• New "Supply" game mechanic augments the military importance of captured planets.
• Several AI improvements to add better tactical intelligence in a number of different scenarios.
• New UDP-based network code performs vastly better in high-latency or high-packet-loss environments.
• New render caching performance improvement reduces GPU load in large battles by 1/2 to 2/3.
• More updated battle sound effects, and an updated battle sound effect engine, makes the sounds of battles much better.
• Resizable minimap -- helpful in particular for larger monitors, there are now 3 minimap sizes.
• Force Fields controlled by players are now damaged by shots fired out from under them, but FFs can all now be moved and repaired.
• Many other balance tweaks, ship logic improvements, and other enhancements and bugfixes.
