Open Beta Patch 3.2.6

March 8, 2025

We’re back with a big update for the open beta!

A few of our older models have been updated like the Asgard DanielJackson-class, Asgard O’Neill-class & Ori mothership. There are also other visual changes like new icons, new particles and maps (more on those below).

The majority of Patch 3.2.6 however are lots and lots of changes to the Stargate Galaxies GC which include the addition of an Asuran AI & tuning of other AI like Tau’ri & Replicators. Unique event chains have been added for the Atlantis Expedition (Tau’ri) & to find eyes of the gods (Goa’uld). X302 will join Tau’ri players as minor hero at the beginning of the GC. For now it just spawns for you to test it and give us some feedback. Later on the minor hero will be moved to an event chain of its own. Additional good news: Issues with the dig sites after reloading saves should be fixed now. Also P2X_338 has been added while Talthus got removed from the GCs planetary roster.

To make sure you get all this changes working its best to start a new play-through of “Stargate Galaxies”. Old saves might still work but their function cannot be guaranteed. Also: The mod release version now gets displayed in main menu (bottom right corner) so you will know at a glance if you’re running the latest version or not.

Let’s have a look at the new maps that have been added with this patch.

Sodan

P9G-844 was a planet in the Milky Way settled by the group of Sodan more than 5,000 years ago, when they were trying to locate Kheb. The world was an Ancient-controlled planet, possibly outpost, millennia ago that is still is protected with an Ancient transporter that sends people to a remote part of the planet, behind the Mountains of Dor Tanak. These mountains are a most fierceful place, where many have lost their lives in the difficult terrain.

Gamma Base MilkyWay

The Gamma Site was an offworld outpost and research facility operated by Stargate Command and located on a planet some 24,000 light years from Earth. This planet was chosen for several reasons, one being its unique radioactive ionosphere which made beaming difficult.

Alpha Base Pegasus

The Pegasus Alpha Site is an outpost set up by the Atlantis expedition as early as their first year in the Pegasus Galaxy. The original Alpha Site was abandoned after being discovered, and tagged, by the Wraith and the expedition had to search for a replacement.

We hope you will like to play on those maps as much as we liked to create them.

Let us know on Discord what you think about the latest changes.
