New page

A store-and-sustain patch on top of [[Version 1.4.5]]: the '''[[Imperial Access|Imperial Access Pass]]''' and Founder thanks ahead of launch, '''[[Support Vessel]]''' field repairs capped to one hull per vessel per round, stun reduction hard-capped at '''50%''', softer late '''shield-dome''' quantity growth, richer early-realm pirate stockpiles, and alliance rank by empire score so Access spending never pads the board.

Access details: [[Imperial Access]]. Field repairs: [[Support Vessel]] / [[Damage and Shields]]. Stun: [[Fleet Stun]]. Domes: [[Defense Yard]]. Or open '''Settings → Quick Guides''' in-game.

== New Features ==

=== Imperial Access Pass ===

* Three subscription tiers in the Store: '''Monthly''', '''3 Months''' (best everyday value), and '''Yearly''' (best long-term rate).
* While active, the Pass grants '''Imperial Access''', Quantum Shards for the period, '''ad-free''' play when ads are offered, '''15% off''' common / rare / epic cosmetics (legendary and mythical stay full price), and the ability to buy '''building skins with Imperial Credits''' (common 300 / rare 350 / epic 400).
* Imperial Access remains optional comfort — extra queues, overview, shortcuts, automation. It does '''not''' buy combat power, resources, or rankings.
* '''Lifetime''' Imperial Access owners keep Access forever (and ad-free). They can still subscribe to the Pass for '''Pass-only''' perks (cosmetic discount, Imperial Credit building skins, period shards).
* '''Store cutover 2 October:''' timed Access packages bought with Quantum Shards cost more (about 3–4×); '''Imperial Credit''' prices stay the same. Older monthly Quantum Shard–only subscriptions leave the Store for new buyers; existing subscribers keep their period until they cancel in the App Store or Google Play.
* '''Example:''' A commander who wants comfort without grinding Credits can take the 3-month Pass for Access + shards + the cosmetic discount; a Lifetime owner who already has Access can still take that Pass only for the discount and Credit building skins.

=== Founders ===

* Commanders who joined before ads start ('''3 October''') are '''Founders''' and receive a '''permanent lifetime ad-free''' bonus as thanks for early play.
* From '''4 October''' onward, new commanders join as regular players (ads-eligible unless they hold Access Pass or Lifetime Access).

== Improvements ==

=== Support Vessel field repairs ===

* Each surviving [[Support Vessel]] restores '''at most one''' friendly combat ship per combat round after damage.
* Field-repair '''hull budget''' still applies — a vessel cannot revive a ship whose hull exceeds its repair capacity.
* When slots are tight, repairs prefer '''heavier''' friendly hulls first (priority is only a tiebreak), so spare capacity no longer mass-revives light swarms while capitals stay down.
* '''Example:''' Ten Support Vessels can bring back at most ten combat ships in a round, even if their combined hull budget could cover dozens of Fighters.

=== Stun reduction ===

* [[Fleet Hangar Protocols]], monument stun reduction, and expedition safety still shorten stun, but the '''combined cut is capped at 50%'''.
* Reductions apply to the '''full''' stun timer (base and loss-scaled time), including PvE / expedition stun. Stun never drops below '''1 minute''' on expeditions (or the combat floor in hangar recovery).
* '''Example:''' ~1 hour base stun with Fleet Hangar Protocols 20 → about '''48 minutes'''. At the ~24 hour maximum with −25% → about '''18 hours'''. Research + monuments cannot cut more than half the timer. See [[Fleet Stun]] / [[Expeditions]].

=== Pirate stockpiles ===

* Early-realm pirate '''ore stockpiles''' and '''outpost''' shares are richer so Realm 1–3 clears pay better for the fleets that farm them.
* Realm 4 stockpile scale is unchanged. Fresh rolls after despawn use the new tables. See [[Pirates]].

== Balance ==

=== Shield dome capacity ===

* Per-type shield-dome build limit ([[Small Shield Dome]], [[Large Shield Dome]], [[Planetary Dome]]) grows about '''×1.6 per [[Defense Yard]] level''' (was ×2).
* [[Shield Technology]] and [[Fortress Doctrine]] still each add roughly '''+5% of that base per level'''.
* '''Example:''' Yard 10 base ≈ '''110'''; Yard 20 ≈ '''12,000'''; Yard 40 ≈ '''146 million''' (before research) — late yards no longer land near trillion-scale dome caps. Defense tonnage usually bites first on mid-game colonies.

=== Alliance rank ===

* Global alliance ranking uses combined member '''empire score''' (not Imperial Credits spent).
* Buying Access, the Pass, or other comfort no longer inflates alliance place on the board.
