Balancing

In the Infinite War game mode, it was possible for enemy homeworlds to spawn too close to the player's homeworld. As enemy fleets will spawn from a homeworld, this could very quickly lead to a loss. The galaxy generation has been adjusted and enemy homeworlds now have a minimum spawn distance.
The Hegemon faction (green) had the wrong loot table associated with them. They were dropping far worse modules than intended, and should now drop modules in line with their role as an end-game faction.

Bug fixes

The Linux build could fail to launch in certain situations where the steamapi.so hadn't loaded. This should now be fixed.
Fixed two shutdown crashes, one with the sound system and another with the Module code.
Removed a couple of references to the old "Resource Units".

"This galaxy is ours." — Emperor Elion VII

A fairly straightforward statement, although not one echoed by all of the other factions in the galaxy. HEXTERMINATE puts you in command of the Imperial flagship, under orders to conquer the galaxy. Diplomacy has been discarded in favour of the "more firepower" approach, as 'making friends' is not on the Emperor's agenda. How difficult can it be?

Modular construction
Each ship is built out of hexagonal modules which slot together, including armour, reactors and weapons. With dozens of different types and rarity levels, you build the spec you want. It is your choice how you will tackle galactic conquest: from massive behemoths with layered armour to blitzing sniper battlecruisers. Given that every module is individually destructible, a few well placed shots at your enemy's ships can be devastating.
A living galaxy
The galaxy changes over time as the various factions vie for power. Fleets embark on missions, sectors are won and lost, every game will play out differently. Even in the middle of a fight reinforcements can turn the tide for either side.

Your own fleet
Assemble a fleet to accompany you in your quest, from long range gunships, front-line battleships and support vessels. Or decide to keep all the glory for yourself, fighting on your own against a hostile galaxy.
Perk system
Further customise how you tackle HEXTERMINATE by acquiring perks as you destroy enemy ships: from access to experimental ships to add to your fleet to increased rate of fire for each landed shot, you'll find a range of options to complement your style of play.
