Developers just tweet use another picture from one of the moons that you will be able to travel from the Stargate system.

Another amazing screenshot of one of the moons that will be accessible from the upcoming GRAV Stargates!

Hey everyone, we've building a really great server listing interface for people to advertise their servers. The first component is a public list to help you find servers based on a ranking algorithm we made. It is still a work in progress and I will be adding more features over the next few days, including sorting, filtering, etc.

The server ranking list takes into account the following:
1) Server uptime
2) Average number of players online in the past hour.

From this information an algorithm then gives the server a score. Percentage of uptime + more average people online = better score. If a server is down for more than 5 polls in a row (servers are polled every 5 minutes) then it will no longer be polled for 24 hours and this will have negative impact on server scores. I will be tweaking the scoring algorithm and if you have any suggestions, feel free to let me know!

We want to make sure that players that use GravOnline.com can...

So today we are going to show a lot of sneak peaks of what is coming soon to GRAV. If you don't know GRAV has Trello Setup to organize priority of features of things they like to add to the game. Now please note that they will most likely add smaller things here and there before these features come to light but these are their higher propriety of features to get out of the door.

We are listing at this time the features that are marked for Near Future Early Access. This could still be months away or only weeks or days.

Stargate:

This has to be everyone's favorite feature right now. The Stargate will allow you to travel planet to planet and the devs have hinted the planets you see rotating around your planet now is the planets it will travel to. We have no Clue how it connects to a planet if it has some sort of selector or dial up but will post more info when we get...

BALANCE:

• Force Field Doors now have a higher drop chance."
• Active Nexus Nodes now stop people building near them. NOTE: The distance is 2x the Max Upgraded Radius to stop rampant griefing of people building Nexus Nodes on Top of Each Other."
• BALANCE PVE: If you are within another FOF Group's Nexus Shield you can no longer damage their Buildings"
• BALANCE PVE: Landmines no longer harm other players.'

IMPROVEMENT:

• Whenever there is a New Patch, we will auto save the previous version of the SaveData. This should help one recover from any Game Server Mishaps.
• World Data Download UNTHROTTLED"
• TeamSay is now colored Blue"
• Tech Hunters have found their Elemental Skins"
• Tech Hunters Bosses are now decked out in some Tech Hunter Gear!"
• You now spawn FACING your uplink so you have frame of references when you awake from death or being offline."
• New PlayerSkill: Pet Duration"
• Increased the Responsiveness of Items on...

Looks like the Developers are working hard on Patch 7. We went through 2 Major Changes Patch 7 PRE1 and Patch 7 PRE2. Just an hour ago Patch 7 and Shown up on Experiment. All the Patch notes from Pre1 and Pre2 have now be condensed. Looks like will be seeing Patch 7.0 Released very soon!

Stay Tuned for more information!
