2.7 Highlights
Species All civilizations now have a "species" type – you can now play as spiders, zombies, plants, or radiotrophes (feed off radioactive materials). Each species has different bonuses and traits. Owners of the DLC can create their own species, share their creations in the Workshop, and get access to exclusive species.
Search Bar Added a search bar to the Main Game window for Fleet, Planet, and Starbase tabs in the main UI. This feature is useful mid to late game when you have hundreds of fleets, planets, and starbases, and need to quickly find the right one. It also rewards players who write custom names for their fleets, planets, and starbases to make special elements easier to find.
Enhanced Map Generation Updated the game to provide more interesting maps and better player placement. Sectors are closer together for more exciting game play. We have also balanced the Research costs now adjust based on the map size.
