Attention Commanders. The Defense Grid has undergone critical recalibrations. Review the following changes before your next deployment:
Project Pulsar Authorized: Engineering has unlocked the "Death Blossom" protocol. You can now manually trigger a spammable, 360-degree plasma shockwave to clear localized swarms.
Valkyrie Formation Patch: Automated separation thrusters have been installed. Valkyrie gunships will no longer physically stack on top of each other during combat.
Tactical HUD Overhaul: The sprawling Defense Grid menu has been condensed. Logistics and armaments are now sorted into fast-access tactical tabs to prevent cognitive overload during Crises.
Accelerated Economy: Commanders operating in the Year 6 demo simulation will now receive a 5x multiplier to all Stardust salvage. Use this to test early Forge upgrades before the simulation ends.
The Void is waiting. Spend your lives carefully.
