Anti-fighter frigates from the TEC, Advent, and Vasari factions now come with extended weapon ranges, enabling you to engage enemies from a greater distance. Abilities have been adjusted, including the TEC Light Frigate's Sabotage Antimatter ability, which now has a longer cooldown and a more impactful effect.

Faction dynamics have been fine-tuned for a more balanced experience. The Advent Deliverance Engine now capitalizes on stacked allegiance effects, giving your faction a stronger edge. Additionally, the TEC Akkan's Armistice ultimate ability has been upgraded to halt passive regeneration.

TEC Supply Pact now requires Basic Provisioning technology to unlock. Meanwhile, the Self Destruct ability of TEC starbases has been revamped with a longer delay, adjusted range, and modified damage, adding a new layer of strategy.

Even amidst the vast expanse of space, balance is crucial. The Unstable Gas Pockets modifier has been recalibrated to leave strikecraft unaffected, ensuring a fair playing field.

Forge alliances, sharpen your tactics, and rise as the ultimate cosmic conqueror.
