We have an actual person with the job title of Game Master," Pilestedt told PC Gamer in an interview today. His name is Joel, and he takes his job very seriously.

We have a lot of systems built into the game where the Game Master has a lot of control over the play experience. It's something that we're continuously evolving based on what's happening in the game," Pilestedt continued. "And as part of the roadmap, there are things that we want to keep secret because we want to surprise and delight."

Update added info..



As a follow up on Game Master abilities, the majority of the role is to choose which major order takes place, what daily is active and decide where the enemies attack. The war fought and liberation of planets - that's all you!We can also reinforce planets if needed and give temporary equipment to the entire community! ...and other stuff we haven't revealed yet.

I assume it'll look like Super Earth will lose ground, then boom Mech stratagem update drops and we start gaining ground.

Then new enemy types or new enemy faction drops, etc.

I have no such crashes. I wonder why it's happening on your end.
I tried to change a lot of things like playing solo, changing my whole build, disabling crossplay, different mission types or planets, don't summon anything etc. and can't find what causes it.

In PS5 for me the game crashes almost every time I play a mission, crashes a few seconds or minutes after landing in the planet for a mission. I contacted to support, but still didn't get a reply from them.

Damn, hope it works out. I've been smooth playing for days now but even before then never got more than like one crash.
