Repeated intro
Hey guys! In April we had several updates, patches and tewaks. A lot of them have been behind the scenes for the engine and the AI, but we also have some significant game changes that affect you directly
What changed
0 fixes5 additions1 change0 removals
addedUnit UpgradesSome units now can be upgraded for a MK2, MK3 or even a MK4 tier. There are different way to do so. Some just need new weapons or technology researched thers need to be build several time to trigger an improvement or you find some strange tech by accident - or you have to advance the overall tech tier. We decided to use the common colours for the quality of the units you might know from many MMOs. White -> Green -> Blue -> Purple --> --> Tell us what you think about it!
addedResearchYou now can build a research lab and gain new technologies... Some of them improofe your units, other give you acces to new units or ways to make money. Try some slavery, or get your CutThroat a better punch with some additional missles
addedConstruction SitesYou now have to conquer specific places to be able to "do something" there. At the patrol bases you can get their old shipyards running angain, and produce better units - and of planets you now can build the Space Elevator, opening new options on what you can do on the plants
addedMultiple Maps for one placeWe know what people hate most is playing the same maps again and again and again... We now can give locations multiple maps so whenever you jump to it, you never know what you will get. New space maps will come on a patch in the futre.
changedCutThroatThe CutThroat now also is a T1 unit and can be upgraded several time to become a real mean badass
