What to Expect
Overhauled Enhanced Diplomacy System: A reworked diplomacy system allows for greater flexibility and options to players. AI players now consider multiple factors when choosing diplomatic partners. Also, players can now trade influence and items.
New Quick Start Options: New game setup options let players determine their initial start conditions. Role-players can select the ‘Basic’ option to start with just a light factory, while ‘Quick’ and ‘Advanced’ players can begin with planets, fleets and more.
Improved AI Opponents: AI players react more dynamically to changes over the course of a game. Players will notice them making better decisions throughout their playtime.
Updated Mod UX: The modding GUI has been updated to not only be faster, but to provide more information to players. Ratings and category information are now available in a mod’s tile; the addition of a download/install progress bar for larger, total-conversion mods lets players know how long an install may take.
Economic Rebalance: The game’s economy has been fully rebalanced to bring more of the economy into orbit instead of on planets.
Research and Tech Tree Layout: Tech trees are now less cluttered visually; similar subjects now grouped together for ease of use. Updates to research pacing lower requirements so players won’t need as many research stations to reach higher tier technologies.
Orbital Traffic: To help bring the galaxy to life, Orbital Shuttles have been added that will automatically travel between population centers in the game as a fun visual element to enhance immersion.
