Hello "Epic" Spacers, we're making a number of changes to asteroid bases in our .42 update. If you haven't made it to this tier of gameplay, don't worry, you haven't missed anything. We're also adding avatar functionality which includes Kickstarter, Founder and Military Service Badges, and adding a new "Tactical Map" system.

What are asteroid bases?
Asteroid bases provide one major use: To receive goods while offline. Epic Space is about live trading, when you make a sale, you actually have to give it to the buyer by:
- Trading with him at the main station
- Or dropping a cargobox in space and emailing the buyer the coordinates (Risky).
Asteroid bases are the perfect alternative!
Before: Asteroid bases had to be built on platforms. (100 Tritanium Ingots each - Expensive!)
Now: Asteroid bases can be installed directly into an asteroid!
NEW: TACTICAL MAP
Designed to support our upcoming "Squadron Update", the tactical map will allow players to easily collaborate on various objectives in game. Pressing M will bring up the TACM.
NEW: AVATARS
This is something we never got the chance to polish in ES Classic. So we're so excited to talk about this feature -- Avatars. They play such an important role as they allow you to easily recognize other players. The awesomest thing? It supports animated gifs! No, the even awesomer thing? Is that they appear when you mouse over a ship!
SO... WHEN ARE WE ROLLING THE UPDATE?
Sometime before the end of March.
