Attention Vanguard Commanders,
We are thrilled to announce that the next expansion for The Vanguard Expanse 4065 is currently in the final stages of beta testing and will be deployed very soon!
As the Abyssal Horizons continually shift and generate entirely new galactic maps, the massive gravitational anomalies left behind have exposed something hidden in the void: exotic, uncharted materials. Now, our engineering teams have finalised the technology required to actually harvest these anomalies.
Here is a sneak peek at what is currently being tested on our beta branches:
Enter The Abyssal Deeps
Autonomous Harvester Fleets: You will soon be able to construct specialized drones that plunge into the deep-space rifts left behind by the shifting galaxy maps. These fleets passively harvest 20 distinct, procedurally generated exotic materials—from Null-State Plasma to Void Steel.
The Horizon Weaver: Utilise your newfound Void Resources in this massive new forge to weave impossible technology. Craft permanent Abyssal Relics that grant massive, empire-wide production buffs.
The Void-Weaver Titan: Surpassing even the Dreadnought, this late-game ship class requires vast quantities of Void Steel and Anti-Matter Cells to construct. Boasting an incredible 50,000 base fleet power, it is the ultimate testament to your mastery.
Engine Optimisations & Fixing "Dropped Clicks" A few months back, shortly after the game went live, we rolled out an initial optimisation patch that made your galactic conquest significantly faster. Now, alongside this new content drop, we are pushing the engine even further—and directly addressing community feedback.
We've read the reviews, and we know that in extreme late-game situations, some players were experiencing clicks not registering when clicking.
Zero-Drop Click Queuing: We have entirely rewritten how the game engine handles user inputs. Inputs are now captured instantaneously on the hardware level, bypassing the visual render queue. Every single click will now register flawlessly, no matter how much is happening on screen.
Smart Garbage Collection: Substantially lower CPU usage and reduced memory leaks when leaving the game running for long periods.
We are currently putting the final polish and balancing passes on these modules to ensure they integrate flawlessly with your existing saves. Keep your sensors peeled for the official launch date.
Prepare your fleets, Commanders. The abyss is calling, and it's time to answer.
