The smuggling career gets its missing half, and a rare cosmic dead end gets repaired.
Smuggling — the premium market opens
Contraband can finally be sold the way the career was designed:
- Hot Cargo — at any port outside a fence sector, sell contraband at street premium. The trade screen quotes the real price per unit and the region’s customs detection risk before you commit; get caught and the goods are seized plus a fine.
- Fence it flat — Black Market ports now have sell cards with real quoted prices. Flat rate, no scan, no questions.
- Fixed: contraband cargo volume was counted wrong outside the black market, so your holds could read “free” while buys said “full.” Hold math is now honest everywhere — ship screen, trading, loot, and planet transfers.
Combat
The battle result screen now shows the real numbers: both ships’ fighters, shields, and torpedoes, each side’s losses, and combat power — for PvP and NPC fights alike. No more rows of zeros.
The galaxy
Fixed a world-generation defect where a rare rim sector could be entered but never left (one-way links in, no links out). The live galaxy has been repaired, every future galaxy is generated with a guaranteed route home, and if you were the pilot who found it — o7, your bug report fixed the universe.
Founders
The Vanguardian insignia arrives — a permanent founder honor that carries across every season, forever.
Under the hood
Game logs no longer store message content (privacy hardening), a dead notification-settings section was removed from the app, and build/deploy infrastructure was hardened.
