Patch Notes 02.07.2026

This update focuses on fixing several edge cases around combat, diplomacy warnings, logistics routes, market/hub resources, and temporary resource fields. Combat & Retreat Fixes

• Fixed a bug where defending fleets could retreat automatically in some PvP battles even without the AI Officer / auto-evacuation feature.

• Defender retreat is now opt-in only where it is explicitly supported.

• AI Officer retreat behavior still works where intended.

• Fixed combined assault repairable-loss handling:

  • Damaged / repairable ships are now distributed accurately between participants.

  • This prevents rounding issues where a participant could lose more or fewer repairable ships than the battle result actually allowed.

• Fixed combined station assault reports/returns when the same player joins from multiple origins:

  • Participant fleets are merged correctly in the breakdown.

  • Surviving and damaged ships are assigned back more reliably.

Diplomacy & Pact Warnings

• Added pact-warning confirmations to more hostile actions:

  • Attacking mining fleets.

  • Attacking outposts.

  • Attacking stations.

  • Station-launched attacks.

• These warnings now cover both alliance-level pacts and personal commander pacts where applicable.

• Personal NAPs are only broken after the attack dispatch succeeds.

• When a personal pact is broken by an attack, both sides receive notifications.

• Alliance-level pacts are not automatically broken by individual attacks, but the attack now clearly warns that it violates the pact.

• Personal alliances still cannot be attacked directly. They must be ended through Diplomacy first, and the attack cooldown still applies.

Shield Reinforcement Warning

• Hostile missions launched from a shield-reinforced planet now show a confirmation warning.

• If confirmed, launching the hostile mission removes shield reinforcement from the source planet immediately.

• This now applies more consistently across hostile actions, including:

  • Planet attacks / raids.

  • Cyber attacks.

  • Covert mining.

  • Attacks on mining fleets.

  • Outpost attacks.

  • Station attacks.

Logistics Routes

• Logistics routes now update source and destination planet resources before checking route triggers and storage.

• This should fix cases where automatic routes failed or stalled because a planet had not been opened/refreshed recently.

• This affects supply routes, outpost collection/supply, and moon collection/supply routes.

Market, Trade & Resource Amounts

• Market hub pickup handling is safer:

  • The fleet only brings home resources that were actually released from hub escrow.

  • Small legacy float drift in hub escrow is tolerated.

  • This should reduce cases of resources being stuck as locked on hubs.
