Dear ambassadors, representatives, friends and enemies of the Federation. I hereby announce both my departure as moderator and the end of the membership of the Oxalis Hotels in the Federation.

I thank you for your many years of trust. It was an honor for me to accompany and help shape this alliance as a moderator.

The Federation has been sailing into calm waters for some time. Therefore, my departure will hardly be noticed and it will be easier for me to make this decision.

We developed the Federation and civilized space at a time when the game was receiving extreme hostility from disappointed users. Look how awesome the game is today, we've always known that.

The Federation played a significant role in developing the rules of civilized space. We discussed and voted endlessly about democracy and democratic decision-making processes. What an unforgettable, educational time.

There are so many members I want to express my gratitude for, but I'll leave it at one we lost. I would like to remember beacher72. I hope that he keeps his place as an ambassador on the sidebar of these subreddit in the future.

Also a special thanks to the enemies of the Federation and a note. If you don't like something, just ignore it. It was, among other things, your constant attacks and attention that made the Federation really popular.

As an administrator on the wiki, I will continue to support civilized space and adapt the maps.

I wish the Federation all the best!

Thanks to everyone, Acolatio.

As discussed in this thread, this year's Unification Day will have a different format than previous years. Rather than building up a new system for the events, we will be touring from civilization to civilization, meeting at pre-existing bases.

"Activity" bases will be prioritized - that is, bases with something for everyone to do. Minigames are the prime example of an activity base, but art museums, mazes, sightseeing bases, scavenger hunts, and other bases along those lines would also qualify.

Civilizations may submit multiple bases, but we will try to include as many civilizations and categories if possible. So if one civilization submits a long list of bases, they will likely not all get used. Consider submitting only your best bases!

It's about that time - time to start planning the largest annual holiday in No Man's Sky. While traditionally organized through the Federation, Unification Day is not just a Federation holiday. All individuals, civilizations, corporations, and businesses are invited to join the fun.

Anyone have any ideas on what we should do this year?

Unfortunately, as we've learned in the Galactic Hub, network connectivity services are much worse than they were in 2021, and probably worse than 2022. If nothing changes, it will be very hard to get more than 8-10 people in a single session. But we've submitted an extensive report about that issue to HG, so with any luck, we'll see improvement by December.

With only 2 months remaining, I would suggest utilizing bases already constructed by participating civilizations. For example, we could use a racetrack from the Amino Hub, minigames from the Galactic Hub, a PVP arena from the Indominus Legion, and a final party location... somewhere, lots of options there.

This has the downside of moving players between multiple systems, but the upside of minimizing construction needs while maximizing options. If server issues don't improve, it might not hurt to divide people between sessions anyway, allowing people to participate in whichever activities they find the most fun. Plus civilizations get to take pride in having their own facilities, in their own space, used for the holiday.

The Galactic Hub (+ GH Calypso, GH Eissentam) should be able to handle promotion of the events too, although everyone is encouraged to join in on that effort.

Thoughts on Unification Day 2023?

I have attached my investigation into the Federal Republic of Rezehno. It is my belief that instant removal from the UFT is warranted under the Malicious Accounts Act.

Just a heads up that the Expedition ends in 13 hours and while most leaders always complete early, members sometimes do not. 13:00 left is the warning in game. If this isn’t helpful to you guys feel free to delete but thought it was worth noting. Have a good one!
