Just a small weekend update. Have a great Saturday! :)

• Added Planetary Defense Systems: fortified planets can now engage hostile fleets directly and must have their defenses destroyed before they can be captured.
• Slightly expanded planet Surface maps from 20x10 to 21x10 tiles, providing more room for terrain, infrastructure and civilization development.
• Aggression menus now list all known civilizations, display blockers for unavailable actions, prioritize civilizations ready for Inspiration, and support pagination with up to five civilizations per page.
• Creator-driven aggression can now start wars regardless of Friendly or Neutral relations.
• Fixed Escape key behavior: ESC now closes all open gameplay panels before opening the pause menu, and no longer opens the pause menu from the main menu.
• Creator Halls now retain Creator contact for Inspire and Demand while inactive due to resource shortages or disabled City Center connections, while their passive bonuses remain inactive.
• Direct Creator building actions on planet surfaces can now override tiles reserved for future road expansion.
