Patch Notes

This patch is save-game compatible with 1.1 and 1.11

Campaign Changes

Added a new Nexerelin feature that allows you to change your player faction theme. Access such an option with your special menu (default: X). Let me know how you feel about it or even use it!

Fixed Iron Shell Contacts (that get converted from invasions) not providing missions.
Hartley can now be developed as a Contact provided you have completed Operation World Above. He grants access to a unique hullmod and a monthly frigate. He is also the only person who can produce Conquest XIV on your behalf.
Fixed Celeste bug where she was not providing her monthly frigates.
Operation World Above no longer burdens you with governorship as a reward, unless you want to now.
Passed Wealth Tax Reform: This makes taxes a bit more... transparent.
Bugfixes for some fleet spawns.
Moved several options into the <Converse> option and added disabled options to make sure players are not missing out on certain things.
Updated Iron Shell Bureau image

Updated Yami interaction image

Added 1 portrait.
