Patch Notes 03.07.2026

This update focuses on alliance extraction, minefield counterplay, PvP warnings, and several fleet/combat fixes.

Alliance Dead Space Extraction

• Fixed the Dead Space Extraction tab on the alliance page.

• The tab now shows alliance-wide Quantum Dust and Dark Matter mining totals.

• Added a player contribution table so alliances can see who mined how much.

• Added clearer field visibility rules:

  • 3+ controlled stations in a Dead Space sector reveal Quantum Dust fields.

  • 4+ controlled stations reveal Dark Matter fields.

  • 5 controlled stations add 3 extra Dark Matter fields.

• Fixed alliance mining logs for cases where the mined field’s target system was not saved correctly.

• If an alliance loses enough station control, excess Dark Matter fields are now cleaned up properly, starting with the most depleted fields.

Minefields

• Your own minefields no longer block your fleets from leaving a planet.

• Patrols now correctly help against covert mine deployment on your planets.

• If a patrol intercepts part of an incoming covert mine deployment, the remaining minefield is revealed to the defender.

• Covert mine deployment detection now scales with actual local defenses:

  • Empty planets with no fleet and no planetary weapons can still be mined with 100% success.

  • Planetary weapons add detection chance per building level.

  • Stationed fleets add about detection chance per ~10 ships.

  • Counter-Intelligence increases detection.

  • Signal Intelligence and EW ships reduce detection.

• Garrison, traps, and shield generators do not help detect covert mine deployment.
