9.15 Update Notes

CM Chris

Greetings, Captains. The 9.15 update is deploying Tuesday, April 9th at ~4:00 PM PDT. This update contains support for the monthly Raid, Fog of War.

• [Ships] T8 Batteries (Radioactive, Ballistic, Penetrative, Corrosive) have had their total weight stat reduced from 25% to 24%. This seemingly minor change will enable a few more builds to be viable on the Saturn and Nemesis X.

• [Combat] PvP and PvE is now further siloed. PvE fleets cannot attack Mega ships, cannot be set as guard fleets, and setting player bases with PvE fleets.

• [Chests] Identical chests (i.e. Bacon chests) now stack in inventory. You can still open chests individually, but you’ll no longer have to scroll past each chest you own individually.

• [Chests] You can now use the left arrow to navigate to the ‘end’ of your chest inventory.

As part of the 9.14 update we removed the built-in refit tax in an effort to help players adjust their builds as needed. While this was originally scheduled to be re-instated with the 9.15 update, we are leaving it disabled for another week.

We are intermittently despawning salvages to correct a bug. They should be back up and running normally soon.
