This week’s update is led by the long-awaited Holosim Chapter 2 rewards announcement, which quickly became a discussion point after the community flagged discrepancies in ship valuations. Alongside that, we got a solid look at ongoing UE5 progress, movement in the Embercoil campaign selection, and a rather unusual outcome in DAO governance, with PIP-31 passing on paper but ultimately being withdrawn.

This week’s update centers on a clearer look at SAGE C4. From a pre-recorded crafting demo to a longer UI showcase, we’re starting to see how the next version of the game is shaping up. Alongside that, Holosim is gearing up for a more combat-focused Phase 2, while DAO voting on PIP-31 moves toward its conclusion. A few smaller updates round out the week.

Last week, we got our first glimpse of Ship Configurations in the upcoming SAGE C4. Meanwhile, in Holosim, the Superphoenix event went live, giving players their first chance over the past few days to take on the ECOS Titan ship. On the governance side, PIP-31 opened to fund Star Seekers 2 and will remain open for voting for two weeks. Lastly, applications are now open for players looking to take a seat at the table in the first official Embercoil RPG campaign.

Meanwhile, Holosim continued to receive steady patches to smooth out its roughest edges. We also got a first taste of an upcoming UE5 patch, introducing a new mission type to Galia.

Last week was relatively light on news, but Holosim Chapter 2 continues to move full steam ahead, with near-daily patches rolling out from the team. Alongside that, two PIPs are currently open for you to vote on! Lastly, on a more somber note, the team lost some notable individuals due to recent cost-saving measures.

Holosim Chapter 2 went live last week. Since its release, patches have kept rolling out at a fast pace. Other than that, the week was light on newsworthy events. Some light was shed on potential Holosim Chapter 3 improvements, and we’ve got two more PIPs that will open for voting soon.

After weeks of delays and near-launches, Holosim Chapter 2 finally has a date: Tuesday, March 10th. That wasn’t the only news this week. A public Star Atlas lore wiki is on the horizon, the DAO Casters are known, and the DAO will employ José for the next 6 months!

This week is all about steady progress rather than big headlines. Holosim Chapter 2 still hasn’t launched, but it’s clearly getting close, with core systems like the new Combat UI and zProfile integration falling into place. Meanwhile, UE5 development continues to expand the Galia experience, z.ink ticks off a key milestone, and DAO voting is heading toward its conclusion.

This week’s issue brings a mix of delay, progress, and governance in motion. Holosim Chapter 2 did not launch as planned, but that extra time did allow additional improvements to land. Meanwhile, DAO voting is underway for both the inaugural DAO Casters program and José’s temporary funding proposal. The Z.ink Profile received stability and XP updates, and SAGE C4 testing continues to move forward behind the scenes.
