new year. All the best wishes for 2026
Not bad
