Version 1.3.8

A logistics-and-fairness release: pull cargo home with Collect Resources, relocate your alliance Headquarters, save resource templates, and keep late-game building / research scores in line with fleet tonnage — plus harvest payouts that scale with roster size, clearer inbound fleet intel, and a batch of QoL.

Headquarters moves are covered in Alliance Territory → Moving the Headquarters. Harvest pool shares are in Alliances. Or open Settings → Quick Guides in-game.

New Features

Collect Resources

New mission type: send a fleet to your own planet or moon, pick up cargo, and fly it home. Alliance systems, allied colonies, and enemy targets are rejected.
Amounts are decided on arrival from live stock: take a % of full stock, then clamp so a leave-behind amount remains. If cargo is short, the take scales down proportionally. No tax. First fleet to arrive wins the pickup.
Configure a shared rate + leave-behind, or go per resource. Save collect setups locally (QoL). Reports show requested rates, leave-behind, stock on arrival, and what was actually taken.
Open Collect from your own colony overlay, or pick it in the mission list when the target is yours.

Headquarters relocation

A Deputy or Leader can Set as HQ on a connected Division or an Expansion Bastion from Alliance → Territories.
The two systems trade roles and swap everything built on them, so HQ-only buildings (Vault, Research Lab, Diplomacy, Archive, Bazaar) travel with the seat.
When the target is a standalone Expansion Bastion, the old HQ blob must fit Expansion's child cap (5 Divisions) — abandon extras first. An Expansion that already touches the blob is absorbed (old HQ becomes a Division); a distant one swaps so the old HQ becomes the new Expansion root.
Blocked while either system is under siege. Alliance-wide cooldown 48 hours. A doctrine that is illegal in the new role is cleared and can be picked again for free.

Resource templates

Save cargo loadouts — fixed amounts or % of available, one mode per template — under Settings → Fleet, same pattern as fleet templates.
Load them from the fleet cargo card when filling Transport (and similar) missions.

Fleet template leave-behind

Templates can now be marked Leave behind: the amounts you set stay at the colony, and every remaining ship of those types goes with the fleet — useful for garrison vs sortie compositions.

Improvements

Upgrade ×5 — QoL commanders can queue five consecutive upgrades when the next build is under 30 seconds, resources cover the batch, and the building is not at max / blocked. Hidden whenever a single upgrade would be disabled.
Hostile fleet intel — inbound composition unlocks from your sensor rate advantage vs the attacker (types / counts / full). Equal sensors show full composition; being 20% behind still reveals types. The last 5 minutes before arrival bump intel one tier.
Boss loot reports show entitled share vs carried share. Uncarried entitled loot stays on the boss — it is no longer water-filled onto high-cargo haulers.
Bastion and doctrine buildings (Embassy / War / Expansion, Shipyard Outpost, Intelligence Center, Warp Gate) have proper art, including cosmetic variants.
Fleet ship-quantity +/− no longer caps an entered amount at 99,999 per tap.

Balance

Score soft-cap: building and research scores count 1:1 up to 500B, then diminish toward a ~1T ceiling so they stay in the same ballpark as tonnage-limited fleet + defense (~500B). Ships, defenses, and alliance donations are not soft-capped. Profile tooltips explain the curve.
Harvest pool floor: the daily alliance harvest/survey pool pays out in full only once 15 eligible (Realm 4+, active) members are on the roster. A 1-member alliance receives 1/15; the rest is discarded. Matches default alliance size.

Bug Fixes

FCS battles apply class loot multipliers and hangar stun correctly for coordinated strikes; uncarried boss share is no longer redistributed to other participants.
Tonnage-based bully / war-fatigue checks read fleet + hangar tonnage more consistently.
Building upgrades no longer fail with an unresolvable build-time in edge cases.
Latest scout reports look up the stored planet id instead of a brittle JSON extract.
