Hello everyone!
Espionage Update The Espionage system has undergone some changes since the Dev Diaries that previewed them. Based on playtesting and qualitative feedback, we simplified a few of the systems that seemed to be adding unnecessary complexity or were difficult or awkward to understand. The way Encryption, Decryption, and Counter-Espionage all interacted were one of these points of frequent confusion, so we decided to scrap Counter-Espionage entirely, renamed Decryption to Codebreaking, and apply standardized rules when using them: Encryption is always used as "Espionage Defense" Codebreaking is always used as "Espionage Offense" In earlier iterations, which modifier was being referenced varied based on the exact circumstances, which muddled the stats a bit and made it difficult to tell which one would help you more when you're attempting to infiltrate an empire. We renamed Decryption in order to further reduce confusion. Relative Encryption is used often in the system, and will now always compare the "offensive" Empire's Codebreaking with the "defending" Empire's Encryption.  Relative Encryption tooltip. In this example, our Codebreaking is lower than their Encryption and their Codebreaking is higher than our Encryption.  The refined Operations UI. Envoy on the top left, Infiltration Level (current/max) as progress bar & value. Intel categories in the top-right. We've streamlined the Operations UI significantly, reducing the sheer amount of numbers associated with a network and the Operations themselves. As part of this streamlining, we've removed the concept of spy power and bandwidth, so it's no longer possible to run multiple simultaneous Operations on a single Empire simultaneously - you'll have to run them one at a time. This change also alleviates a problem we had where it wouldn't always be immediately perfectly clear which mission random events were affecting, so the "mental burden" of running Operations is lower. Upon completion, Operations will now almost always cause a significant hit to Infiltration to represent lost contacts and heightened security. Operations also used to have varying difficulty per chapter - we've standardized them so we can now list the Operation difficulty on the UI, and let you know if you have an Asset that is especially good at this one. First Contact Update Although not much has changed with the system itself since we first showcased it in dev diary #193, theres still some changes that can be interesting to see.  The finished first contact UI. The silhouette in the bottom-right is supposed to be generic, and will reveal a portrait once youve progressed far enough into the first contact chain. Early hostilities can now lead to pre-contact conflicts as well. If you anger a neighboring alien civilization, theres the chance that they will come and visit you. More aggressive empires like fanatic purifiers or devouring swarms are also less likely to take your encroachment into their lands very kindly early on.  Abducting aliens is no longer a risk-free undertaking.  It seems like they werent too happy about our abductions Outliner Update Weve added some small quality-of-life improvement to the outliner. One of these improvements lets you reorder planets in the outliner.  Planets will be reordered within the sector listing or planet listing, depending on which option is active.  The outliner can also be toggled to show the icons for the designations instead of the icon for the planet class. With these two options it's now possible to list all your planets as you wish, and to show the designation icons. Our product manager, Simon, can now finally list his Mining 01, Mining 02, Mining 03 etc. planets in the correct, and fanatically organized, order. --------- Thats all for this week folks! I hope youre as excited for the upcoming Nemesis release as we are! |
