This patch focuses on fixing several long-standing consistency issues across fleets, expeditions, mining, Leadership, moons, and the interface.
Fixed mining escort retreat thresholds incorrectly counting miners, cargo ships, and outpost defenses as part of the escort’s remaining health.
If the combat escort is destroyed or reaches the selected retreat threshold, surviving civilian ships will now correctly withdraw and end the mining operation.
Fixed stale fleet data appearing after switching planets in the Expedition interface.
Manually selected source planets are no longer unexpectedly reset when preparing a fleet mission.
Expedition completion is now processed atomically, preventing rare cases where a fleet could be lost without receiving an expedition report.
Mining reports now preserve and display the correct number of completed mining cycles, including early returns.
Fixed resource deliveries to moons occasionally reducing resources when the player was offline during arrival.
Moon pages now refresh fleet and garrison information after arrivals, reconnections, and periodic background updates.
Fixed a rare recovery case where an outpost’s garrison could be lost after an interrupted relocation.
Relocation recovery now safely restores the transported garrison and avoids processing ambiguous states that could duplicate or destroy ships.
Fixed empire-wide Leadership production bonuses being applied only to the command vessel’s current planet.
Empire bonuses now correctly affect every eligible planet.
Production is now settled before changing command vessel crew or modules, preventing retroactive gains or losses when moving production bonuses between planets.
The population tooltip now shows a clearer breakdown of growth from base production, buildings, research, Leadership, and planet temperature.
Active Dead Space Sleep Shields are now publicly visible on planet cards in the Galaxy view.
A shield icon appears next to the planet’s name while protection is active.
The icon includes a localized tooltip.
Only the current active status is public. Shield schedules and activation times remain private.
The Dead Space Sleep Shield panel can now be collapsed.
Once configured, it uses a compact view by default and remembers your preference.
Improved the reliability of image-based human verification challenges.
Missing challenge images now retry automatically and display a proper recovery option instead of leaving empty choices.
Improved fleet-state synchronization during repairs and rapid planet switching.
Improved and secured error handling for debris and salvage collection.
