A release built from the Discord #suggestions channel. Thanks to everyone who posted ideas.
Upgrades
- Jump straight to the level you want. Planet structures, warp drive, StarNav, and ship capacity upgrades (holds, shields, fighters, torpedoes) can now be bought several levels at once. You see the combined cost before you confirm. Structure jumps still charge turns and award XP for every level you buy.
- Black market Max now fills to whatever you can actually carry and afford, within the per-deal limit. When nothing fits, it says so instead of offering 1 unit.
- Bigger fighter orders. A single purchase can now be up to 50,000 units.
Planets
- Starbases and Trading Posts award XP. Building a Starbase pays planet XP, and so does building or upgrading a Trading Post, the same way other structures do.
Corporations
- Corp planets are shared nav buoys. You can warp to any sector holding a planet your corporation owns, even if you have never been there yourself.
- The corp Planets list now marks which of those sectors you have explored and which you haven’t.
Navigation
- Favorites are back as a warp list. Tap ★ Favorites in the Sector panel to warp to any starred sector, or move there directly if it’s next door.
- The Contacts and Move panels can now be hidden through Customize. Sector stays pinned.
Factions
- The Federation escorts its Paragons out. Captains at alignment 1,000 who are sitting in Federation space get towed to the nearest sector outside it when their turns renew. You can fly back in any time, and Fed space stays safe from attack.
Look and feel
- Modals now use a darker, near-black background.
- Buy and sell prices are back in the right-hand column on trade rows.
- The port tab is now called Ports, and the Stardock/Starport tab is now called Dock.
- Federation-aligned captains now show in Federation blue in online lists.
- The in-app glossary explains the Full-Hold Cloak more clearly.
