(LIVE) v1.40 "Total Subjugation" Update Changelog

March brings our first major update of the year, and also our first DLC - Paths to Power!

There are many big changes in v1.40: Population returns as a re-imagined game mechanic that integrates with culture, research and resource mechanics. You’ll notice a bunch of new and revised technology and items that support this new gameplay system. On top of that, we’ve added 3 new units to help fill in some sore spots on fleet rosters. The Vasari will no longer be subject to mass missile and corvette abuse thanks to the new Junsurak Warden. Vasari players also gain a new heavy fighter strikecraft for their carrier operations. Lastly, the TEC Stilat corvette returns equipped with some high pierce missiles.

On top of new units, we’ve also added 3 new colonizable planets: barren worlds, volcanic moons and ice moons. A number of units also gained new special abilities in this update. Modders will also have a number of new features to play with which we’ve outlined below. Stay tuned for more information on these. Lastly, we’ve made a major rebalance pass in this version that makes combat feel more satisfying and gives greater survivability to your elite capital ships/titans.

All these new additions mean that we’ve lost save game compatibility in v1.40, but it will resume with future builds. Also, please note that while we’ve tried to include all the details, we did not capture 100% of the balance changes present (a 40 minute read time seemed long enough).

NOTE: This update is not save game or replay compatible with previous versions.

This update won't work with old save games and replays but you can still play them by using the previous version:

If you wish to finish up your game on the previous version, do the following:

Select ‘Sins of a Solar Empire II’ in your Steam Library.
Click the gear icon in the upper right.
Select Properties → Betas
Select 'previous_edition' from the Beta Participation dropdown.
Steam will update you to the latest files.
To switch to latest repeat step 4 and select ‘None’

Gameplay

Population
Population is a new game mechanic that arrives in this update and is heavily lore-based. All colonizable gravity wells have population (this is Trader space after all) and population cannot normally be entirely removed. Non-homeworld populations start the game neutral, with no underlying affiliation. However, a player’s Cultural dominance over a gravity well will slowly convert that world’s population to their allegiance. The more allegiance a player has on a given world, the higher their income rates for resources generated there (credits, metal and crystal) and for research speed. A planet’s population is not beholden to a single master - other players' Culture will influence them as well, reducing the impact of the primary allegiance holder.

Population income effects have been added to tooltips.
Most surface-level research and planet items have been updated for population.
New planet items and research subjects added to all factions for population.
Population will grow automatically over time but can be affected by various technologies.
Population can be killed via orbital bombardment, but never entirely eradicated from it.

New Units

TEC Stilat Missile Corvette - This fast moving corvette equipped with high pierce missiles adds a new option to the TEC early game. Buildable from both Light Factories and the Sova Carrier, it enables effective corvette raids against hardened targets like structures.
Vasari Heavy Fighter - A powerful shielded fighter fielded in squadrons of two, the Heavy Fighter gives the Vasari access to critical defensive strike craft options while minimizing the risk to precious Vasari pilot lives.
Vasari Junsurak Warden - This reimagined point defense frigate is equipped with three PD Pulse Guns and four single Light Phase Missile launchers. It provides the Vasari with a more traditional option for protecting their ships from incoming missile fire, as well as a non-Corvette counter for enemy Corvettes.

New Abilities

Kalev Gauss Frigate: Coil Shock - Fires a beam of electricity that deals shield damage and arcs to several nearby targets.
Javelis LRM Cruiser: Breaker Missile - Fires a Breaker Missile at the target. Breaker Missiles excel at punching through point defense grids using their improved speed and armor.
Kanrak Assailant: Charged Phase Missile - Charges up a Phase Missile to greatly augment its shield bypassing chances.
Vulrak Penetrator: Berserker Overcharge - Causing damage with the Super Heavy Beam grants a stacking bonus to the Vulrak Penetrator for a short duration.
Destra Crusader: Ruthlessness - The Crusader's crew channels the Unity's hostility through their weapons, causing their attacks to deal splash damage.

New Planet Types

Ice Moon
Volcanic Moon
Barren Planet

Rebalanced Random Maps

Added uncolonizable gravity wells to all random maps.
Added wormholes to random maps with 4+ players.
Improved layout and randomization for all random maps.

Survivability Rebalance
All units in the game have had significant increases to survivability stats (Hull Points, Armor Points and Shield Points, as well as the associated secondary stats). This increases combat length to allow units more time to receive and execute the players commands during battle, while also increasing scope to adjust the top and bottom ends of damage output without unduly breaking balance - notably with Point Defense, Missiles and Anti Structure type weapons.

All Corvettes, Frigates, Cruisers and Strike Craft have had their Effective Hit Points (EHP) increased by roughly 45%.
All Capital Ship and Titan level 1 EHP increased by roughly 35%.
All Capital Ship EHP scaling per level will now result in the ship having roughly 95% additional EHP by level 10, compared to an increase of only around 30% prior to the update.
All Titan EHP scaling per level will now result in the ship having roughly 75% additional EHP by level 10, compared to an increase of only around 55% prior to the update.
All Structure and Starbase EHP increased by roughly 100%.

Missile and PD Rebalance
Missiles have received a significant adjustment. Medium and Large missiles now have more than one Hull Point, requiring several hits from most Point Defense weapons before they are destroyed. Some missiles also gained Armor Points, further fortifying their resilience. In order to compensate, missiles are now usually fired in smaller but more frequent salvos - for example the Javelis now fires only two missiles per salvo, but with nearly half the reload time. This adds nuance to the PD interaction and makes it much more visually clear when Point Defense is successfully shooting down individual missiles from an incoming salvo.

Balance Changes

Research Balance

All research subject costs have been rebalanced. Lower tier research costs are increased, while higher tier costs are reduced in order to increase the value proposition of high tier research while gating the pace of early research unlocks relative to fleet and economic buildup. Resource weighting is also adjusted to more heavily favor a faction’s preferred resource - Credits for TEC, Metal for Vasari and Crystal for Advent. Time scaling is increased in order to account for the higher potential research rate achievable via population, and to ensure that the Research planet upgrade is valuable and necessary for acquiring high level technologies.

That's quite a changelog. Looks like the game is going to get slowed down a fair bit, but we'll have to see where it lands.

Soo, the game is slowed down, after a quick reading.
Maybe the starbasases will be a meaningfull defense, not just in the early game.
And the capitals wont melt after the initial salvo.
I have to try it, but seemingly it addresses many complaint from the community, thus its thumbs up from my part.

3 new ships, full balance change, lots of good stuff. The first 3 paragraphs serve as a decent tldr

Nice changes!! keep it up, although Im a bit scared of the advent credit cost increase for ships.

Excited for all these changes - nice work!

I wouldn't worry too much just yet. So far, the population bonuses to resource income look to be scaling economies upward substantially.

I may need to be corrected on the actual values (since I can't load up an old game to verify) but as I recall, a fully upgraded Terran planet (for the TEC) usually wound up producing something in the 17-20 credits/second range (the wiki is showing a cap of 15 before bonuses). In my current post-patch game, the same planet is producing about 53 credits/second with at least one credit-boosting planet item still to go.

I'm sure more extensive studies are incoming but so far, it's feeling to me like the population bonuses are pushing incomes 'much' higher than they were before.

Why does Stardock hate the Advent so much? Lol, just a joke.

Nice changes, there's a lot of meaningful re-balances that I can see, but the complete lack of Advent content remains disappointing. Given you are correcting for Vasari weaknesses with no additional ways for Advent to correct theirs means I'm probably going to be ignoring this one for a while, you are just ignoring my favorite faction.

Luxurious. Just yesterday, while playing with a friend, I complained that the game was slowing down a lot because of Vasari fighters, and today they were fixed. And just yesterday we were talking about the fact that, compared to the first game, the population of the planets has disappeared, and now it has been returned. Do developers read minds?
If so, we would like to see the return of diplomatic pacts, as in the supplement "Diplomacy" for the first part.

Out of curiosity, what's the rationale behind making the Ogrov Cruisers:

- Cost a red exotic for 'every' unit. (I understand adding a yellow to the V. Fabricator cost but these guys? Really?)

- Making their attack operate on an ability-charge system (which doesn't appear to auto-activate if you order them to attack a specific target - at least, not in my current game).

- *edit: Making the charges replenish as slowly as they do leading to a 'lot' (more than a minute between volleys by my count) of downtime. Especially if they autofire at an unintended target.

Again, it's early yet and I'm guessing they may not be working as intended where the autocast is concerned but so far, they seem like more of an unreliable hassle to use now. On top of that, the added exotic/fleet costs don't improve their value-proposition much when other high-pierce weapons are still more-or-less 'fine' when it comes to bringing down structures.

Why are you buffing the gauss ?
When are you finally adding some sort of shield mitigation into the game ? Shields are completely useless as of right now.

Are you balancing everything from a PvP pov ?

When will you return culture to its former glory, allowing advent to finally be played like in Rebellion ? Right now outside from ressource bonuses, it seems like a forgotten feature that someone at stardock felt it was too powerful.
I don't really understand these adjustements.

On the no real Advent changes... population *is* an Advent change. They can now turn off your economy and threaten planets the easiest of the three.

Sorry, I really should have been slightly more clear, abilities are nice, but it just plain sucks when an RTS releases ships for every faction but the one you prefer. I'm sure Advent is doing better, I see those changes, but no mention of new ships remain a disappointment.
