What’s New in Version 1.0.7?

*** Most Notable Changes and Improvements in v1.0.7 ***

Ships have been adjusted to bring these more in-line, allowing greater variety in strategic thinking. Please see the forums for a full list of changes.

* Colonists in transit between planets of different star systems now appear as “transporting” icons on the destination planet
* Defending spies now have a change of reporting enemy spy activity in your empire.
