🚨 The long-awaited Beta-3 round is just a few days away — and with it comes a wave of long-requested updates and balance changes.
From smarter combat limits to new player tools and interface improvements, this release sets the stage for a whole new galactic era.
Prepare your fleets, Commanders — the galaxy just got smarter!

New Features & Improvements

  • 🧭 New Player Main Menu
    A dedicated main menu section for your player has been added! Access everything related to your account in one place — Profile, Notifications, Settings, and Statistics.

  • 🔔 Discord Attack Notifications
    You can now configure Discord notifications for incoming attacks. Stay informed without constantly logging in — works for both individual players and alliances.

  • 🧩 Menu Highlighting
    The current main and sub-menu items are now highlighted, so you always know exactly where you are in the interface.

  • 📊 View Other Players’ Statistics
    Curious about your rivals? You can now view other players’ stats — up to three days in the past.

  • 🏆 Updated Alliance Ranking System
    The alliance ranking system has been rebalanced. Check the in-game info icon for full details on how the new system works.

  • ⚙️ Dynamic Production Points Price
    The Production Points price now gradually converges toward 1.0. The further the price deviates from 1.0, the stronger the adjustment effect.

  • 🚀 Combat Value Limit
    A player’s maximum allowed Combat Value (from fleets and starbases) is now limited by their Population Level and Social Level. This ensures that late-starting players can’t instantly build massive fleets or big starbase to gift player levels.

  • 🛰️ Incoming News Improvement
    Incoming attack reports now include a direct link to the Battle Calculator, making it easier to prepare your defense.

  • 🧬 Race Balancing
    The Speed and Attack race bonuses have been slightly reduced for better game balance.

  • 🌌 System Rename
    The system “Wega” has been renamed to “Beshgar Noctis.” This name was chosen by Black Night to honor their victory in Round Beta-2.

3.0.0-beta - 2025-10-19

Added

Auto Production has been introduced. You can now set up to five production queues, so there’s no need to log in at late or crazy hours just to adjust your production anymore.

New options give you full control over how production works:

  • Choose whether to reach an absolute or relative target value for buildings or ships.
  • Decide whether to produce only full units, or allow Production Points to be applied continuously for partial progress at any time.

Plan ahead, automate smartly, and enjoy a smoother Astro Wars experience! 🌌

2.3.0-beta - 2025-08-31

Added: Player-Controlled Transport & Colony Ship Options

🛰️ Transport Options – you’re the boss now

Before, transports just did their thing. Now you call the shots:

  • Conquer – March in and take over if the planet isn’t allied or is “mystery-owned.” Population only shrinks if you manage to wipe it out.
  • Bomb – Each transport knocks off 1 pop. Basically, the “angry space postman” option.
  • Allied – Yes, you can even do the above to your allies. ⚠️ Warning: space politics are hard, and your friends may not appreciate being bombed.
  • Pro tip: Options can be combined for maximum mayhem (or precision).

🏗️ Colony Ship Options – more than just planet squatters

Colony ships are no longer one-trick ponies. Now you can tell them exactly what to do:

  • Colonize – Take over a free planet. Costs one ship, but hey, new homeworld!
  • Disband – Already own the place? Scrap your ships for production points (needs 2+ ships). Think of it as interstellar recycling.
  • Gift – Send ships as a present to the planet’s owner. ⚠️ Just so you know: disband still happens, even if you’re gifting to an ally.
  • Mix & match: Yup, these can also be combined.
