• The Commandeer mechanic has been improved, so when a Sol ship is commandeered by Genari other Sol ships will now be able to fire upon the commandeered ship. If the commandeered ship is destroyed before leaving the map no bonus XP will be awarded to Genari players. Genari players will no longer be able to attack a commandeered Sol ship. Commandeered Sol ship scanners and detection now functions as if it were a Genari ship.
• The Marine Commander skills Commandeer are now available.
Commandeer I: Captured ships will take 1 turn less to warp out of a map. The successful exfiltration of a commandeered ship awards 4X the destruction XP instead of 2X.
Commandeer II: Captured ships will take 2 turns less to warp out of a map. The successful exfiltration of a commandeered ship awards 8X the destruction XP instead of 2X.
