Greetings Lords of Rigel! Release 1.18 includes a new leader, Tssardak the Enforcer and a new ship system, the Tholon Detonator. The Tholon Detonator makes a ship's warp core unstable, quadrupling the damage from warp core breaches caused by an engine system being destroyed or a ship self-destructing. As this damage also scales up with drive type small suicide ships are an option. This update also includes some balance adjustments including reduced subsistence now lowers the amount of population assigned to farming once researched.
