Rangers, we wanted to provide an update on some community concerns around Astrafite Rush. We take suspicious activity very seriously. We are currently closely monitoring player behaviour, carefully looking over all data, and taking appropriate action.

Glimmers of blue and yellow recede into the distance… Cycle 2 of Astrafite Rush has come to a close! After falling just short of the Cycle 1 Community Goals… this Cycle, our deft Pilots crushed them! The Goal of 2.3 million Astrafite was shattered, with 3.4 million mined, and the 22,500 Fire Dancers required were exceeded by 8,000! Thanks to your combined efforts, all players in the top 10,000 on the leaderboard will receive a bonus 5 ASTRAFER! Don’t let your jets cool off completely, Rangers.

Cycle 1 of Astrafite Rush has come to its incendiary close! The launch of our first ever Event has been an immensely exciting step for Phantom Galaxies, and the engagement and excitement from our community has been fantastic. Community Goals were down to the wire - thanks to our Pilots’ stellar shooting, all 22,500 Fire Dancers were defeated, and then some! However, Astrafite mined came in just short of the Goal, meaning the bonus ASTRAFER will not be awarded for this Cycle… But with the fresh Cycle will come new Goals, and bonus ASTRAFER will again be within reach! If you participated in Cycle 1, remember that in order to receive any rewards, you must save your progress before the end of the Event through the official Phantom Galaxies site:

phantomgalaxies.com

Cycle 2 will begin on Friday, November 11 (12 AM UTC). Astrafite will once again drift through the cosmos, and the Fire Dancers will not be far behind…

Introducing the first ever Proof of Experience NFT for any AAA game… the ‘Astrafite Rush: Progress Tracker’! Your participation in this AAA game Event will be preserved on the blockchain, with a memento NFT that provides essential utility for Astrafite Rush. The NFT will be airdropped to players who contribute to any Cycle (once the Cycle ends), and will track a range of player progress and info. January 4 is the planned starting date for the reward claiming process. Players will need to visit the Astrafite Rush webpage with the ‘Astrafite Rush: Progress Tracker’ NFT within their wallet in order to claim ASTRAFER rewards.

Rangers, the launcher has been updated, and the Astrafite Rush page is live:

phantomgalaxies.com

Update now so you can launch right into Cycle 1 when it begins! To update, open the Phantom Galaxies Launcher, and wait for it to prompt you with an update OR download and install the latest Phantom Galaxies Launcher from the website:

phantomgalaxies.com

Mac users in particular will need to complete a substantial download, so make sure you leave yourself enough time! Windows players should wait for a launcher auto-update prompt - if you close/reopen the launcher, you may have to re-download an extra time. Note: If you’re a speedy Ranger and have already updated, you may have encountered an issue where the launcher forces you to re-install each time. This has now been fixed with a new launcher update! The Rush begins this Friday 12 AM UTC…

We want to thank the community for all their feedback concerning Astrafite Rush - we’re taking this opportunity to inform you of a range of substantial Astrafite Rush changes, and provide some further clarity around the Event. This project is still in an Alpha stage, and the Astrafite Rush event is another part of our Alpha testing. We are evaluating a range of factors, including how player payouts could work - and already we have learned valuable lessons we will apply going forward. The lessons we learn from the process will help us shape the Beta, and prepare for the next round of challenges and lessons during the Beta before the full game release. Read our most recent Medium post for a more detailed breakdown of these changes:

Thank you for your patience - we will continue to work on strengthening the lines of communication between our game development and community. Enjoy the Rush!
