A new element has been discovered on the rim. Miners working security 0–3 belts can now find Anemonium (An) seams: tap one and the tank fills while the pressure builds, and every hour you keep drilling is riskier than the last. Cap the well in time to bank your haul. Push your luck too far and it blows, wrecking the rig, stalling its drills and rattling your other rigs on the same belt. Keep drilling past 8 hours and a blow takes the whole rig.
Banked Anemonium powers Anemonium Warp: dematerialize a fleet mid-journey and rematerialize it at its destination. The cost depends on the time left and the size of the fleet, and containment holds only 40 An.
Also in this update:
- Regular pirate wings can now drop blueprints. The cheapest pirate hulls turn up in ordinary sectors, while the Gallows Hound and the bigger hulls drop on the rim and in Uncharted Space. The Iron Sovereign is now a boss-only prize.
- New single-player setting: Pause the galaxy while I’m away. Your company, fleets and AI rivals pick up exactly where you left them.
