Below is a detailed list of the improvements and fixes included in Update 88.1 and we appreciate your continued feedback as we evolve the game.

New Content

  • Decreases Critical Hit Damage of Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas by 4500% when using the U.S.S Vengeance.

Improvements

  • We added ship parts preview chests, allowing players to see how rewards increase as you level up the faction store
  • When players unlock the Maverick Faction, they will see a short tutorial explaining the system, followed by a final slide covering how Maverick Tasks work, including AMS/SMS events, building unlocks, and task resets.
  • Due to player feedback about the removal of Maverick tasks from the Event tab, individual contribution visibility in Maverick tasks has been restored. You can once again see which alliance members contributed, and this information will remain available in the Event tab moving forward.

    We’ll continue looking for ways to improve this feature in the future.

Bug Fixes & Updates

  • Resolved an issue where the Faction Store UI displayed incorrectly across platforms. On Windows and macOS, the interface appeared compressed, with additional bundle columns displayed, enlarged officer art, and an oversized Favor Bundle box. On Android and iOS, the layout showed fewer columns than intended, and the officer art overlapped with the Favour text. This issue also affected the Officer tab, where officer icons were spaced incorrectly.
  • Resolved an issue where tapping the HUD notification after completing a Maverick Faction milestone did not redirect players to the corresponding Maverick milestone screen.
  • Resolved an issue where a notification failed to appear for Maverick Faction tasks when a player reached a milestone.
  • Resolved an issue where extra quotation marks (“ ”) appeared at the beginning and end of the Unlock Task description when a player unlocked a task in the Maverick tab of the Faction Store.
  • Addressed an issue where, after viewing a bundle in the Faction Store and navigating to Maverick Faction Tasks, scrolling caused an empty space to appear in the task list between the 7th and 9th entries.
  • Fixed an issue where, upon reaching Fallback Mission Part 5, the navigation point was out of reach, preventing players from completing the mission.
  • Addressed an issue where the Isolytic Defense vs. Conqueror Borg Solo Armadas research displayed incorrect buff values at Levels 1–3. The previous values were 18%, 23%, and 50%, but have been corrected to the intended values of 350%, 675%, and 1000%, respectively.
  • Fixed an issue where the Field Training progress bar displayed 0/0 upon launching the game, regardless of the player’s actual progress. The correct progress now appears immediately without requiring players to click on a Field Training objective.
  • Resolved an issue where some older devices loaded an incorrect background in Field Training and were unable to process it properly. 
  • Resolved an issue where selecting the “Simulator” button from the main HUD caused the Battle Simulator screen to display an infinite loading spinner and prevented further progression.
  • Addressed an issue where G7 ship power values, now reaching the trillions, were overlapping in certain menus. The display overlap varied depending on the specific digits in the power value.
  • Addressed an issue that prevented the Meridian from being scrapped.
  • Resolved an issue on iOS where ships did not display when Low or Medium graphics quality was selected in the user settings.
  • Fixed an issue where the Outpost could become corrupted if a player used “Jump Travel” in the final 10 seconds before initiating battle with it.
  • Addressed an issue where non-leader players were able to remove other members from a group Wave Defense.
  • Fixed an issue where no bundles were visible in the Refinery Artifact tab or the Artifact Store tab. These sections appeared empty, preventing players from viewing or purchasing available artifact-related bundles.
  • Fixed an issue where starting any Open Armada and switching to Galaxy View or another system caused the fleet bar to display an incorrect combat timer that would restart at 5 seconds and then become stuck at 0 until the battle concluded.
  • Fixed an issue where the participant list did not update in real time on the leader’s screen. When removed participants rejoined, the updated list would not appear unless the leader navigated away from the screen and returned. 
  • Addressed an issue where Open Armadas were incorrectly displayed as “in battle” even when no battle was in progress. Because the Armada was flagged as active, players were unable to engage or start a new battle with the affected Armada.
  • Addressed an issue where the game froze after a player selected the Exterior button upon completing the tutorial. 
  • Resolved an issue in the Independent Archive where claiming the Mastery Bundle after collecting all Pillars of the Meridian Archive triggered a “This item has just been removed from the store!” popup, and caused the claim button spinner to persist temporarily.
  • Fixed an issue where Alliances recently left by the player continued to appear in the recommendation list, even though the player was unable to rejoin them because of the 8 hour cooldown.
  • Addressed an issue where players received multiple pop-ups for Store sales when logging in instead of a single notification.
  • Fixed an issue where ship icons in the System view displayed mixed or overlapping colors.

We appreciate your continued support, Commanders. 

Live Long and Prosper,
