Science Support Vessels intercept long-range fire, can activate Shield Bubble/Engineering Teams to boost nearby shield regen and repair hull damage, and have extended sensors for faster exploration.
Shield Bubble is unlocked with Shield Matrix research at the Science Station.
Beacon Arrays pulse to reveal cloaked ships in a wide radius—ideal for chokepoints and mining lanes.
Beacon Pulse research at the Science Station unlocks the Beacon Array and its pulse ability.
Brightness, faction tint strength, and bloom strength sliders for tuning lighting and glow.
LLM settings: API key, model (default GPT-5 mini; faster, cheaper for well-defined tasks), chat/gameplay toggles, usage costs.
Multiplayer & Comms
Allied fog of war is shared; explored areas remain on the minimap.
Comms panel: text chat, voice radio (Allies/All), mute toggle; ping presets live in the minimap header.
Lobby supports AI allies/enemies, team selection, and spawn assignment.
Environment & Hazards
Ion nebula disables shields; radiation nebula damages hull over time.
Hazards are colored clouds on the map and minimap.
Hold Alt and right click to force a path through hazards.

Campaign Builder (Beta)
AI-assisted campaign planning, generation, and export.
Quick Actions
One-click build is the default workflow. Use Mission Studio/Cutscenes for targeted edits.
Use Generate Script (AI) to draft a structured campaign spec, then refine it in Missions.
Mission Studio
Mission details are isolated in Mission Studio so the main campaign workflow stays simple.

Massive UI/UX overhaul across the entire game: launcher, single-player flow, in-match HUD, admin console, settings, help, profile, and other overlays were redesigned into a modern glass-command interface.
Added full dark/light theme support with a persistent mode toggle and improved contrast tuning so both themes remain readable across menus, setup screens, and live gameplay.
Reworked desktop HUD layout for space efficiency: denser top bar, larger minimap focus, cleaner left/right rail hierarchy, restored/relocated gameplay controls, and improved chat/comms usability.
Improved overlay ergonomics with better scrolling behavior, clearer hierarchy, stronger empty states, cleaner changelog cards, and more usable admin/settings workflows on desktop screens.
Follow-up polish pass fixed launcher overlay regressions, restored hidden HUD surfaces, removed the gameplay grid overlay, and tightened panel spacing/anchoring based on in-browser screenshot review.
2026-02-23
Pathfinding and formation movement stabilization pass: reduced stop-start stutter, improved waypoint handling, and tightened large-fleet flow under heavy traffic.
Fixed opposite-direction move behavior by improving formation follower guidance and adding anti-reverse checks during formation path following.
Restored strict Range Rows behavior: ships with the same effective weapon range now stay on the same horizontal row, with longer-range rows behind shorter-range rows.
Added hold-position yield behavior: ships on hold now temporarily move aside when blocked, then return toward hold positions to prevent fleet deadlocks.
Refined friendly ship spacing and unstick logic for crowded formations to reduce pileups and persistent blocking in large battles.
AI macro-tech progression overhaul: enemy AI now force-prioritizes full tech-chain completion through Starbase Command and Flagship Program, then actively produces Uber-class fleets once unlocked.
AI build/economy behavior now prioritizes critical tech structures before over-investing in turret rings, and builder assignment can preempt low-priority construction to avoid late-tech stalls.
AI siege behavior improved: attack waves now flank perimeter defenses on normal/hard, and long-range ships prioritize turret-wall and base-break targets during structure assaults.
Formation cohesion fix: corrected follower offset math to be leader-relative, selected formation leaders from central slots, and added follower catch-up speed during movement so mixed-speed fleets hold shape better in transit.
Expanded pathfinding validation tooling with authenticated in-match stress scenarios (all ship types, all formation types) plus strict range-row invariants.
Added a visual-proof scenario command that captures multi-frame formation and hold-yield sequences with metrics and screenshots for regression verification.
2026-02-18
Massive Campaign System Generation overhaul: expanded mission-generation pipeline, stronger script-to-mission tooling, and improved campaign content generation workflows.
Performance optimization pass for large 16-player/high-object-count matches and larger maps.
Reduced simulation CPU/GC overhead by removing hot-path distance allocations and cutting per-tick temporary object churn.
Optimized projectile/effect/hazard processing with tighter loops and squared-distance checks in heavy combat paths.
Renderer hot-loop optimizations: fewer per-frame allocations in effects, projectile visuals, light updates, and shield/ring syncing.
Improved torpedo visuals with stronger pulsing, glow intensity modulation, and more dynamic motion.
Upgraded shield impact visuals with richer ripple, fresnel response, and hit-reactive intensity/alpha behavior.
Enhanced beam weapon effects with additional shimmer and pulse detail while preserving gameplay readability.

Platform maintenance: runtime upgrades, dependency refresh, and security hardening.
2026-02-01
Added a Full Screen toggle to the main menu top bar.
Pause overlay keeps the HUD visible so chat and voice controls remain usable.
Default player color for single-player and multiplayer hosts now starts as Cyan.
Point Defense Matrix research now requires Advanced Shipbuilding.
Weapon range toggle now hides secondary weapon ranges.
Added the Beacon Pulse Array turret to reveal cloaked ships in 5-second pulses.
Added security questions, forgot password flow, and Profile access.
