Hey HWS Community,

after very long and stressful 3 months, HWS starts into a new season 10.X.
We want to thank you for your plenty feedback, patience and support throughout this time.
With your help we try our best to provide you the best Empyrion MP experience.

HWS 10.X had the goal to revert some specific Config changes, bring back rare resources being rare and rework couple of features.
As a quick summary:

• reverted previous HWS Config to allow overlimit weapons and turrets. It's now back to Vanilla values but with a +70% damage boost
  
• reworked Shields. The first season with shields were very interesting and useful. We identified the issue of "invincible" mini fighter and dodging shield fights. The new shields will require proper Shield Management from you. If you fly-by a POI or enemy the shields are powerful enough. But if you plan a dedicated PvP attack plan ahead. Once you committed to a longer fight the increased cooldown and recharge rate will force you to retreat or lose.
  
• resource distribution updated. They are now grouped together in the center (PvP). However with dedicated missions and patrol routes, you can get some rare resources also in PvP to prepare your PvP adventures.
  
• reworked HWS Connect features (Daily Loot, HWS Trader)
  
• a lot of new PDA Missions
  
• streamlined pvp limits to Class 1 - 5 - 7 with 150 Block limits for CVs on planets
  
• reworked Economy to dynamic prices, better Bank interest and better NPC Trader
  
• new POI integration and boost of Space gameplay (more to come)

We are looking forward to your feedback and I am preparing a complete new universe and more for the next season already!
Stay tuned for more and have fun!
