We figured the DLC approach was the best route here.

And the expansion's store page is up!

Price'll be $9.99.  Our first look (of several) into the many new mechanics and expanded systems of the expansion is also available here: http://starruler2.com/2016/04/11/heralds.html

Looks good! I'll be picking it up on the 22nd.

That co-op invasion mode sounds fun.

A new article for the expansion just went up!

Feature Highlight: Atittudes
In this article we show how the Attitude mechanic works and announce the Flagship Experience/Leveling addition.

For more info, click here

So will the flagship levels get reset when you retrofit a ship?

[Firgof Umbra]

Not sure.  Presently (in the non-final build) XP gets reset but level does not.  This might change in the final build.  Lucas is considering making it reset levels if the ship changes size but if it doesn't to only reset the XP.

Perhaps the xp/level should change as a function of the difference in cost between the two ship designs, representing that the crew must become familiar with new equipment, layout, etc

Flash update just went up on the Steam forums, announcing the new Satellite-type for Orbitals and, in particular, the "Ring Habitat" (click for image)

These orbitals must be placed in orbit of a planet, and each planet can only have one of each, giving it benefits.
The Ring Habitat pictured above costs a wad of Influence to construct, but increases the maximum population of the planet it is orbiting.

[Sirus]

Shoot. When I read "ring habitat orbital", I was picturing an artificial ring actually encircling the planet. Not a ring just kinda hanging out off to the side :/

Any chance of that changing?

[Firgof Umbra]

They're more "Elysium" than they are "Ringworld", these Ring Habitats.

New article up!  This one's about the First, the other new race the expansion adds.  We also talk about the new AI and its new configurable settings and how Multiplayer works between people who have the expansion and who don't.

Click here if you want to read more about it!

Also, just a reminder: The expansion launches tomorrow!

[Aklyon]

The First sound pretty interesting!

[etgfrog]

So even if you don't own the expansion, hop into a multiplayer game hosted by someone who does and you will be free to try out any of the new stuff!

I can applaud this method.

Looking forward to the expansion. Are there any changes or improvements to diplomacy?
