Alliance operations: a weekly goal for the whole alliance, three steps that pay blueprint fragments, fragments and Tide cores to everyone who took part, and banners from bronze to gold. The ship bay grows to 70. A required update.

Faction contracts: work for the eleven factions, earn their standing and blueprint fragments, climb from Neutral to Exalted and wear their titles. Fleet Admiral Voss briefs you on every faction. A required update.
Alpha build 77 - Signal fixes and a crash fix
A crash fix for the sector map, and fixes for deep-space signals: a Signals panel that leaves the map free, dimmed buttons that say why, a view that fills the screen and a mouse wheel that counts every notch. Not a required update.
Alpha build 75 - Deep-space signals and weekend events
Deep-space signals to send your fleets to, fights among turning asteroids that anybody can watch, and a weekend event every weekend, starting this Friday with Tide Surge. A required update.
Alpha build 74 - New battle sounds and a darker sector
Every weapon, hit and explosion in battle sounds new, the sector has a darker deep-space background, and the Shipyard preview no longer cuts long ships off. Not a required update.

Incursion flagships now climb a threat ladder from 1 to 10, with brood waves, surges and weekly twists, and the Relic Forge turns your Mark 5 modules into Relics. A required update.
Alpha build 70 - see what a base throws back
Damage a base throws back at your ships now shows as a short return beam, and every destroyed building in a raid smokes. Not a required update.

Weekly Tide bounties from level 40, and a commander profile for everyone with fourteen medals, titles and your career in numbers. A required update: restart Steam to get it.
