Uni 3 lasted seven days. Thirteen commanders. Then it became a Hive post, and the planets went away.
That's the deal on a short universe. Rank, feats, and the fights stay on-chain. The map does not. @moon.records already wrote the log: MOON Universe 3 Season 1 Recap. This is the rest of the week around it.
MOON is free space strategy in a browser. Hive Pizza / Team Mithril. No download. Keychain if you have it, password if you don't. Seasons take a Hive account and 0.10 $PIZZA. Universe 1 does not. That's the split.
What the recap actually says
@ga-sm won it on 21,348 points. @frugal-fun was 3,000 back and took the only real fight of the week, 217,000 units into @alkalineyo. Third was @crazyphantombr on 6,626. Everyone from there down was playing a different game.
@hivetrending launched the first ship on day one and abandoned a homeworld on wipe day. First in, last out. Prize pool was 1.300 PIZZA. House took 0.130. 1.170 went to Hive Engine wallets.
Two honest notes on that recap, because it is an automated log:
Some feats still print as raw keys. feat_first_small_cargo instead of "first small cargo." The claim is real. The formatter isn't finished.
Hall of Fame has a 217k fight, then a 17k, then three 0-unit rows. Empty fights are in the table. They shouldn't be.
The post is still the record. That's why the season exists.
The other room didn't wipe
Universe 1 is the long game. Hall of Fame there is a different scale. Matt vs siddhartaz is 264 million units. @hurtlocker is on that board more than once. The week universe had a 217k dust-up. This is the room that keeps the lights on.
Galaxy still has empty systems. This is 2:144. Skull Collectors on 3, me on 7, deep space on 14. If you want a neighbor who isn't already a fortress, this is what that looks like.
Lobby last night had a couple hundred commanders and fleets actually in flight. The new front door finally shows them. That should have been the door the whole time.
Directives are daily now. Friday's copy was already wrong.
Commander used to lock an Empire Directive for a week. Industry, defense, exploration, or trade. Saturday they shipped daily. You pick tonight. It unlocks tomorrow. Ending push is the last hour, not the last day.
@hurtlocker caught Trade Surplus lying on that card. It wants three transports or recycles with at least 10k cargo each, to another player. Recycles were ticking. Transports were not, even when the hold was full, because the game zeroed the cargo before it scored the delivery. Scoring is live now. The card copy is too: 10k, foreign planet, three runs. The screenshot in this post is from before that sentence landed.
Small things that landed this week
Email register dumps you into Uni 1. Seasons stay Hive-only. Password still works on the long universe.
You can share a battle report to Hive from inside the game. Keychain, post, done.
First-to-build feats still sit on the season. The spicy ones stay ??? until someone claims them. Uni 3's recap is what that list looks like after a week.
Phone already worked. Recent work made galaxy and fleet less of a brick. Don't let anyone tell you mobile just arrived.
Why this is on Hive
The recap is a post. The 0.10 PIZZA entry hit a Hive Engine wallet. Next season's prizes will too. You own the account. The log doesn't live in a company's blog that can 404.
That's why we built it here. Games run better when the chain gets out of the way. No wait, no fees, no permission to post a fight.
MOON is at moon.hive.pizza. Uni 1 is open. The next short universe will use the same lobby. Come get MOONed.
