What to Expect

• **Overhauled Enhanced Diplomacy System: **A reworked diplomacy system allows for greater flexibility and options to players. AI players now consider multiple factors when choosing diplomatic partners. Also, players can now trade influence and items.

• **New Quick Start Options: **New game setup options let players determine their initial start conditions. Role-players can select the ‘Basic’ option to start with just a light factory, while ‘Quick’ and ‘Advanced’ players can begin with planets, fleets and more.

• **Improved AI Opponents: **AI players react more dynamically to changes over the course of a game. Players will notice them making better decisions throughout their playtime.

• **Updated Mod UX: **The modding GUI has been updated to not only be faster, but to provide more information to players. Ratings and category information are now available in a mod’s tile; the addition of a download/install progress bar for larger, total-conversion mods lets players know how long an install may take.

• **Economic Rebalance: **The game’s economy has been fully rebalanced to bring more of the economy into orbit instead of on planets.

• **Research and Tech Tree Layout: **Tech trees are now less cluttered visually; similar subjects now grouped together for ease of use. Updates to research pacing lower requirements so players won’t need as many research stations to reach higher tier technologies.

• **Orbital Traffic: **To help bring the galaxy to life, Orbital Shuttles have been added that will automatically travel between population centers in the game as a fun visual element to enhance immersion.
