SEASON 1: GENESIS A brand-new parallel world opens, with its own leaderboards and a fresh start. Your main empire stays untouched — switch between the two whenever you like. GAIA DESTINY Terraform your colonies to soften their climate, choose a daily blessing at the Communion Basin, and grow the Healer Ship that rebuilds part of your losses after a victory. THE BELT A PvP asteroid field to conquer: hold the rocks, collect their rent, spy on enemy garrisons and launch your raids. WORLD BOSS REWORKED Every world now has its own boss, and its power adapts week after week to the community that fights it. ALSO Plenty of balance changes, fairer offline gains and a long list of fixes. Good luck, Commanders.

Expeditions have been fully reworked. • Choose your destination: every territory has its own riches and dangers. • Three mission stances, from the most cautious to the most reckless. • Threat no longer depends on ship count, but on the value of the fleet you send. • Reports fully rewritten, with a single summary when you launch several expeditions. • An expedition can bring back the coordinates of an exceptional anomaly: triple rewards, and it uses none of your daily raids. Citadel raids and notifications. • Your six daily raids now arrive even if you are not online at that exact moment. • A notification warns you when a hostile fleet is closing in. Quality of life. • Build progress is visible from every tab. • The Hub can be sorted, and resources show as values or as a percentage of storage. • Per-unit cost in the Arsenal, gem price on cards, and you pick which colony sends the recyclers. • Choice of in-game font, exact quantity input, promo codes. Fleet. • The Line Cruiser becomes the Interceptor. • The Battlecruiser is retired and merged into the Destroyer, with compensation. • New artwork for much of the fleet. Fixes. • Server mail is finally delivered: gifts, referrals and World Boss rewards now arrive. • The World Boss and the leaderboards show up again. • Game sounds no longer pause your music. • The interface holds up at large system font sizes. • Plus around thirty other fixes straight from your reports.

Alliance redesigned: contributions, levels with rewards Recycling view redesigned + new concept Fleet navigation view redesigned, automatic routes added HUB filters + redesigned view Global UI optimization & design Minor translation & bug fixes

Added an expedition history view Redesign of the officer selection view Bonuses/Penalties based on the position of each planet in the solar system Ability to relocate colonies Performance optimizations

Improved combat reports (UI, data relevance) Fleeing fleets are now calculated based on fleet value rather than the number of ships, and are conditional on an imminent defeat Added a ranking system for alliances Improved anomaly scanning Scanning an anomaly now truly reflects what will be inside the anomaly. A rescan provides a new draw (modifiers, ships) Improved the anomaly interface (difficulty unchanged) Energy buff: research now grants an additional 2.5% energy per level The energy panel is now located in Building > Economy > Optimization Fixed a bug that divided the Helium cost of the fusion plant by 3600 Mobile hydrogen generators are now lost following a raid only in the event of a defeat

Massive performance pass: raids no longer freeze the game, the UI stays smooth even on huge empires. New unit: Mobile Hydrogen Generators. 50 energy each, raidable. Solar/Fusion plants nerfed; the old +5%/lvl research becomes Hydrogen Plant, capping +50 generators per level. Fuel overhaul: distance is now cosmetic, no more billion-helium fleet moves. Harmonized costs across transport / deployment / anomaly / World Boss / expeditions. Small Cargo gets its own niche with Impulse Drive 5+. Anomalies rebalanced: all 4 factions scale to Imperium's power (Pirates were 12x easier), level 999 is now a true boss, fights play out all the way instead of stopping at round 1. Alliances: invite players by username, private alliances browseable. Plus dozens of UI polish and bug fixes.
