THIS PROBE IS NON-HOSTILE. DO NOT ATTACK. WE COME IN PEACE. [h1]Patch Notes for 15 December 2017 (ver. 21692)[/h1] [b]Changes and Additions[/b] [list] [*]Added new units for the Arda Seed: the Steward, Engineer, and Harpy Nest. [*]Arda Seed will now periodically reinforce, set up nests, and expand from systems they occupy. [*]Added autopsy reports for the Proteans and all the new Arda Seed units. [*]All Arda Seed units now have some inherent self-repair ability. [*]Updated railgun animation. [*]The Ashdar missile cruiser now has torpedo, rather than missile, hardpoints. [*]It is now possible to embark ground units to a Station equipped with assault shuttle bays. [/list] [b]Fixes[/b] [list] [*]Building additional stations should no longer cause planets with Shipyards to lose their production discount. [*]Technologies gained from the Herald or a derelict colony should now be correctly removed from the research queue. [*]Fix for a bug that could prevent Star Harpy Autopsies from being awarded as intended. [*]Fix for a rare bug that could cause stations to attempt to attack themselves. [*]Missile hardpoints can no longer mount torpedoes. [*]Fixes for some sound and animation glitches affecting the Herald and Mediator ships. [*]Stations captured in tactical combat will now be destroyed at the end of the turn unless the planet they orbit is also captured.
