changedWe've been heads down on some huge updates! First, battles. Now you can move an entire squadron of ships just by one drag and drop. It also shows you how many of those ships you have, and how many have been killed on each side. Battles will also allow formation changes in real time during battle instead of the "regroup" + "lock coordinates" flow: We are removing the symbols from the HUD and have cleaned up all of the button styles for clarity and crispness. the victory point panel has been redone to make it absolutely clear what victory points belong to who, as well as all applicable hovers and symbols. Race symbols will be used to denote fleets and leaders on the board: Strategic button will now show you all of the details about your strategic ability, plus allow you to browse all other strategic abilities + supplementaries + how many of each you have unlocked. It will also now tell you which one you have chosen without having to select it. There is now a robust political agenda UI, which will show you which political agendas are currently active, which ones were just enacted, and also a duration for all political agendas in play (with descriptions of each). Last, some cleanups to the technology screen to make it easier on the eyes! We are almost done with the overhaul, so if you have any feedback or comments, post them now and we can make sure anything is addressed before the patch goes live!
