Rift Combat and Sealing Fixes ːsteamhappyː
Outposts and Depleted Asteroid Fields
Incoming outpost attacks are no longer automatically cancelled simply because the surrounding asteroid field becomes depleted and disappears.
If the original outpost remains at the same location, the attacking fleet can still reach it and resolve combat.
Fleets already stationed to defend the outpost remain associated with it after field depletion and can participate in its defense.
Attacks remain tied to their original target. They will not automatically switch to a replacement outpost or follow an outpost that has relocated.
Fixed related checks for vacation mode and outpost management so relevant active missions are still recognised after the asteroid field disappears.
Preserved the original target information for battle reports when the field itself no longer exists.
Colony Abandonment and Ark Projects
Fixed colonies remaining blocked from abandonment after their laboratory’s Ark Project had already been completed or cancelled.
Historical participation in an Ark Project no longer counts as an active commitment.
Laboratories committed to an announced or ongoing Ark Project still prevent abandonment.
All other colony-abandonment restrictions remain unchanged.
Covert Mining Missions
Covert mining missions now use the ordinary travel profile instead of strategic travel.
Their dispatch calculation now uses the same travel-profile rules as the corresponding estimate.
Covert mining no longer changes the travel estimates of other fleets by making an endpoint count as being under attack.
Ordinary attacks and raids continue to affect travel conditions as before.
NPC Combat Loss Reports
Fixed incorrect loss attribution when different NPC ship types shared the same internal combat classification.
Losses are now tracked separately for each actual ship type, preventing destroyed ships from being incorrectly grouped under another NPC ship’s name.
The correction applies to both total losses and per-round destruction records.
This is a loss-accounting correction. It does not change weapon damage, targeting priorities or rapid-fire rules, and it does not rewrite previously saved reports.
iOS Notification Sound
Fixed push notifications being sent without the standard iOS notification sound.
Notifications now request the default system sound.
Delivery and sound remain subject to your device’s notification permissions and sound/Focus settings.
Existing notification-category preferences remain respected.
Omniscience Array Description
Updated the research description to clarify its actual effect: partial visibility of every star system across the galaxy.
Full system details still require scouting.
Updated the description across all 26 supported languages.
This is a description correction, not a change to the research’s functionality.
