Version 4.0.0- new possibilities (preinfo)

Dear Community,

Is time to be informed of a new version : 4.0.0.

This version is under development at the moment so we can’t offer much information right now. We plan to present to you some the new features that will be implemented and use the feedback of the community to improve and fine tune these new features.
Your comments and suggestions are greatly valued and your feedback will help us. At the moment we can’t give too many details about all the new features due to the fact that during the development process they can suffer changes.
That is why we start sharing with you the information in advance, to give you time to see what is about and have time to know to new changes before they are implemented in game. Once we’ll have a working version, you will be able to test it out in our international test server ( Ogame.Origin ) before it comes to live universes. In the next weeks we’ll provide you with more information regarding the new feature, so please keep the forum under observation.

Version 4.0.0 brings new features:
This version will have a large package of innovations that can open new opportunities.
You will have new equipment & options and also “an old acquaintance will find its way back into the game” – a big surprise
Here are some screenshots



You can discuss the new version here
(Please note that this has no effect on the merge plans and will not produce any further delays)

Dear players,

today we offer some more info about our upcoming version, starting with yesterday's pictures:


This screen shows our new "merchant overview" which now contains 4 different features in a single menu. Don't worry, all of it works without any flash so that there is no problem related to our game performance. From this ovierview you are able to reach all 4 subcategory's and from there back to the merchant overview.

On the upper left you can find the already existing merchant:



...which still works with its already known settings related to the ratio (3/ 2/ 1) and the limitation to your storage limit.

Already during this week we will offer detailed news about two more features out of this screen, the upper right and the one at the bottom on the left. On Thursday we will offer screens from their subcategory's and on Friday several more detailed info about those (*new*!) features.

Additional info:
-With update 4.0 we will introduce a small item shop into OGame. With the help of it you will be able to support single planets more direct instead of your entire empire.
-To avert too heavy advantages for premium player we will offer several possibilities to gain all items for free directly within the game. This will require the usage of resources and your honour points (-> without dark matter). Those possibilities will be included directly into the game, it's nothing about involving an external partner. Also it offers us the possibility for more events within the game.
-You will have the chance to restructure your account a little, respectively to addapt it to a new gaming style.


We are really happy about all your feedback and a lot of nice suggestions out of our international communities. Stay tuned - more info already on Thursday!

regards
Your OGame.org team

So continuing on our "teaser" theme, we present to you screenshots for the features linked to the top right and bottom left panels of the merchant overview that was presented on Tuesday. To make it just a little more fun, we give you a simple puzzle to complete. Don't worry though, if you hate puzzles or have a problem with flash, just click the link below each image.






Auctioneer





Junk/Scrap Dealer

Tomorrow we will give further information on how these new features are currently planned to work. In the meanwhile, feel free to continue to speculate and debate in the discussion thread linked in the first post.

Dear community,

today we want to explain you screenshots we have posted yesterday for you - Actioneer and Junk dealer.


Auctioneer is new NPC, which will offer couple times per day different Premium items. You will be able to bid on those with your resoures and honor points. Resources can be used for every bid from any of your planet or moon.

In cases where you will be outbidded (players which have active commander get a message on every outbid) you will have time until end of that auction to raise your bid again. When auction is over, bidded resources will not be returned, regardless if you won an item or not! So we suggest you to only bid on items you really want and not to secure your resources.

Auctions will take place every day between 06:00am and 23:00pm. They will have different time duration. End time of auction will always be displayed as approximate time.



Junk dealer is second new NPC at which you will be able to switch your ships and defenses back to resources. Deuterium costs of your ships will also be taken into calculation!

Junk dealer offers you to obtain 40% of spent resources back for free. This procentages can be however increased with usage of dark matter (every ~5-10% for 2000 dark matter) where maximum limit is set as 75%. For every exchange you will receive resources depending at which % you exchange your ships or defense, where limit is also your storage space (you can not obtain more resources than your storages can hold them).

Currently is Junk dealer really narrow minded and will offer in all universes same conditions.


Have fun playing,
your ogame team

Dear Community,

today we want to inform you about our new "Ištar Import / Export" feature.

Ištar is a NPC as well and will offer one "Mystery Container" to every player every day. If you are interested in the container you will be able to buy it for a given price with the help of your resources or honour points. After opening the container you will have the chance to change the received item several times into a new random one with the help of dark matter.

The offered container will change every day at midnight. The vague value of the item is shown by the colour of the given container, but you have to open the container to get the content shown.

We hope that you will like this additional way to receive premium items for free.

regards
your OGame-team

Dear Community,

today we want to introduce the first part of our new items, the morale booster for the resource production on your planets.

Like with the help of the already existing resource booster which are already known from the buddy system you will be able to increase the production of one resource on a single planet. The duration (5. 6, 7d) and the enhancement (10, 20, 35%) depends on the item level which differs in bronze, silver & gold.

This way you will be able to increase the production of the resource type you want on your chosen planet, for example the deuterium production just on your deuterium colony. You can use a morale booster and the geologist at the same time. You can buy every item in the shop or gain them at the auctioneer or the Import / Export feature.

Info about more items will follow next week.

greetings
Your OGame Team

Dear Community,

Today we want to introduce the missing items from our new version 4.0. Like the already announced items all of them will be available in 3 different levels (bronze, silver, gold) and can be obtained from the itemshop in exchange of DM and from the 'Auctioneer' & 'Import / Export' feature in exchange of resources and honour points.

KRAKEN construction robots



The KRAKEN construction robots speed up the building of facilities and resource facilities with their flexible sensor heads and multi-function arms. With the help of the 'KRAKEN' you are able to accelerate your current building construction on a single planet. The items are available with a booster of 30minutes (6h Cooldown), 2hours (12h Cooldown) & 6hours (1d Cooldown) and will be working for the entire building queue on the chosen planet. This means that commander can accelerate the entire building queue and not just the building which is currently in production. The time not used will be lost.

DETROID shipyard robots



The DETROID shipyard robots combine robotics with nanite applications and speeds up the construction of space ships and defence systems of all kinds. They can be used for the whole construction queue in your shipyard and are able to accelerate your production by 30minutes (6h Cooldown), 2hours (12h Cooldown) & 6hours (1day Cooldown).

NEWTRON research robots



The NEWTRON research robots are able to shorten the research times in all areas of science thanks to their vast databases and numerous analysis tools.They can accelerate the current research by 30minutes (6h Cooldown), 2hours (12h Cooldown) & 6hours (1d Cooldown).


More info about the this entire system will follow during next week.
