New year, new version almost ready! Work progressed into the main 3.10 feature, planetary invasions, plus some smaller enhacements.
Show ships with autopilot stop
To better tie up the autopilot editing, the planet window will now show a listing of all ships with an autopilot stop at said planet:
Manual forced delivery
An often requested feature, it's now possible to select a valid hauler then right click on a resource stack to try to force its delivery into storage:
Reputation gains when selling products
Selling products in bulk from the Civs interface now also increases the reputation with the buyer civ. This even works with hostile civs (the 3.9 tribute system is now only displayed for civs with the "at war" reputation level).
Reputation gains are inversely proportional to the price of the goods, so if you are looking to be liked it may be worth to take a revenue hit in your sales.
Planetary invasions
Inhabited planets can now be invaded by a different civ. An invaded planet looks like this on the surface:
The native civ camps are in a semi destroyed state, with the invader camps doting the landscape. Native citizens will be hidden in their (remaining) houses.
The galaxy screen and planet window will also clearly display which planets are invaded, plus an alert:
Civs that are at war with you will invade planets from civs that are friendly to you, with special predilection for planets where you have extraction going on. The invasion will blockade the planet: no extraction and no product sales will be possible, and tourist from its system won't visit your station. You will need to liberate the planet so things go back to normal:
But it's not only hostile civs doing the invading. You will also have to invade hostile planets if you want to reliably extract resources from them, since attrition damage to your extractors will be much higher on hostile ground now, and your invasion stops it. Landing on any hostile planet now starts the invasion process, and it's your choice if you want to finish it:
Of course, don't expect these civs to just sit idly while you invade their worlds for filthy lucre:
