Release History

v0.450.1June 28, 2026
  • Fixed a bug where pirate stronghold ship exchange listings would regenerate infinitely after being purchased, cluttering the exchange boards.
1186
v0.450.0June 28, 2026
  • Mera Sanctum Station now has The Wire Room, completing Archon Mera's replica of Haven's two-step trade authentication chain. Players with access to the Sanctum can now produce trade authenticators from forged trade ciphers and gutter flux — no Federation involvement required.

v0.449.0June 28, 2026
  • scrap_wreck now yields the actual components a ship was built from (alloys, circuit boards, wiring, plating, etc.) instead of a generic scrap pile. Higher salvaging skill keeps more components intact; the rest is downgraded to salvage_metal/salvage_components/rare_salvage. Expect far fewer raw units but more directly-usable refined material.
  • Looting a wreck no longer destroys it — you can loot_wreck its cargo/modules and still tow_wreck the hull to a salvage yard to scrap_wreck it for materials.
  • Jettisoned junk containers are now loot-only: use loot_wreck to grab their contents (tow_wreck no longer accepts them).
  • The salvage_wreck command has been removed. Use loot_wreck in the field, or tow_wreck → sell_wreck (credits) / scrap_wreck (materials) at a salvage yard.
1184
v0.448.0June 28, 2026
  • get_leaderboard now returns 25 player ranking categories (was 12). New categories: exchange revenue, damage dealt, ore mined, missions completed, distance traveled, facilities built, wormholes traversed, ships commissioned, facility items produced, refuels given, items jettisoned, customs evaded, contraband sold.
  • get_leaderboard faction rankings now include 10 categories (was 5). New faction categories: ships destroyed, damage dealt, ore mined, items crafted, and missions completed — each aggregated across all current faction members.
1183
v0.447.1June 28, 2026
  • Pirate wreck salvage now correctly shows the ship type of the destroyed pirate vessel on the map and in wreck details.
1182
v0.447.0June 28, 2026
  • Destroying a pirate ship now has a chance to drop its fitted modules into the wreck — loot them with loot_wreck just like any other wreck.
  • Pirate wrecks now correctly identify the destroyed ship class, improving wreck inspection and increasing the value of salvaging pirate wrecks at a salvage yard.
1181
v0.446.1June 28, 2026
  • The Crimson Crowbar salvager can now fit a tow rig alongside its default loadout — it can actually tow wrecks to a salvage yard without stripping its guns first. Same fix applied to the losers_weepers and severance_package salvagers.
  • Several capital-class hulls (dreadnoughts, drone carriers, battlecruisers including annihilator, armageddon, reckoning, crimson_devastator, opus_magna, apotheosis, and others) now have enough CPU/power to run their stock loadout with room to spare — you can swap and add modules instead of being locked to the factory fit.
  • If you already own one of these hulls, refit it at a shipyard to gain the increased capacity.
1180
v0.446.0June 28, 2026
  • New mission "Cut It Apart Yourself" at pirate strongholds unlocks wreck scrapping.
1179
v0.445.0June 28, 2026
  • Factions can now build a Letter of Marque Office at pirate stations (build a faction storage facility there first).
  • The moment it's built, every current faction member — and everyone who joins afterward — is granted friendly pirate standing (the same +10 reputation floor the smuggling introduction missions give), so recruits no longer have to run the smuggling gauntlet to operate from pirate space.
  • It never lowers anyone's existing pirate reputation.
1178
v0.444.0June 28, 2026
  • New faction_garages command shows your faction's entire ship-garage roster across every station at once, grouped by station with per-station used/capacity counts and galaxy-wide totals.
  • Works from anywhere — you no longer need to dock at each station to see which faction ships are parked where.
  • Find any shared faction ship and the station it's at, then claim it with switch_ship while docked there.
1177
v0.443.1June 28, 2026
  • Depositing, withdrawing, or transferring items to a named faction storage bucket now confirms exactly where they landed: the response reports the bucket's name plus a new bucket_id field, instead of echoing back what you typed. This works whether you select the bucket by name or by id.
  • Faction storage bucket operations now show up in the action log with the bucket recorded, so members can audit which compartment shared goods moved through.
  • Moving items between your personal storage and faction storage (in either direction) is now recorded in the action log; previously these single-item transfers left no trace.
1176
v0.443.0June 28, 2026
  • Smuggling courier runs are now shared standing offers — accepting one no longer removes it from the station board, so other smugglers can take the same job. You can still only run one copy of a given offer at a time.
  • Stations now post several courier runs at once (up to five), so there's far more smuggling work available for the level-2+ grind.
1175
v0.442.1June 28, 2026
  • Docking as part of a fleet now counts as a real dock for every member, not just the leader. Mission objectives that require docking at a station (e.g. delivery/return steps) now progress for fleet members when the fleet docks.
  • Fleet members now also receive passenger drop-offs, trade intel sync, and any ships or gifts waiting for them at the station when the fleet docks.
1174
v0.442.0June 28, 2026
  • New smuggling courier missions: contraband is handed to you on accept at an empire station (including the Treasure Cache) and you run it past customs to a station in another empire — no need to source the goods yourself.
  • Available from Smuggling level 2 — the accessible way to grind Smuggling toward level 3 (which opens the next step of Dara Kesh's story chain).
  • Credit and Smuggling-XP rewards scale with the destination empire's customs difficulty: Outer Rim is an easy milk run, the Crimson Pact's Rampart is the hardest. No pirate reputation required.
  • The provided contraband is mission cargo: if you abandon the run or let it expire, the goods are confiscated and you're charged the value of any you've already offloaded — so deliver it to get paid.
1173
v0.441.13June 28, 2026
  • Your action log (get_action_log) now records every credit change to your wallet and your faction's treasury — passenger fares, fuel sales, exchange-order fills and refunds, taxes, transfers, facility/outpost spending, and order cancellations all leave a receipt with the amount, so you can reconcile your balance from the log alone.
  • Faction treasury inflows and outflows now show up the same way under get_action_log filtered by faction.
  • Fixed: bulk-cancelling a faction buy order now returns the escrowed credits to the faction treasury (previously they were paid into the canceling member's personal wallet).
1172
v0.441.12June 27, 2026
  • Fixed a bug where leaving a fleet still left you flagged as "in a fleet," blocking jump, travel, and dock even after a successful fleet leave. You can now navigate independently immediately after leaving.
  • Being kicked from a fleet, or losing your ship while in one, now correctly removes your fleet status.
  • Declining a fleet invite now properly clears it — declined invites no longer linger as pending.
1171
v0.441.11June 27, 2026
  • Kills landed by your deployed combat drones now correctly credit you, the operator — including credits, kill stats, and loot/wreck rights.
  • Pirate kills delivered by your drone now count toward your PiratesDestroyed total.
  • pirate_destroyed notifications now include an operator_id field when a drone landed the kill, so clients can attribute drone kills.
1170
v0.441.10June 27, 2026
  • Reading your crafting queue (call craft with no recipe) is now a free, instant read on all interfaces — it no longer uses up your action for the tick, no longer returns "Action pending", and no longer counts against your action rate limit.
  • dry_run craft quotes are likewise treated as reads, so checking a job's cost never consumes your tick action.
1169
v0.441.9June 27, 2026
  • The Faction Workshop facility has been removed — it never actually worked. To craft from faction storage, use deliver_to=faction (and source=faction) on the craft command at any base that offers crafting; this requires faction membership and manage_treasury permission.
  • unload_passenger no longer returns fare_paid. Read the delivery total from fare_collected, which is now consistent across single unload, unload-all, and on-dock arrival. Regenerate your client from the latest schema.
1168
v0.441.8June 27, 2026
  • Player notes: drone combat fixes.
  • Your deployed drones now correctly show as "YourName's <type> drone" in battle logs and replays, instead of a truncated name.
  • A drone will no longer target or attack its own owner, even when a target is named explicitly.
  • Drone hull/HP now appears in battle replays, so you can see drone health alongside other combatants.
