Hull repairs have changed! Instead of paying for the total amount of hull you are repairing, you will instead pay for the % (1-100) of damage your hull has taken, regardless of how powerful your hull is. This should encourage players to stack hull modules more, as it will not impact how much your repair costs will be.

A new planet filter has been added to the planet list. This filter will show only recently scanned planets (last 24 hours). This should make it easier to refer to newly scanned planets when your list becomes large.

The max minerals your planets can carry has been increased significantly.
The max artifact points your planets can carry has been doubled.

A new class of artifact has been added: chassis. These relatively rare artifacts can be deployed on your planets as special structures! They each provide multiple bonuses, so they should placed where each would benefit most.

Without giving away too much, here are some examples:

Space Elevator
Phase Cutter
Processing Core

New Feature: Artifact Gifting!

Its finally here! Players can now "share" certain types of artifacts with their friends. In the trade tab, there is now 2 distinct options:

Send (renamed from 'Give'): This works the same as before. This will directly trade ownership of the artifact with someone in your legion.

Share [NEW]: This creates a free copy of the artifact and posts it to your wall. The first person who claims the artifact keeps it!

Some additional details:

* You can only share 1 artifact per day. However, you can claim as many as you can get your hands on...
* You cannot share the same artifact more than once. You can continue to share new artifacts as you get them.

Have fun! And please let us know your initial thoughts and feedback.

After some review, the cost / scale of Attack and Defensive structures needed some help.

The credit cost has stayed the same, but the size of these structures has been significantly reduced, especially at the higher tiers. In addition, new chassis artifacts will be added that provide these bonuses very soon.

Please defend your planets - I beg you.

2 New Trade Options have been made available:

* A 'Sell All' button is now available (when applicable) in the minerals tab. This will sell ALL of your minerals in one click, and report the result of the sale in the summary

* A ' Stack Similar' button is now available (when applicable) in the artifact tab. This will combine artifacts of the same name. For instance, if you had 2 Defense Probes, you will instead have a single Defense Probe with 2 uses.

In order to support the stack update, the following changes were necessary:

- Stack size now has an impact on artifact space usage.
- Scrapping artifacts now takes into account stack size.
- Sharing artifacts as gifts does not duplicate the stacks. It will always result in the 'original' stack amount of the artifact for the person receiving the gift. Directly sending the artifact will still work as expected.

Some important strategic notes on stacking:

- A raider with a critical success that steals a stacked artifact will be very happy...
- Stacking is an efficient way to send "multiples" to a single Legion member without having to wait for the trade timer

Legion bonus for planetary attack, defense, and cloak now caps at 100% (100+ legion members).

Planet Alert Sharing now has a new optional feature: messaging. You can choose from a list of pre-defined messages to send to your legion when the planet is shared with them. This will help communicate your intent for sharing.
