Major Maintenance Completed

👋 Hello everyone,

Nova Raider has completed a major maintenance marking one of the most important technical milestones in the game’s recent history.

This operation finalized nearly 8 months of source code rework, completed a large database migration, prepared Season 13, corrected several ranking issues, and introduced key stability improvements.

🛠️ Final Source Code Overhaul

This maintenance was the final major step in the complete overhaul of the game’s source code.

With this technical foundation now in place, new content development can resume at a faster pace, including upcoming Quality of Life improvements and future gameplay updates.

📁 Database Migration

A major migration of the player action history table was completed successfully.

This migration involved approximately 150,000,000 rows of data and took around 20 hours to complete.

Thanks to the tests carried out beforehand, the migration went smoothly.

📊 Ranking Corrections

Several rankings have been corrected or recalculated to better reflect real player activity.

The affected areas include:

• -Missions ranking
• -Uranium spent ranking
• -Easter records
• -Worldcup records
• -Resources collected ranking
• -Monster ranking

The Uranium spent ranking has also been recalculated to include uranium spent through automatic research restarts using reactor reserves.

As a result, some Top 10 rankings have been updated to reflect the restored data.

💣 Server Stability Improvements

The issue that caused several server crashes in November has potentially been resolved.

We remain cautious, as only real usage over time will confirm whether this fix is permanent.

📉 Statistics Page Temporarily Removed

The statistics page has been temporarily removed from the game.

It will be reworked and reintegrated later using the new data structure.

🎄 Season 13 Prepared

Season 13 has also been prepared as part of this maintenance.

Season Kit owners will receive two main rewards:

• -Squadron Boss: Time Boss
• -Elf Skin, or 3,000 Stars if the skin is already owned

Seasonal rankings will include:

• -Squadron Boss: Guild Boss

Season missions will unlock progressively, at a rate of one mission per day, following an Advent calendar-style system.

🎁 1-Week Kits Extension

All 1-week kits that were active when the maintenance began will be extended automatically for the full duration of the interruption.

No action is required from players.

🐞 Bug Reporting Reminder

Because this maintenance touched many core systems, a new wave of bugs may appear, especially around rankings, mission counting, and lobby features such as quests, arena, editor, guild dungeon, and tutorial.

Players are encouraged to report bugs. Valid reports may earn Rubies.

As always, exploiting bugs without reporting them is strictly forbidden and may result in severe sanctions.

🎁 Upcoming Reward Code

A reward code will be announced later this week to compensate for the service interruption.

The code contents and conditions will be shared at the time of the announcement.

🚀 What Comes Next

This maintenance is a major technical foundation for the future of Nova Raider.

With the source code overhaul now reaching its final stage, the next steps will allow us to resume new content development at a sustained pace.

Thank you again for your patience and support during this crucial phase.
