Greetings Explorers, Today we released an update that addresses certain issues present in the last build. Read on for the full list of changes:

• Improved Performance: Turn processing has been greatly optimized. Turns now process up to 50% faster and scale linearly as the game progresses, making long matches in huge galaxies more playable.
• Fixed a bug that caused the MIRV missile modifier to act erratically.
• Added most bug fixes from Spud Dastardly and WhatIsSol Mods.
• Fix for Gnolam doomstar design attempting to use the “Heavy Mount Modifier” for missiles. It has been modified to use “Heavily Armored Missiles” instead
• Fix for AI making lopsided trades in order to get trade treaties from the player
• Fix for Leader bonus not being added to defender’s armor value
• Fix for incorrect population growth ratio
• Fix for the inability to abort combat under certain circumstances
• Fix for defender armor using the wrong constant
• Fix for Leader bonus not being calculated correctly for the attacker
• Fix for fighters consuming ammo too quickly and returning for resupply too often
• Fix for attacking race's trait (beam defense was being added to the defender’s beam defense)
• Fix for Leader bonus being calculated incorrectly
• Fix for static defenses not healing
• Fix for Leaders’ total cost re-displaying fleet upkeep costs
• Fix for Leaders’ ships ground combat bonuses not having any effect
• Fix for missing "ship repair" Leader bonus
• Fix for missing "spy experience" Leader bonus
• Fix for several malfunctioning achievements

Enjoy the upgrades and Conquer the Stars! [b]Please Note[/b]: If you are playing with mod's enabled and run into issues with the new version, please patch to the 54.11 - Revenge of Antares branch to continue your game with the old mods.
