The CC bonus to allied fleets and starbases in orbit has been reduced in half

so if the base has 10 CC, the owner will get 50% more armour and power, and his allies will get 25%

In the past few weeks, we improved a lot of stuff

The Help pages has been reviewed and more content was added

The Help – Tables pages was improved to show only those items that you can have, the ones you need to improve to get you now have a link to show them

A new text has been added to the base pages (production, construction and research) to show you what you need to unlock the next item, such as more shipyards or some technology

The Cloak and Holo ships had a bug that we fixed, details how both ships works has been added to the manual

Now when someone attack an offline or premium player, a message is posted automatically into his/her alliance board attack page, stating who attacked, where, the losses and debris resulted

We’ve been working hard to improve the Bots AI, to make them able to detect moving fleets, assemble an intercept fleet, deploy and attack upon landing. This will be available within couple weeks, into all servers.  So now a galaxy will be the [iCore] stronghold, usually the 10th galaxy.

The Deathmatch server will open soon, where any galaxy will have the above AI behavior, so a lot of fun is expected to those that enjoy killing

The Speed server will also open a bit later, with the usual features of the normal servers, but things running 5 times faster (economy, production, construction and research).

Thats all for the new year news, mates! Be prepared for a highly fun 2010

Vacation mode is available

there are 2 types of VM, short and long.

Short vacation

• 6 times within 365 days, 5 days length each.

Also, you can enable the Auto VM option, that will start short or long vacation mode if you stay offline for over 2 days (due to connection problem, hardware failure, accident, etc.)

I hope you all like this feature

The spaceports are now limited to the amount of bases you have.

To reach spaceport level 5 on any base, you need 5 bases.
