Version 1.3.4

A stability and polish release on top of Alliance Territorial Control: system monuments now crown your conquered stars, alliance cosmetics can be deployed to more than one system, trades show their fees up front, and a batch of combat, monument, and reliability fixes land alongside a late-game research rebalance.

New Features

System monuments on the star

Alliance system-monument relics now appear as a centerpiece ringing the star of a conquered system, so your territory reads as sworn alliance dominion at a glance in galaxy and system views.
Monument art and its skin variants were reworked to match — obelisks and monoliths now visibly orbit the captured star.

Deploy a cosmetic to more systems

The alliance Archive can now be leveled up beyond level 1. Each level lets the same system theme or monument cosmetic be deployed to one more system at once.
The relic chooser and Archive now show a usage counter (Used X/Y) and list every system a cosmetic is currently deployed to, and clearly block deployment once the usage limit is reached.

See trade fees before you accept

Accepting a trade offer now shows a preview of the market fee — including any allied discount — before you confirm, so there are no surprises on what each side receives.

Ally "moon tests"

Allied alliances still can't wage war on each other, but a member can now run a small fleet against an ally's planet to try moons, as long as the incoming fleet stays under a tonnage cap (1b). Full-strength attacks and FCS group attacks remain blocked between allies.

Improvements

Fleet List now understands alliance system missions: the Exploration tab includes system surveys, the Civil tab includes system harvests, and the expedition/harvest counters count them too. The All tab now hides other players' system station and threat fleets while still surfacing FCS missions.
Ship and defense build cancellation now warns that a 3% cancellation fee applies to an in-progress order (queued orders are still fully refunded).
The Custom Battle Simulation screen was redesigned with sectioned, icon-labeled groups and clearer row striping for easier reading.
Colony action buttons in the colony selector now scroll horizontally so they're no longer cut off when a colony has many available actions.
Stellar Realms leftovers were renamed to Per Regna across the alliance name hint, account-linking share message, and the rate-us prompt.

Balance

Legendary Expeditions research reworked: it now works together with the Orrery to unlock the deepest expeditions — depth 7 at research level 15, with one more depth every 5 levels after. Its cost and research time were increased to match.
Regional Market Control now grants a much larger market-tax reduction per level.
Small tuning: unified Vault storage growth per level, and adjustments tied to the new Archive scaling.

Bug Fixes

Fixed the monument level shown in your inventory and collection to reflect your best owned copy — including monuments already deployed to a colony — while keeping upgrade costs based on the copy that would actually be upgraded.
Reworked alliance relic placement onto a dedicated attachments model, fixing edge cases around which cosmetic shows on a system and freeing the correct slot when swapping.
Improved database reliability with retry handling for transient errors (notably around the build/upgrade queue), reducing intermittent failures and slowdowns.
Additional attack and monument fixes and cleanup.

Announcement

Lifetime Imperial Access is being retired after July 31. If you already own it, nothing changes — it stays yours for life with every benefit. After that date, Imperial Access will be available only through timed packages, unlocked with Imperial Credits earned in-game or Quantum Shards from the Store.
