With the upcoming Universe Reset on May 23rd, there will be some changes that are coming that will be important to keep in mind.
Projectile Furtherance
Projectiles will no longer be blocked by targets with less effective shield than the projectile’s damage. Instead, the first target will be destroyed and the projectile will continue through in the same direction until its damage is expended. This change won’t come up a lot in ordinary gameplay, as it’s intended to resolve some undesirable edge cases. The main ones we have in mind are in the Brute Force fight, where a weak envelope or other obstacle can be used to completely counter the boss’s weapon, and in galaxy assault, where various weak obstacles can be used to interrupt base weapon streams.
Station Kits
Attached Station Kits have been renamed to regular Station Kits. These kits can be placed either on a solarbody or as a standalone station. To place it on an allowed solarbody, just click on the planet/moon and then place the station.
Additionally, base thrusters will not decay on reset!

Blueprints
Station kit blueprints, and some others are being converted from high amounts of t0 resources, to equivalent IC requirements.
