Greetings Explorers,

Today we've published the first post-release update for Master of Orion. There are many "quality of life" improvements in this update, especially when it comes to the user interface and tooltip information. Read on for the update notes, and be sure to visit the bugfixes link--we had to post them on the forum due to the character count.

• Added the option to rename a star system when colonizing first or when no other races have colonies in it
  
• The first version of the Master of Orion Game Manual has been released in English. It can be accessed through your game library, or on the Master of Orion store page. Additional language support will be released at a later time.

• Enabled extended empire heuristic with colonization information for better colonization decisions

• Improved predicted hostiles firepower estimation in order to properly handle space pirates
  
• AIs can now engage neutral fleets inside their empires (defensive engage)

• Added Colony Events icons to tooltips
  
• Added color coding to Research, Production, Credits, and Food strings

  • Revamped tooltips texts to improve readability
    
  • Updated Colony Widget Tooltip style
    
  • Added more icons for tooltips
