4. DAO Governance and Community Impact

• DAO Council Election Impact:
  • The 2025 election (March 24) introduced new proposals for gameplay and economy (Post ID: 1904125664048927229).

  • Factions (e.g., ONI) will gain more control over economic policies (Community: Discord).
  • Impact: Faction-based bonuses for scanning or crafting.

5. Preparing for New Crafting Recipes

Stockpile Resources Now:

• Start gathering Iron Ore, Carbon, and SDUs to craft new modules like the Cargo Expansion Module (see my CRAFTING XP guide).
• Example: I’m stockpiling 1,000 Iron Ore for Q2 2025 updates.

Explore for Rare Resources:

• New resources like Rare Ore will be key for advanced recipes. Prepare for exploration missions in Q3 2025.
• Use versatile ships like Rainbow Om for both crafting and exploration (see my Marketplace Guide).

Monitor Marketplace Trends:

• With new recipes, demand for Rare Ore and SDUs will spike. Buy low now (e.g., SDUs at 750 ATLAS for 150 units) and sell high during updates (see my Marketplace Guide).

Upgrade Your Fleet:

• Craft the Cargo Expansion Module to increase your ship’s capacity (e.g., +10% for Ogrika Thripid), making crafting more efficient.
• Example: I’ll upgrade my ONIGIRIYA1 fleet with the Scanning Efficiency Module for better SDU XP gains.
