You are one of the founders!
As one of the first 751 explorers of Project Zero-G, you have held the line while we refined the flight models and the NASA topographic data. Today, the project takes its biggest step toward the future of the simulation.
We are thrilled to announce the launch of Alpha 4.7.0, which introduces the Pilot Training System (PTS).
YOUR EVOLUTION BEGINS!
The Vatican Academy
We have established a new HQ on the Earth surface: The Vatican Academy. This is the baseline for everything coming in Alpha 5 (Research) and Alpha 6 (Industrial Crafting).
The Mission: Land at the Academy, disembark your ship, and enter the HQ services to begin your pilot’s development.
New Progression Systems:
Pilot Tiers (1-100): Your XP now translates into Tier Levels. Every level you gain provides a direct multiplier to your existing pilot bonuses. A Level 50 pilot is 50% more effective in every action.
The 6 Attributes:
You can now invest in Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma, Endurance, Agility, and Perception. These are not just numbers; they are the prerequisites for advanced technology.
The Abilities Branch:
This is the most important addition. You can now begin training in specialized abilities like Mineral Refining, Quantum Computing, and Artifact Assembly. These abilities will scale based on your Attributes and Pilot Level.
Note: Training is a serious commitment. It takes real-time, and your pilot will be focused on their studies at the Academy. You can suspend training at any time if you need to return to the cockpit.
ENGINE ROOM UPDATE
Precision & Stability
While the Academy was being built, we were deep in the code fixing the "Fly-to-Sun" trajectory bugs:
Navigation Fix: The client now hard-refetches planetary coordinates for every "Fly-To" command. Your 1:1 scale lunar approaches are now safer than ever.
Database Optimization: We’ve rewritten our query logic to handle the massive surge in users (we hit 1,212 guests this week!). The server load is significantly improved.
UI Intelligence: We’ve added clickable ore names in missions and the quadrant map so you can audit your industrial data instantly.
YOU ARE THE 75%
There are only 249 spots left before the "First 1000" Founding Medal is gone. As one of the original 751, your status is secure. We thank you for being the backbone of this simulation.
Head to the Vatican Academy and show the new recruits what a veteran pilot looks like.
