Scott described this as bittersweet. “We really enjoyed the stuff that we’d done in the old hub, but we’re excited to start things in the new place,” he said. “A lot of this was sort of experimental, to get an idea for what we were doing and now we can do it really right the second time.” The conversation felt a little like talking about graduating from college. “The best part of the last update was the photo mode… I’ve got this huge album of everything I’ve explored and everything I’ve done,” he said. “The way we cope with it is approaching it from that point of view. Yeah we did that, but it’s gone now. Now we get to do it again, in this new place.

More than sadness or nostalgia, these council members are very excited to see their new systems in action, find new flora and fauna, and make new bases. 7101334 hopes that this move will help the Galactic Hub community flourish into a kind of Renaissance, where the Galactic Hub can have a stronger sense of identity.

“I want the Galactic Hub’s to develop more of a culture, for the [players] and the regions and the systems to have more specific identities.” he said. “An extension of the class system will be themes for each region. For example, since I’m the Lead Exozoologist and Chancellor of Shungka Void, Shungka Void is “The Fauna Region”. Since 57Dynasty is the Lead Economist and Chancellor of Marmor Spur, Marmor Spur is “The Prosperous Region.’” In rebuilding the Galactic Hub, he hopes that it’s easier to understand for newcomers, who will flock to regions that suit their playstyle best.

By now, all players from the Legacy Hub should have moved to the Shungka Void. There’s a lot of work to do, including finding and voting on a new capital planet where new Hub members will land when they first join up (AndyKrycek6 says that Diplos, the fan favorite long necked animals similar to the dinosaur Diplodocus that also inhabited the old Capital of Drogradur, “are a must”). The council members are confident that the move was worth it. “Change has come and I’m mostly just excited to change the Hub with it,” 7101334 said. “It was a lot to coordinate and intimidating initially, but now that the framework is set it’s mostly just exciting to see the entire civilization rebuild itself, better than ever before.”
