Fleet & Combat

  • Incoming attack alerts can now show the attacking fleet composition when the defender has Quantum Sensors.

  • Fleet composition intel is shown in the notification bell and the Overview foreign fleets panel when available.

  • Station attack alerts now use the actual system-specific station label instead of generic station names after reload.

  • Mining fleet attacks now target only fleets already mining in the field. Outbound mining fleets should no longer appear as attackable targets before they arrive.

  • EW Ships can now be used as valid ships for attacking mining fleets. Tankers may still accompany the attack for range/fuel support.

  • Ground raid reports and returning fleets now correctly account for Assault Shuttles destroyed by AA fire during landing.

Mining & Outposts

  • Outpost pages now show the remaining asteroid field resources, percentage left, and an estimated depletion time.

  • Outpost relocation now shows a route estimate before launchtarget field, target system, distance, hydrogen cost, travel time, and whether enough hydrogen is available.
  • Outpost relocation will now warn/block invalid launches if the target temporary field would expire before arrival.

  • If a relocation target disappears while the outpost is already in transit, the outpost now safely ends up drifting in the intended destination system.

  • Mining templates now skip ships incompatible with the selected field and warn when a template has no compatible mining ship.

  • Outpost Dock text now correctly displays its garrison slot bonus.

  • Quantity controls were improved in outpost and station panels.

Galaxy & Search

  • Galaxy search ranking was improved: exact system names are prioritized, player-name searches are better, and planet/system results are ordered more predictably.

  • Coordinate-style searches now fall back to normal search when no exact coordinate match exists.

  • Nearly depleted asteroid fields are cleaned up more safely: fields with active fleets or outposts should no longer disappear underneath active gameplay.

Espionage

  • Blocked spy probe notifications now identify the attacker when counter-intelligence catches them.

  • Spy reports now separate normal buildings from defensive structures more cleanly for planets, outposts, and stations.

Research & UI

  • Research-time artifact bonuses now apply more consistently across the research list, starting research, and queued research auto-starts.

  • The mobile resource bar now supports tap-to-open detailed resource breakdowns.

  • Planet/moon switcher dropdown sizing was improved for smaller screens.

  • Mining reports now show the colony associated with the mining operation.

  • Building detail pages now show extra defensive stats for Shield Generators and AA Turrets.

Other Fixes

  • Abandoning a planet now also cleans up minefields attached to that planet.

  • Temporary/expired asteroid field cleanup no longer treats relocating outposts like lost mining fleets.

Combat

  • Victorious PvP attacks no longer spread leftover fleet firepower across many colony buildings. This mechanic is being paused until it can be properly rebalanced.

  • PvP economic damage is now focused on one basic resource building per successful attack.

  • Planetary defense buildings can still take combat damage and fight at reduced strength until repaired.

  • Combat guide text has been updated to match the new damage behavior.

Galaxy Map

  • Improved galaxy system loading performance.

  • Repeated system clicks are now throttled more intelligently, reducing server load without changing normal map usage.

Market & Trade

  • The Pickup from Hub resource quantity field is wider now, making larger numbers easier to read and edit.
