100k MAPSpace Weather Events
Dynamic map-wide effects that change gameplay
Space weather events are global phenomena that alter gameplay across an entire map. Only one event can be active at a time. Events last 5 minutes with a 15-minute cooldown between them. A random event spawns on a random map.
A directional force pushes all ships on the map. Ships moving with the wind gain 115% speed, while ships moving against it drop to 70% speed. Standing still? The wind slowly pushes your ship.
NPCs are NOT affected — only player ships
All weapons deal 30% less damage (lasers, rockets, PvP). But all NPC rewards are doubled — EXP, honor, credits, and astrals. Risk vs reward at its finest.
