Patch Notes 21.07.2026 №2

AI OFFICER: SCATTER

• Scatter is now a true evacuation mission instead of transferring the fleet to another colony.

• Fleets return to the same colony after 30 minutes and consume hydrogen for the full round trip.

• Active rules, priorities and enemy strength are rechecked shortly before departure.

• Healthy and damaged ships are evacuated. Damaged ships consume fuel but provide no cargo capacity.

• Resources exceeding storage capacity when the fleet returns are lost.

• Scatter processing is atomic, preventing duplicated fleets, resources or fuel deductions.

CARRIER OPERATIONS

• Carriers can now be assigned to Fighters, Bombers or Assault Shuttles when dispatching fleets.

• Carrier Operations research now correctly increases effective hangar capacity.

• Assignments are supported across regular missions, mining, expeditions, wormholes, pirate camps, moons, outposts and stations.

• Defensive assignments can be saved for moons, outposts and station garrisons.

• Combined battles preserve each player’s individual carrier assignments and bonuses.

• All assignments are validated against the carriers and supported craft actually present.

COMMAND CENTER

A new empire-wide Infrastructure table now displays:

• Building slots and construction queue usage

• Active or paused research and construction

• Ships being built, repaired or dismantled

• Moon activity beneath its parent colony

• Live timers and queue statuses

• Empire-wide totals

Entries can be opened directly. The table also supports responsive horizontal scrolling on smaller screens.

SHIPYARD FIXES

• Fixed shipyards occasionally remaining locked after an upgrade.

• Planetary and orbital construction lanes now pause and resume independently.

• Recovery logic now handles stale paused jobs and outdated building states.

• Paused ship and building queues are displayed correctly in the Command Center.

RESOURCE DISPLAY

• Fixed alloy production appearing to continue when ore or silicates had been exhausted.

• Planet and moon resource bars now display the effective production rate based on currently available input resources.

• Production resumes automatically when the required resources become available.

CONNECTION AND PERFORMANCE

• Fuel estimates are now debounced when fleet selections change rapidly.

• Identical requests are combined instead of repeatedly reaching the server.

• System loading and fuel estimation now use separate retry limits.

• These changes should reduce unnecessary “Too Many Requests” errors during normal navigation.

• Related interface text has been updated across all supported languages.
