New update adds planetary outposts. They increase the production of materials and can be expanded at additional cost to increase the production further. Their construction is optional, but allow to reduce the number of collector needed and systems occupied. Each collector creates one outpost and maintains it. If it is destroyed or leaves the planet the outpost is destroyed too.



Additionally this update will be the first of a long-overdue game rebalance:
- Storage ships base capacities will be increased. Materials storage increases to 8.4M, Gas Tanker to 3.8M and Energy Accumulator to 10.8M. The Shipyard storage capacities are reduced to 2.1M materials, 0.95M gas and 2.7M energy.
- Reduce resources production rates by 50% on average. The same reduction applies to ships construction cost, research cost and the initial amount of resources after a New Game.



v0.7.0 changelog:
- Add Planetary Outposts
- Add indicator of capacity for extraction ships to stars, planets and asteroid belts
- Improve planets, stars and background nebula texture generation performance
- Paginate Market Historical prices graph
- Increase Storage ship base capacity. Materials storage increases to 8.4M, Gas Tanker capacity to 3.8M and Energy Accumulator capacity to 10.8M. Reduce Shipyard storage base capacities to 2.1M materials, 0.95M gas and 2.7M energy
- Reduce resources production rates by 50% on average. The same reduction applies to ships construction cost, research cost and the initial amount of resources after a New Game
- Fix ships leaving the market terminal being placed in another system
- Fix visual problem in the My Orders section of the Markets dialog when there are many pending orders
- Fix incorrect selected ship section on Create Ship Class dialog when the most recent ship class has less than 3 sections

New update adds Alliances and Bounties to Stardust Exile.



Alliances allow ships to not open fire on other alliance members. Systems can now be safely shared between multiple players. It also disables the disruptors effect between alliance members to allow faster travel.
Bounties allow to earn credits by destroying ships. The amount earned for each ship is proportional to the cost in resources of that ship.
This update also adds a new option to the markets that allow to fulfill ships orders directly from the markets dialog. It automatically picks the closest ships to the selected terminal that matches the selected criteria. It is no longer necessary to create individual sell orders for each ship.

v0.6.0 Changelog:
- Add Bounties
- Add Alliances
- Allow Civilization dialog to sort systems by each resource production or by distance to the Sun
- Allow to fulfill an order to buy ships directly from the markets dialog by automatically picking the closest ships to the selected terminal
- Price and quantity fields values will no longer be changed during typing, instead they will be marked as invalid if their content is not recognized
- Open the order details dialog with the same asset type that is currently selected in the Markets dialog
- Improve Research dialog background
- Fix to not allow to fulfill a market order with a terminal too far away by changing the selected terminal in the order details dialog
- Fix empty max distance dropdown on orders limited to the solar system

v0.5.1
- Improve how prices and quantities are displayed in the market
- Market automatic orders are now only for default ship models
- The default max distance for a new market buy order is now 1 day or less
- Fix pending market buy orders not counting towards the ships limit
- Fix visual problems with New Market Order dialog for some languages
- Fix already removed preset being loaded by default in the Create Ship Class dialog
- Small fixes to translations

New update adds Player-driven Markets to allow to trade resources and ships between players.



Trading works by constructing Market Terminal ships that functions as endpoints to the Market. To trade a ship, for instance, it will have to enter a terminal to be on the market. After it is bought by another player, it will be transported to the designated terminal of that player, and the distance between the 2 terminals will determine the time that takes for the ship to be delivered.
The Market Terminal will have to be researched on the Tech Tree before being constructed.
The game now will have a new resource type: Credits, specifically for trading between players. It does not have a storage limit like other resources do and the way to obtain them is to sell resources and ships on the market.
The initial amount of credits will be distributed through automatically generated market orders, that will be refreshed periodically. These market orders are bound to the solar system, so players can either control it directly or the player that controls it can place market orders to buy at a smaller cost from others to fulfill the automatic market orders and pocket the difference. It is also possible for players to arrange a system for sharing the solar system between multiple players, but that will probably be easier to do after the Alliances feature is added to the game.
The update will also allow to start a new ship design from a previously saved one.

v0.5.0 Changelog:
- Add Markets
- Allow to start a new ship design from a previously saved preset
- If trying to open an already open dialog, bring it to the front
