Alpha 4.0: The Pyro Gateway
The long-prophesied jump has finally been made. Alpha 4.0 brings Pyro, server meshing, jump points, and the RSI Zeus Mk II — doubling the playable universe overnight.
The long-prophesied jump has finally been made. Alpha 4.0 isn’t just a patch; it’s the realization of the “Second System” dream. By implementing Static Server Meshing, CIG has successfully linked Stanton and Pyro via the jump point corridor, effectively doubling the playable space and increasing player caps to unprecedented levels.
Key Feature Breakdown
| Feature | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pyro System | Environment | 6 planets, dozens of moons, and the “Ruin Station” hub. Lawless and high-hazard. |
| Jump Points | Technology | Seamless transit between star systems via a wormhole navigation mini-game. |
| Server Meshing | Core Tech | The tech that allows players to move between servers without loading screens. |
| RSI Zeus Mk II | Ship | Three variants (ES, CL, MR) released to flyable status as the premier mid-size explorer/hauler. |
Mechanical Deep-Dive: Navigation in the Void
Pyro is not Stanton. There is no local police force, and the star itself is unstable. Solar Flares now occur periodically, requiring players to seek cover behind planetary bodies or within specialized station shields.
Engineering Gameplay (v0.5): Introduction of the first component-access panels. While not the full loop, players can now manually swap fuses to restore power after a solar surge.
The Lawless Meta: With no Comm-Arrays to monitor crimes, “The verse is your oyster — or your grave.” Bounty hunters must now rely on physical tracking and informant NPCs.
What This Means for CDYN
This is the patch we’ve been waiting for. With an entirely new star system to explore, our Exploration and Security divisions are going to be working overtime. Pyro’s lawless zones mean coordinated fleet operations are no longer a luxury — they’re a necessity. Logistics operators should begin planning Stanton-to-Pyro supply chains immediately.
The jump point mechanics also open up entirely new roles for our pilots. Navigating the wormhole corridor requires skill and situational awareness — expect training sessions on Discord in the coming weeks.
Welcome to the next chapter of the verse, operators. See you in Pyro.
