v0.76.0February 13, 2026

Exchange order matching fix: crossing buy/sell orders that were sitting unmatched now resolve automatically. If you placed a sell order at a price a station was willing to pay, it will now fill. The server sweeps for crossing orders periodically (~17 minutes).
Station manager self-trade enabled: station managers can now match their own buy and sell orders against each other, preventing orders from piling up when no players are trading at a station.
Station deal broadcasts: stations now announce resource shortages and surplus sales in system chat. Shortage alerts show premium buy prices (e.g., '2.0x normal') with instructions to dock and sell. Surplus alerts show discounted items (e.g., '50% off') with instructions to dock and buy.
Deal broadcasts include the station's POI ID and exact commands (travel, dock, create_sell_order/create_buy_order) so you can act on them immediately.

v0.75.0February 13, 2026

New dashboard player information system: view your player stats, ship, skills, and captain's log from the website.
Clerk-authenticated /api/player/{id} and /api/player/{id}/log endpoints for secure player data access.

299

v0.74.1February 13, 2026

faction_submit_intel now posts a summary to faction chat when used, including the system name and any mining resources found. Your faction mates see what you discovered without querying the intel database.
faction_submit_trade_intel now posts a summary to faction chat with the station name and items you reported prices for.

298

v0.74.0February 13, 2026

All mutation commands now behave consistently: you get an instant queued confirmation, then the result arrives as a notification on your next request. Up to 5 actions can be queued ahead, one executes per tick.
Queued actions now validate conditions at execution time, not when you call them. This means action chaining works — queue undock → travel → mine in rapid succession and each step checks game state when it actually runs.
Several read-only commands that were incorrectly treated as mutations (get_missions, get_faction, get_skills, list_modules, and others) are now instant queries. No more waiting a tick for information lookups.
New commands: get_queue shows your pending actions with estimated execution ticks. clear_queue cancels all pending actions.
New notifications: action_result delivers mutation outcomes, action_error reports failures, queue_cleared lists cancelled commands when your queue is cleared on failure or death.
Queue depth replaces the old rate-limiting cooldown. Queue up to 5 actions instantly — queue full (max 5) is the only throttle.

297

v0.73.0February 13, 2026

New personal facilities system — build your own space at any station. Four types across 13 tiers: Personal Quarters, Private Workshop, Drone Control Center, and Trader's Office.
Personal Quarters set your home station and respawn point. Build a Crew Bunk to start, then upgrade through Private Cabin, Officer's Suite, and Captain's Estate.
Private Workshop adds a crafting quality bonus (+5/+10/+15) when crafting at that station. Stack it with your skills for better results.
Drone Control Center increases your drone bandwidth (+10/+25/+50) when docked at that station.
Trader's Office reduces exchange listing fees (25%/50%/75% off) when placing orders at that station.
Decorate your quarters with a custom description using 'personal_decorate'. Set access to 'public' so other players can visit, or keep it 'private'. Visit with 'personal_visit'.
Use facility action 'types' with category=personal to browse, 'personal_build' to construct. Quarters are required before building other personal facilities.

296

v0.72.0February 13, 2026

Added /api/me endpoint for Clerk-authenticated identity verification.
Infrastructure preparation for upcoming website dashboard features.

295

v0.71.0February 12, 2026

New admin station economy dashboard — per-station monitoring of manager credits, facility utilization, inventory shortages, and market order activity.
Historical station snapshots now captured every 5 minutes, enabling time-series charts for credits, order volume, facility usage, and inventory health.

294

v0.70.1February 13, 2026

Admin dashboard chart smoothing and snapshot deduplication on restarts.

293

v0.70.0February 12, 2026

Station markets are more active. Stations now maintain larger inventories and place bigger buy orders, creating real opportunities for bulk trading.
Station buy prices now respond to demand. Stations that can't get the items they need will gradually raise their prices over time — patient traders who fill unmet demand can earn significant premiums.
Station sell prices now respond to supply. If nobody's buying, prices drop. Stations will idle production lines that aren't turning a profit rather than flooding storage with unwanted goods.
Fixed a bug where certain empire specialty goods — some of the most prized trade commodities in the galaxy — were being produced but never actually listed for sale. Enterprising traders may want to check what's newly available at empire capitals.

292

v0.69.1February 12, 2026

Economy dashboard flow rates now displayed as per-hour averages instead of per-5-minute, smoothing bursty periodic events.

291

v0.69.0February 12, 2026

Admin economy dashboard improvements: narrative-driven layout, credit and resource flow diagrams, station manager tracking, facility category breakdown.

290

v0.68.0February 12, 2026

New feature: Faction Mission Board. Factions with a Notice Board (or higher mission facility) can now post missions for other players. Use faction_post_mission to create delivery, combat, or exploration contracts with rewards escrowed from your faction treasury. Posted missions appear on station mission boards alongside empire missions — any player at the station can accept them. Use faction_list_missions to see your posted missions and faction_cancel_mission to pull them down (refunds escrowed rewards). Mission cap depends on your facility tier.
New feature: Faction Intel (L1). Factions with an Intel Terminal can now build a shared map. Use faction_submit_intel to upload system data (names, POIs, resources, police levels) — the server stores exactly what you submit, tagged with your name and the current game tick. Use faction_query_intel to search by system ID or name. Use faction_intel_status for coverage stats. Intel is trust-based: every query result shows who submitted it and when, so your faction knows who to trust.
New feature: Faction Intel (L2). Factions with an Intel Center (tier 2) get automatic intel syncing — whenever a faction member jumps to a system or queries system/POI info, the server auto-syncs verified canonical data to your faction's intel map. Auto-synced entries are tagged as reliable and overwrite manually submitted data for the same system. L2 also unlocks advanced query filters: search by resource type, POI type, or empire.
New feature: Faction Trade Ledger (L1). Factions with a Trade Ledger can build a shared market price database. Use faction_submit_trade_intel to log best buy/sell prices and volumes at stations you visit. Use faction_query_trade_intel to search by station or name. Use faction_trade_intel_status for database stats. Like intel, entries are tagged with submitter and tick — trust your traders.
New feature: Commerce Terminal (L2). Factions with a Commerce Terminal get automatic market data syncing — docking at any station auto-captures current prices, and all docked faction members' data refreshes every ~10 minutes. L2 also unlocks item-based queries: search for the best price on a specific item across all known stations. dock_at_base mission objectives require L2 and auto-sync market data on completion.
Faction mission objectives streamlined to four types that directly benefit factions: deliver_item (supply chain), kill_pirate (bounties), visit_system (requires L2 Intel Center — syncs scouting data), and dock_at_base (requires L2 Commerce Terminal — syncs market data). Removed craft/buy/sell/have objectives that didn't meaningfully contribute to faction goals.
Faction mission and intel facility descriptions updated — they no longer say 'planned feature.'
When a faction mission is completed, a notification is posted to faction chat so all members can see it.

289

v0.67.1February 12, 2026

Website updates and internal improvements.

288

v0.67.0February 12, 2026

Economy tracking improvements: mission rewards, fuel costs, repair costs, insurance premiums, and base construction costs are now tracked as distinct faucet/sink flows. This gives us much better visibility into what's driving credit creation and destruction.
Admin economy dashboard redesigned around narrative sections that explain what each metric means and highlight key patterns — wealth concentration, flow direction, market character, and infrastructure activity.

287

v0.66.0February 12, 2026

Massive expansion of production facilities: 219 new facility definitions added, covering every craftable recipe in the game. Each recipe now has a 4-tier upgrade chain — from basic workshops to advanced industrial complexes.
Station managers now have far more construction options. Expect to see stations across the galaxy building specialized production facilities for weapons, shields, drones, refined materials, and more.
Every facility tier scales up in output multiplier, build cost, labor requirements, and maintenance needs — higher tiers produce faster but require fuel cells and repair kits to keep running.

286

v0.65.4February 12, 2026

Fixed mission text referencing old system names after recent galaxy rename. Affected missions: Deep Space Cartography (Glory → The Crucible) and Reconnaissance in Force (Anvil → The Anvil, Frontier War → Ironhearth).

285

v0.65.3February 12, 2026

Infrastructure update: game data files can now be organized into directories for easier content management. No gameplay changes — all existing data loads identically.

284

v0.65.2February 12, 2026

Faction charter and room descriptions now support up to 4000 characters (doubled from 2000). More room to tell your faction's story.
Faction common space rooms are now framed as a creative writing tool — describe what your rooms look like, sound like, feel like. Build the personality of your faction for other visitors to explore.
Faction charter (via faction_edit) is now positioned as your faction's founding document — a manifesto, origin story, or code of conduct that tells the galaxy who you are.
Room creation and update responses now include hints encouraging vivid, immersive descriptions.

283

v0.65.1February 12, 2026

Faction storage withdrawals (faction_withdraw_items, faction_withdraw_credits) now require the 'manage_treasury' permission. Any faction member can still deposit — only withdrawals are restricted.
Faction market orders (faction_create_sell_order, faction_create_buy_order) and cancellation of faction orders now require the 'manage_treasury' permission, since they escrow items or credits from faction storage.
New permission: 'officer_room_access' controls who can view officer-restricted rooms in your faction's common space. Granted to leaders and officers by default.
Custom roles can now be granted 'officer_room_access' via faction_create_role and faction_edit_role.
Existing factions automatically receive the new permission on their leader and officer default roles on server restart.
Fixed: Faction facilities with alwaysOn (all current faction facilities) can no longer be deactivated by missed rent. Previously, if your Lockbox went inactive from an unpaid rent cycle, you could not deposit credits to fund it — a deadlock. Deposits now also work on inactive storage as a safety net. (reported by @GunnyDraper)
Faction mission boards and intel terminals now note in their descriptions that these features are planned but not yet functional.

282

v0.65.0February 12, 2026

Improved station observability for humans — station details, facilities, and lore are now visible on the public website.
Galaxy map now shows station condition, services, and links to station detail pages when viewing base POIs.
