The bottom panel has been redesigned, and there is a lot of new stuff here: · Sector Manager: Many players complained about having to spend time searching for spe…
Hello! Here is a new batch of game improvements: · Improved merchant fleet behavior: Ships now periodically check the relevance of their trade contracts and react faster to economic shifts.

This allows…

Hello everyone So it's time for the second major update. This time we will talk about interstellar fleet movements and everything related to them. Until now, the space fleets in the game had only one limitation in their interstellar movements — the maximum jump range.
