- AI overhaul: Bots now plan expansion, production, attacks and faction objectives more carefully, and use more expedition, relic and aid features. - Vision reworked: Vision now depends on a new ship stat and the fleet size. Vision expands as the fleet size grows. - Fleet pursuit: Attacks, raids and spy missions against stationed fleets can follow their target when it moves or splits. Pursuit ends if the target docks at home or disappears from shared vision. - More fleet control: Launch missions from reinforced ships, recall part of a stationed fleet, and choose which ships and cargo move toge

Gameplay Changes Costs of resource production buildings has been decreased for higher levels and the overall cost curve has been smoothed.

Reworked the Dyson sphere cost scaling: Max Level is now Level 100 and it can now only be constructed on Star Planets. Dyson Sphere will now out scale multiple Solar Arrays after level 20. Shards gained from Kraken objective kills reduced to 25% of normal shard value QoL Add
