c. Research Points x1
For servers that have been launched, the reward will remain unchanged. This adjustment will take effect in the newly launched "Dawn Exploration Agreement 2.0", "Trojite Crystal Mining Agreement," "Data Rescue Agreement," and "Star System Rescue Agreement" after the update.
Explorer Feedback: Based on feedback from Explorers, we've identified cases where players exploited the Team Pass for profit, which has negatively impacted the gaming experience within the Angulum Cluster. As some Explorers are more focused on exploration within the star system, to better satisfy the gaming experience of all Explorers, we will make the above adjustments to the rewards of the Strategic Partnership Agreement. We appreciate the understanding and support from all Explorers.
5. Added a new ship feature, Combat Damage Effect. As the HP decreases, the ship's appearance will start showing varying degrees of damage.
6. Optimized the Dawn Funding Agreement: After the Star System Development Rating, unclaimed Rewards will be sent via mail.

8. Support for viewing all Identity Agreements when signing agreements in the Explorers System.
