Star Atlas Throwdown: Score VS Sage (Part 1)

Star Atlas Player Tests Earnings: Sage Labs vs. Faction Fleet

In a new video series by well-known Star Atlas content creator Beyond the Horizon 2620, a detailed exploration has been undertaken to determine whether playing the Sage Labs game yields more Atlas tokens than letting ships earn passive income in Faction Fleet.

The initiative was sparked following Star Atlas‘s design patch version 1.3, which reduced Faction Fleet emissions by 33% to support the health of Atlas. Part of this update also introduced Atlas emissions into the Sage Labs simulation, prompting Beyond the Horizon to question if it’s more rewarding to commit the time to Sage Labs or the Faction Fleet.

Faction Fleet, a feature well known to Star Atlas explorers, allows players to enlist their ships into a faction for daily rewards, provided they supply the required R4 resources to their ships. Before the recent patch, this was a highly profitable strategy for many.

However, with the introduction of Atlas earnings within Sage Labs, BTH 2620 has decided to investigate if more Atlas tokens can be earned in the game using his medium-sized fleet and personal playtime as a benchmark. For the series, the goal is to beat an earning of 562 Atlas tokens every day in Sage Labs.

Throughout these comparative tests, BTH will also cover updates within Sage Labs and showcase any new features and developments that have been introduced since his last episode.
