[p]Greetings Lords of Rigel! Release 1.12 is the September update and includes the culmination of performance optimizations and refactoring of the diplomacy AI and the addition of a requested quality of life improvement of adding treaty, relationship, and personality information to the audience screen.[/p][p][/p][p]Image 1. Audience menu quality of life improvements[/p][p][/p][p]We appreciate the feedback from players this month as some of the optimizations had unintended impacts on diplomacy data in older save files which have been resolved. A goal has been to keep compatibility with Lord of Rigel post-early access save files but sometimes data changes can have unintended outcomes. We appreciate your patience with the hotixes. Overall, these changes should help increase performance for some systems.[/p][p][/p][p]Image 2. Beware the warp kraken eating diplomatic messages[/p][p][/p][p]What's planned next?
