So lets be real the current Wild Pawn ID is terrible. Bad map, tech and restarts so it's been decided to take a look at the ID and redo them. Everything has been redone from the ground up. Instead of just a single ID we will be splitting the IDs into 3 new IDs. Now you might be wondering but why has it changed to 3 IDs? This is far more complicated? It's simple. We've decided to give each 3 IDs complete access to their house tech and having this all under a single ID would be a complete disaster. One ID with compelte access too 3 houses worth of tech isn't exactly a great idea. We hope this brings new opportunities to the ID.

Are they as useful as they could be?
What do we expect of our factions, official? unofficial?
Are they pointless?
Checks and perks?
Just a few questions that may spring to mind when you see the word factions.
Now is a chance to help design a faction system that improves what we have, what are the best bits, what needs changing?

As some of you might have guessed by the cancelled feature showcase stream a few days ago, the upcoming patch is not quite finished yet. Since the announcement of the patch earlier this month all of us have been hard and work and progress has been good. The amount of work we put in over the last few weeks could probably have qualified as a fully fledged patch back in the day, but that's not what we're trying to do. We announced one of the most extensive new feature lists in the history of Discovery Freelancer and we don't intend to take shortcuts or cross anything off that list.
What this means however, is that we won't be able to finish everything by the 1st of September. Now that we worked on the planned additions to the game for a while, many of us got a more realistic view of the work that still has to be done in order to bring you a complete patch. Based on that we sat down a few days ago and came up with a date that everything can be finished by, and which also provides us some leeway, to avoid having to postpone the release again when that date approaches.
The new release date is the 29th of September.
In order to bridge the gap until then, we prepared some small teasers of things the team is working on:

An ancient weapon designed to keep out unwelcome guests. Do you dare delve this deep?

Doing away with the old system of a flash of light magically teleporting a fleet, our new Kishiro Jumpdrives™ now grant you the ability to tunnel through space using artificial jumpholes. Two minutes remaining until jumphole collapse!
We thank you for your understanding and your patience. See you in space!
