Development Timeline
From foundation to transcendence - every feature, tracked.
Core economy, combat, and fleet systems
Metal, crystal, and deuterium production with exponential cost scaling and energy balance.
17 building types - extractors, storage, labs, shipyards, and defenses - with queue-based construction.
153 technologies across 4 branches and 6 eras with lab specialization and repeatable research.
Round-based combat with up to 6 rounds, debris fields, and detailed battle reports.
Launch, dispatch, and manage fleets for attack, transport, colonize, harvest, and espionage missions.
Dynamic visibility system with scanner ranges, probe reveals, and fleet-based discovery.
Alliance creation, membership, shared research bonuses, and coordinated diplomacy.
Advanced systems and galactic-scale features
48 ship components for custom vessel configurations with hull, weapon, and module slots.
Intel networks, covert operations, and counter-intelligence with agent-based espionage.
Rare resources harvested from anomalies and refined for advanced construction and research.
Formal war declarations, territorial claims, doctrine bonuses, and peace negotiations.
Construct warp gates between star systems for instant fleet transit across the galaxy.
5 megastructures - Dyson Sphere, Orbital Habitat, Starforge, Sensor Array, and Galactic Beacon.
Galaxy-wide legislative body where alliances propose and vote on resolutions affecting all players.
Dig sites at ancient ruins yielding artifact fragments, blueprints, and lost technologies.
Interactive galaxy view with territory overlay, fleet tracking, and 5 map modes.
Season systems, competitive play, and polish
Public-facing development blog and visual roadmap for players and visitors.
Competitive seasons with rankings, rewards, and a fresh galaxy each cycle.
Real-time rankings by military power, economy, research, and overall score.
Unique trait trees that define your playstyle - militarist, economist, explorer, or diplomat.
Research-tied colony limits (base 3 slots + tech bonuses) and planet abandonment for strategic flexibility.
Sensor-based fleet detection with 4 detail levels, player activity indicators, and dimmed ownership rings for inactive players.
Five phenomenon types now affect gameplay: travel speed, production, research modifiers, and combat defense bonuses scaled by intensity.
Combat engine now tracks real hull damage on surviving defenses. Worker repair cron correctly restores hull integrity over time.
Four guided tours filled: research-intro, first-fleet, combat-intro, and colonization-intro with chained triggers.
Deep diplomacy, economy, and player agency
Persistent trade connections between systems with supply/demand pricing and piracy risk.
Deep espionage with double agents, misinformation campaigns, and tech theft.
NPC factions with reputation, quests, and faction-specific technologies and ships.
Mobile-optimized view for managing queues, fleets, and notifications on the go.
Long-term vision and endgame
Multi-server events where galaxies interact through wormholes and shared crises.
AI-generated chronicles that document player history and emerge from actual gameplay.
Public API for community-built tools, bots, and custom game modes.
