New rules of energy gain:
Player starts with 0 energy. Maximum value is 40. Energy accumulates from the following sources:
1) The destruction of enemy units (gain energy equal to the unit’s supply cost)
2) Gain energy for damaging enemy commander by units and commanders (including weapons). Energy is obtained if a unit or the commander attacks or responds to attack with damage dealt. Other sources of damage do not bring energy: tactics, cards abilities, modules and so on. Energy increases by 1 per attack.
3) Gain energy by special cards and tactics.
Changes: Now you don’t get energy for the destruction of weapons and for dealing damage to a commander other than through a regular attack; also damage inflicted to the psy-shield of Commander now has no difference from damage to health.

We are aware of some remaining balance issues with modules. There will be an additional update in the near future that addresses the cost of a lot of energy modules. Thank you for your patience!
