    1. Update v1.61.4:
    2. Added visual range circles for defense structures during placement.
    3.  
    4. Fixed bug that prevented missiles from retargeting (still requires requisite tech unlock).
    5.  
    6. TEC
    7.  
    8. Garda Flak Frigate: increased each turret’s pitch/yaw firing tolerance by 150% to better track enemy missiles/strikecraft. This will greatly improve their ability to engage off-axis missiles such as those fired by the Tempest, as well as improving their ability to target missiles that are very close to the Garda.
    9.  
    10. [Reinforcements DLC] Takadaran Command Ship
    11.  
    12. The Takadaran is intended to act as a force multiplier for the smaller units fielded by the TEC Enclave in the mid and late game. Increasing the magnitude of both its defensive and offensive support abilities should help it, and by extension fleets of frigates, cruisers and corvettes, remain relevant even in high lethality late game battles.
    13.  
    14. Hold the Line ability updated:
    15.  
    16. Ship damage reduction increased from -10%/-15%/-20%/-25%/-35% to -20%/-30%/-40%/-50%/-70%
    17.  
    18. Structure damage reduction increased from -20%/-25%/-30%/-35%/-45% to -40%/-50%/-60%/-70%/-90%
    19.  
    20. Magnetic Overshield damage prevention increased from 40%/50%/60%/70%/90% to 50%/60%/70%/80%/100%
    21.  
    22. This should help the Takadaran’s build variety by providing both greater returns on a single ability point investment in Magnetic Overshield, as well as allowing a full five point investment to completely mitigate incoming damage against the ship’s Shield, Armor or Hull while active.
    23.  
    24. Coordinate ability updated:
    25.  
    26. Corvette cooldown changed from -0.15/-0.2/-0.25/-0.3/-0.4 to -0.1/-0.2/-0.3/-0.4/-0.5
    27.  
    28. Frigate cooldown changed from -0.1/-0.15/-0.2/-0.25/-0.35 to -0.1/-0.2/-0.3/-0.4/-0.5
    29.  
    30. Cruiser cooldown changed from -0.05/-0.1/-0.15/-0.2/-0.3 to -0.1/-0.2/-0.3/-0.4/-0.5
    31.  
    32. Corvette linear speed bonus changed from 0.05/0.1/0.15/0.2/0.3 to 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4/0.5
    33.  
    34. Frigate angular speed bonus changed from 0.1/0.15/0.2/0.25/0.35 to 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4/0.5
    35.  
    36. Cruiser ability cost bonus changed from 0.15/0.2/0.25/0.3/0.4 to 0.1/0.2/0.3/0.4/0.5
    37.  
    38. Updated new TEC portrait images (previous were older versions of the hand-painted redos)
    39.  
    40. Advent
    41.  
    42. Added ability for purchased Gauss Defense Platforms to gain shield burst and regen (via Advent synergies).
    43.  
    44. Added ability for Phase Jump Inhibitors to gain shield burst/regen (via Advent synergies).
    45.  
    46. Vigilis Sentinel: increased each turret’s pitch/yaw firing tolerance by 150% to better track enemy missiles/strikecraft. This will greatly improve their ability to engage off-axis missiles, such as those fired by the Tempest, as well as improving their ability to target missiles that are very close to the Vigilis.
    47.  
    48. Tempest Frigate: Missile damage reduced from 20 to 18 (-10%)
    49.  
    50. The Tempest is greatly overperforming - while PD changes will help to prevent it being a dominant pick, a damage reduction is also warranted to reduces its overall lethality when massed.
    51.  
    52. Vasari
    53.  
    54. [Reinforcements DLC] Anarkul Command Ship
    55.  
    56. Countermeasure Pulse ability: added pierce value of 60 at all levels.
    57.  
    58. Junsurak Warden: increased each turret’s pitch/yaw firing tolerance by 200% to better track enemy missiles/strikecraft. This will greatly improve their ability to engage off-axis missiles, such as those fired by the Tempest, as well as improving their ability to target missiles that are very close to the Warden.
    59.  
    60. Increased range of ultra-light phase missile from 5100 to 7200
    61.  
    62. Point Defense Pulse Guns:
    63.  
    64. Decreased cooldown from 1.5 to 1 second
    65.  
    66. Decreased damage from 6 to 4
    67.  
    68. Increased range from 5100 to 7200
    69.  
    70. The Warden’s point defense guns were underperforming against the Tempest - faster firing PD guns with unchanged final damage per second greatly improves the Warden’s ability to suppress Tempest attacks despite having relatively few guns for a PD unit. In addition, longer range allows the Warden to screen for the Vasari fleet more effectively from a static position - this will further differentiate it from the short range but mobile Sulsurak Defensor.
    71.  
    72. Update v1.61.3:
    73. NEW - Texture Quality Setting
    74.  
    75. We’ve added a new setting to Settings → Graphics → Rendering Device to adjust the texture quality of units in the game.
    76.  
    77. Adjust this if you’re on a laptop or on Steam Deck, as those systems use Shared Memory for graphics and will crash if you run out of it. This is the #1 cause of crashes for players on these systems.
    78.  
    79. Custom Portraits
    80.  
    81. Updated default custom portrait directory for the legacy AI artwork so users can select pictures from previous versions.
    82.  
    83. Made various custom portrait bug fixes (e.g., garbage elements showing between menus, custom portrait selection not ‘sticking’ between menus/sessions).
    84.  
    85. Updated to allow you to use custom portraits for AI players.
    86.  
    87. Fixed bug where the map generator would incorrectly count planets.
    88.  
    89. Fixed bug that allowed quicksaving in tutorials.
    90.  
    91. Fixed various save game compatibility bugs.
    92.  
    93. Fixed the Map Search bar not working in the Change Map dialog.
    94.  
    95. Various localization fixes (more incoming).
    96.  
    97. Update v1.61:
    98. AI players can now survey planets they own based on difficulty level.
    99. AI bonus modifiers adjusted to help ease issues that get an AI’s progress blocked (e.g., not enough exotic refineries).
    100. Added new AI loadouts subsystem which allows AI players to better pick out abilities/upgrades for all units.
    101. Improved autocasting and AI only autocasting for the Radiance Battleship. It will now use its abilities more intelligently. Animosity and Cleansing Brilliance will now activate in the center of groups of units, while Detonate Antimatter will favor targets that are higher level or channeling abilities
    102. By user request, the original AI portrait art is now selectable for each faction (we won’t judge).
    103. Players can now use custom portrait art in the faction customization section - scroll to the bottom and click the + box. (Note custom portraits are single player only)
    104. Modding
    105. Added two new enums to player_ai.uniforms:
    106. surveying_upgrade_check_interval_in_minutes
    107. Type: array
    108. max_concurrent_surveying_upgrade_requests
    109. Type: positive integer value
    110. Added new .loadout system. Allows you to define ability/upgrade picking order.
    111.  
    112. Update v1.60.3:
    113. Fixed bug that would cause the game to display multiple languages at the same time, if you changed your language setting repeatedly within the same session. This should also resolve a rare hang bug.
    114.  
    115. Fixed bug that would have some tooltips display “inf” instead of their true value.
    116.  
    117. Fixed bug that would sometimes cause point-defense weapons to overkill missiles.
    118.  
    119. Fixed bug that caused units to ‘teleport’ to off the game map. This was due to a race condition in the physics system. Note that there’s a similar corvette bug that is not yet fixed (will be in next hotfix).
    120.  
    121. Map Generator:
    122.  
    123. Added additional invalid characters to name filter.
    124.  
    125. Prevented leading 0s on seed values.
    126.  
    127. Fixed issue that would snap seed to max value when entering a value larger than allowed.
    128.  
    129. Fixed issues with non-English name display.
    130.  
    131. Added new Phase Jamming icons.
    132.  
    133. Fixed bug that caused particle FX not to scale as intended (should be more visible now).
    134.  
    135. Updated Pirate Boarding Crew tooltip to reflect its new functionality.
    136.  
    137. Meson Bolt tooltip updated to reflect debuffs and bonus damage.
    138.  
    139. Transcencia Starbase Shield Booster renamed to Psionic Shield.
    140.  
    141. Flechette Blast ability now correctly has a 45 sec. cooldown.
    142.  
    143. Psionic Burst ability, Psi Power scaling reduced to 1:1 instead of 2:1.
    144.  
    145. Ion Torpedo ability missiles are now correctly named.
