Patch Notes 1.0.20

Version: 1.0.20 (2026-10-24)I. New Content1.0.20New · Side Companion : Click the top-bar button or drag the window narrow to snap it to a screen edge as an always-on-top vertical strip; it auto-folds to a thin edge handle when you move the cursor away and expands on hover. The window stays visible, so idle income and online mechanics keep running — it never drops into offline mode. \New · Bottom Dashboard : Click the top-bar button to shrink the window into a bottom bar showing live ISK / Loyalty Points / total cargo, current action progress with time remaining, and ISK-per-second rate. New · Background Music (BGM): The Settings page now has a 'Music' section where you can adjust volume (0–100) and toggle mute, so you can enjoy ambient music while idle.

Patch Notes 1.0.12

22 days ago
I. New ContentNew · Potential Chip Decoding: A new "Potential Chip Decoding" feature is added to the Blueprint Lab, letting you decode "Unknown Potential Chips" into one of three reward types: Enhancement Catalyst Chips, Skill Module Chips, and Rig Affix Chips. Enhancement Catalyst Chip: A "Use Enhancement Catalyst Chip" toggle is added to the ship and equipment enhancement panels. When enabled, this attempt's success rate increases by 10%. The chip is consumed only on a successful enhancement, never on failure. Skill Module Chip: When activated, the chosen skill gains +5 levels temporarily for 10 minutes (real time). The effect also persists offline (judged by its end timestamp) and does not break online/offline parity. Rig Affix Chip: When enhancing a rig, you can select an affix chip directly in the interface, and the enhancement always succeeds.

Patch Notes 1.0.8

I. Updates (New / Improved) Alliance list pagination: a "Load More" button lets you browse every alliance instead of only the 100 most recently created (older alliances with high member counts used to fall off the bottom of the list). Alliance list sorting: order by creation time, member count, or total building level, with the active sort highlighted. Alliance list search: filter in real time by alliance name or invite code. Alliance list redesign: switched to two-line cards; member count shows as a progress bar with remaining slots labeled, buildings appear as total level and category tags, and the full status is clearly visible. Shipyard equipment "Details" entry: reinforce, dismantle, and discard can now be done directly in the shipyard; candidate gear can also be installed into the current slot without leaving for the warehouse.
