The Alpha Round 2 Test provided us with invaluable insights into combat and economy balance. We’ve already initiated hotfixes for a myriad of issues and made several crucial updates. Here are some notable ones:

New Combat Mechanics:

• Introduction of a fleet size modifier, favoring smaller, specialized fleets over large quantities of ships.
• Provision of underdog buffs for outmatched fleets.
• Enhancement of innate planet defense.
• Addition of more ship types and defense buildings.

Balance Fixes:

• Acceleration of building craft speed for new players first ten buildings.
• Reduction of the random component of battle outcomes.
• Downgrades to module stats, weakness modifier, miner ships, and mining amounts.
• Introduction of a mechanic for assigning more resources to a starter planet if its already mined out
• Implementation of a cooldown mechanic preventing freshly customized ships from being dispatched for a set duration.

Bug Fixes:

• Addressed a bug causing improper return of attack IDs to the frontend.
• Fixed a bug that prevented miner ships from returning to their home planet once a planet depletes all its resources.
• Resolved a bug causing incorrect planet type displays on the frontend.
• Conducted numerous gas-efficiency patches.
• Typos! :)

We’re extremely grateful for all the bug reports and feedback submitted, and we’re eager to share a few areas we’re focusing on for Round 3:

• Better tooltips and a comprehensive UI tutorial.
• Improvements to the Dashboard Page.
• Addition of Battle Prediction Tools in the Attack UI.
• Diplomacy
• Enabling Asteroid Belts!

There’s much more to come, and we’ll share these updates gradually as we approach Round 3. Thank you once again for your contribution to this exciting journey!
