Planets occupied by players who have not logged in for over a month will no longer have any cloaking ability protecting them during planetary scans, and will be open for active players to find more easily.

When failing a scan for planets, a new error message will indicate if the scan failed due to the planet’s cloaking ability.

Planetary storage structures (Mineral Storage Tower, Artifact Warehouse, and Research Data Archive) now take up only 2 space on a planet (down from 5). 5 can now be installed per planet (up from 1), and they now provide double the capacity as they did before.

When sending any legion alert, players now have the option of typing in a custom message that will appear alongside the alert. With this change, the existing planetary pre-defined choices have been removed.

A new profession, “saboteur”, has been added. This profession unlocks the sabotage ability, allowing a player to destroy certain planetary buildings when the population is 100 or lower. It is available as an option when choosing Zolazin as a race.

The Genetarr ‘Mind Influence’ ability now has a cooldown of 30 minutes, down from 2 hours.

Note: All special abilities share a global cooldown. If players switch to a new profession right after using an ability from a previous race, the new ability may still be on cooldown. Also, remember that both Zolazin and Genetarr are only available to choose after unlocking them from various missions.

The ‘Omicron Net’ is being phased out, and will no longer appear in artifact shipments. In a future update, there will be changes to the other truce artifacts. At that time, the Omicron Net will no longer be able to be used, but can be scrapped. Players will be allowed to use any remaining ‘Cupid Missiles’ from last year’s Valentine’s Day drops.

The artifact popup/selection windows now have sortable columns. Please experiment with the sorting to find the one you prefer most.

Non-player enemy ability alerts will no longer archive in the ship’s log.

Upon leaving a legion, a player will not be able to alert for 24 hours (up from 12), matching the time for an offensive action to be alerted.

Invasion probability has been increased slightly to account for the prior powerful defense upgrades.

Leaderboards now show the top 50, rather than the top 8. Your legion/player will now be highlighted if it appears in the rankings, in order to make spotting your place easier.

Legions can now request explicit treaties (Non-Aggression Pacts) with other legions. When a Non-Aggression Pact is active, all legion members will be warned before engaging in offensive actions with members of the other legion. The Pact will be broken if a member from one side ignores the warning and proceeds with the action. Both sides will be notified when a treaty is broken, who broke it, and for what reason. Legions can maintain up to 10 treaties at one time, and this amount can be increased through other means in a future update.

Legions can request a Non-Aggression Pact under a new ‘Diplomacy’ tab when viewing another legion’s information details. Treaties can be managed under a new area called ‘Diplomacy’ in the Legion tab.
