The full manufacturing pipeline is live. Build an Assembly Plant (CC 7) to craft 8 component types from refined materials, then assemble ships at the Shipyard. Industrial doctrine players get 25% faster manufacturing. The supply chain is now: Mine -> Refine -> Manufacture -> Assemble.
Global chat and alliance chat channels are now live. Send private messages to any player. Alliance chat provides a secure channel for coordination and strategy.
5 competitive event types are now running: Power Surge, Asteroid Domination, Galactic Warfare, Pirate Hunt, and Portal Explorers. Electronic warfare modules (ECM Suite, Shield Generator, Targeting Computer, Repair Nanites) now have active combat effects beyond flat stat bonuses.
Alliance rally attacks are live -- coordinate multi-player assaults through the Alliance Embassy. Portal system expanded with Secret Base assaults, fragment collection, and portal PvP attacks. Fleet Commander certification grants bonus rally slots.
10 alliance research types now available, from resource production bonuses to doctrine synergy and territory control. The alliance warehouse allows members to deposit resources that fund shared research.
Every ship type now has a distinct speed (seconds per tile). Fleet speed equals the slowest unit. New Auto-Mining module lets ships automatically move to the nearest asteroid when the current one depletes, at the cost of -50% mining yield.
Mining speeds rebalanced, asteroid density tuned for better field distribution, and pirate respawn timers adjusted. Mining Barge yield corrected to 150/cycle (from 350).
The wiki now covers Manufacturing, Combat, Portal System, Events, and Alliances. All ship data updated with speeds, manufacturing requirements, and registered/squadron classification.
The real-time certification system is now fully implemented. 44 certifications across 6 trees: Mining, Combat, Commerce, Science, Exploration, and Shared. Train skills in real time, even while offline.
Named ships can now be equipped with modules via the Arsenal fitting system. 10 module types across offense, defense, utility, and mining categories. Military doctrine players get +1 slot bonus.
Mining drones, combat drones, and scout drones are now operational. Deploy them from ship drone bays to enhance mining yields, combat power, or sensor range.
Nova Rift enters alpha development. Core systems include base building, resource production, unit training, galaxy map, mining, and combat. Portal missions and the trading system are under active development.
