The updates are as follows:
New features and adjustments for all star systems:
The Identity Agreement update is now live. The specific content of the update is as follows:
1) Identity Agreement Name Adjustments: The "Individual Rating" Agreement has been changed to the "Explorer" Agreement, the "Neutral" Agreement has been changed to the "Interlocutor" Agreement, and the name of the "Prospector" Agreement remains unchanged.
2) The Identity Agreement signing interface has been adjusted to a centralized display of the abilities, targets, and rating methods of the corresponding identity, making the information more focused.
3) New Abilities for the "Explorer" (formerly Individual Rating) Agreement
- The "Explorer" now has a new TE technology - "Exploration Ship Relocation" feature. This feature allows the Base to be temporarily retracted into an exploration ship fleet and redeployed at a new location. Retracting the exploration ship will consume a certain amount of Speedup. In the exploration ship status, the Base's Internal Affairs feature and ships belonging to the Base port will be unavailable.
- The "Explorer" now has a new TE facility - "Prefab Module Production Workshop". This facility will be unlocked when the Base is expanded to level 2. Once constructed, it allows the Joint Production Shipyard to spend a certain number of uEcoins to produce Prefab Modules. Upgrading this facility will increase the storage limit of Prefab Modules.
4) New Abilities for the "Prospector" Agreement
- The "Prospector" now has a new TE technology - "Blast Mining" feature. After mooring at a resource node, the fleet can issue a "Blast Mining" command by spending a certain number of Speedup and uEcoins. The amount mined is calculated based on the siege damage inflicted on the resource node, and the resource node's reserves will be reduced accordingly. The mined resources will be submitted after the fleet returns to the base.
- The "Prospector" has a new TE technology - "Sustainable Mining" feature, allowing the utility ship to issue a "Sustainable Mining" command to depleted resource nodes, with mining efficiency reduced to 75% of the original efficiency.
5) New Abilities for the "Interlocutor" Agreement (formerly Neutral)
- The "Interlocutor" has a new TE technology - "Negotiate Control" feature. After mooring to cordial or neutral map objects, the fleet can issue a "Negotiate Control" command by spending a certain number of Speedup and uEcoins to temporarily gain control effects and services of the objects.
"Interlocutor" TE Facility - "Encrypted Communication Contact Center" new facility effect: Increases the maximum number of fleet operations by 2.
"Interlocutor" Cooperation Points consumption rules adjustment: After the adjustment, Cooperation Points can be directly used in facilities of different factions.

- All Exclusive Equipment for Identity Agreements can only gain Tech Points through "Technical EXP accumulation" and cannot use the "Strategic Asset Component Upgrade" feature.
