Significant changes:

  • Player passwords are no longer stored in plain text, and can be changed
    anytime through the Options dialog
    . (Bug #254 )
  • Multiple Mutant and Renegade factions are now spawned in the galaxies,
    instead of having one faction starting on multiple planets.
  • Mutant and Renegade now research technologies, and use pacts. Mutant
    only pacts with other Mutant factions, but Renegade now works as good
    trade partner to players. Starting level of technologies has been lowered
    to make early gameplay more balanced.
  • STL engines introduced - provides cheaper combat agility for cases where
    FTL speed is not needed.

Balancing:

  • Ship repair amount is minimum of 1, to help small ships on low-repair
    facitilities.
  • Renegade and Mutant now benefits from STL engines.
  • Rebel is now able to upgrade designs and ships, being able to move from
    prototype technologies to proper TL1.
  • Renegade consumes special resource to build more powerful medium sized
    ships.
  • HP of Renegade and Mutant structures has been reduced.
  • Flak defenses of Mutant structures has been transformed, now it follows
    traditional pattern where all sizes have same amount of hardpoints.
  • Building structure over existing one will result in partial reuse of value
    i.e. structure will spawn with higher HP amount, depending on value of
    replaced one.
  • Minimal growth of planet population has been increased from 20 to 100.

Fixes:

  • Fixed table sorting.
  • ETA of fleet command is now calculated properly during composition.
  • Various fleet / redirect widgets now center properly.
  • Game no longer freezes after inactivity in Galaxy Selection and Booking
    dialogs.

    with only 10 % of max HP. Structures are not changed, only starts up

    expansive buildings being up to three times slower to repair than basic ones.
  • Structures when not provided with enough pop/en will now deteriorate into
    sustainable state.
  • Every planet has base CP production of 5
  • TL-based population is now 100 * TL of player per slot, regardless building

    line with the rest).
  • Rebel players now accept economic pacts
  • Limited scan power of a system to 150 (some top scanners max it out)
  • Introduced primitive (ship) technologies, so players have more options how to

    counterparts, but are not upgradable, and are heavier, making ship options
    more diverse, but more defensive by nature.

    service)
  • Booking dialog changed to be more user friendly.
  • New galaxy sizes available.
