[p]This update adds ruins from an ancient civilization spread out throughout the galaxy. They can be activated to produce artefacts, ship parts, and process batches. The artefacts and processed batches can be sold in the market, and the ship parts can be used to build a new type of ship. This is the first update more focused on PvE combat, and it is geared more towards advanced players than new players. You can toggle the locations of the ruins with the new ui at the top left corner of the galaxy map.[/p][p][/p][p]v1.2.0 Changelog:[/p]
