addedThis is an important update that lays the foundation for research in Astro4x. What is Research? Research, or technologies, are modifiers to the game that you can unlock with resources (that are generated each turn from your station and captured stars). The first modifier, or tech, is called "JumpGates". What Are JumpGates? JumpGates allow players to move ships (scouts, frigates, destroyers, jumpships, and packets) between stars they control, including their station. This allows for easier defense of stars, as well as opens avenues for more aggressive expansion, as every captured star now acts as a warp point for all your ships. Packets can also be warped to different stars, allowing players more options and angles for throwing packets. In the upcoming Packet Update, packets will be able to travel at warp 3, warp 6, and warp 9. this refers to how many tiles or squares a packet moves. a packet moving at warp 9, or 9 tiles a turn, will destroy stars - permanently removing them from the board (eXtermination). notable additions with this update also include: + try again button for quick replays + ai/human setup selectable from ai screen + more visual board interaction (clicking, selecting, jumping) + an entirely new research screen, integrated into radial menu + rebalancing of scores to be lower overall + increased base population of stars and ships to 8. + increased max base pop of ships to 16. + polish on various screen visual appearances + cheats (g key), and cheat section in help + help visuals improved to highlight selected section Thanks for playing, MrGrak
