A couple minor changes:

* There is now an 'Are you sure' confirmation when demolishing structures on planets.
* Time Manipulators cannot be used if you have performed more than 50 offensive actions in the last 24 hours.

When a new legion announcement is set, it will now also appear in the legion comm as RED (instead of grey), and will trigger a red alert popup message for all users that are online at the time, making it easier to spot an important message that needs to be acted upon.

2 New Treaty Types have been added:

Trade Pact: When active, the legion will be allowed to trade goods (via the ‘send’ option) with all members of the other legion. The treaty can be broken at any time by either legion on request.

Battle Pact: When active, the legion will be allowed to invite the other legion to join in their battles with enemy legion bases. The treaty can be broken at any time by either legion on request.

Treaties are requested and managed similar to the Non-Aggression Pact in the ‘Diplomacy’ tabs of Legions.

In preparation for base combat, ‘Base Abilities’ have been added. Abilities are available in the Base ‘actions’ tab under ‘Use Base Abilities’. Ability points regenerate each day, at the same time as base resource shipments are delivered. Higher level bases receive more ability points per day, and can store more points overall. Each ability has a specific set of requirements that must be met before it is unlocked and can be used. For instance, some abilities require a certain amount of the legion membership be a specific Race or Profession. In addition, many abilities become more powerful if larger numbers of these requirements are met. More abilities will be added in subsequent releases.

Some New items have been added to the Battle Market for Silver Badges, as well as new items for other badge types. More items are still coming. (Note: Silver Badge items cannot be purchased until base combat is turned on later this month)

Legions should review the new updates and options and prepare their bases for combat near the end of July. (Note that red badges will used in discovering base locations, so plan on saving some)

Ships will now appear properly on enemy logs when using artifacts or abilities against enemy planets. An issue where certain ships could not be targeted after triggering traps has been fixed.

Base Combat
Legions can now initiate combat with other bases!

A member of the legion can perform scans to find enemy bases via the ‘Battle Tab’ -> ‘Enemy Bases’ area. Each scan costs 5 Red Badges. The scan will always return an eligible base to battle at random. The member scanning must choose at that moment whether to target lock the base that was scanned, or continue scanning for different bases.

A base is eligible to be targeted if all of the below are true:
* It has reached level 2
* It it has not already been targeted / disabled recently
* The legion controlling the base does not have an active Non-Aggression Pact or Battle treaty with the legion performing the scan
* It is not the same base the legion performing the scan has targeted in their last lock attempt.

Once a target lock is established, it cannot be canceled. The legion will either disable the base before the lock expires, or the base will successfully defend attacks against it until the lock expires.

Inviting other Legions to Join a Base Battle
Once a target lock is established, the legion may invite other legions to join the same battle. The list of available legions that have active ‘battle’ treaties will appear below the target lock. A legion can invite as many other legions as they wish, but note that the number of rewards given when disabling the base does not change.

We’re looking forward to feedback on the ‘difficulty’ of the base encounters, and will be making adjustments to various abilities and stats accordingly.

Other Updates
Players must now be loyal to their legion (7+ days) to share the locations of enemy planets. Other types of planets can be shared with no restrictions.

A confirmation will now be presented when scrapping artifacts of any quantity.
