Patch Notes 17.06.2026

Ship Dismantling

• Ships can now be dismantled from the Shipyard.

• Dismantling returns 50% of the ship’s current build cost when the job completes.

• Dismantling takes 50% of the ship’s normal build time.

• Dismantling cannot be cancelled once started.

• Small and medium ships require the Planetary Shipyard.

• Large ships require the Orbital Shipyard.

• Capital ships can be dismantled at the Moon Dockyard.

• The UI now shows dismantling jobs correctly instead of displaying them as normal construction.

• Dismantle buttons are now disabled with a tooltip when the required shipyard is missing.

• The dismantle button has been moved farther away from repair actions to reduce accidental clicks.

• Ship dismantling completion notifications were added for planets and moons.

Fleet, Combat & Shields

• Incoming attack alerts are now more reliable and stay visible after refresh.

• Alliance members can now see incoming hostile attacks against alliance planets, mining fleets, and stations.

• Incoming attack lists collapse cleanly when many fleets are detected at once.

• Incoming attacks on alliance stations now show station coordinates more clearly instead of only the station label.

• Raid missions now require at least one Assault Shuttle, preventing raid fleets that cannot actually perform a ground raid.

• Station-launched raids now use the same Assault Shuttle requirement.

• Fixed a battle outcome issue where planetary defenses could incorrectly cause a draw when the defending fleet retreated.

• Planetary defenses now behave as fixed installations and cannot “retreat” like ships.

• If the defender’s mobile fleet retreats and no fixed defenses remain, the attacker now properly wins the orbital battle.

• Shield damage from actual combat absorption is still preserved.

• Extra post-battle shield suppression now only happens when the attacker wins the battle.

• Shield-only planet attacks now properly apply shield suppression when the attacker wins.

Alliance Changes

• Leaving an alliance or being removed from one now applies a 24-hour cooldown before you can rejoin the same alliance.

• Leaving and kick actions now show an in-game confirmation window with the cooldown warning.

Debris, Mining & Anomalies

• Mining fleet battles now create debris fields from player ship losses.

• Debris from mining fleet battles is privately visible to both battle participants for 10 minutes, then becomes public.

• Debris visibility and collection access are now handled more consistently across fleet reports and debris collection.

• Fixed edge cases where anomaly-related debris collection could be incorrectly blocked or behave inconsistently after combat.

Reports & Refreshing

• Fleet report tabs now refresh more reliably after opening, reading, or completing related missions.

• New report indicators should update more consistently across battle, mining, survey, espionage, expedition, patrol, pirate, debris, and wormhole reports.

• Pirate camp, wormhole, debris, and scan lists now refresh more consistently after mission events.

Logistics & Markets

• Logistics trigger thresholds now work as trigger values, not hidden reserve values.

• Trade hub returning fleets now respect fleet slot limits.

• Incoming gift deliveries now refresh the correct planet more reliably.

UI, Notifications & Fixes

• Steam notification settings now show a clear “in development” message instead of unavailable controls.

• Updated the alloys resource icon.

• Updated and resized the energy icon for better visual consistency.

• Added clearer messages when trying to send an invalid raid fleet.

• Starter directive probe handling was made safer to avoid inconsistent probe state if a step fails to start.
