Mechanics and Features: Institutions and Agencies allowing for players to set policies and interact with parts of their empire. Including:

• Science Directorate - make choices about the kinds of technology that are made available to research.

• Iconography and Design Bureau - set the uniforms your empire's leaders wear.

Exploration Clusters allow for exploration to continue into the late-game and beyond.

Improvements to the terraforming system, allowing players multiple methods of increasing or reducing heat, atmosphere etc. in order to make a planet more suitable for their needs.

Multiple maps available, including three sizes of full galaxy map, quadrant-specific maps, and a Starfleet Battles inspired multiplayer-friendly map.

Many new Megastructures added, including Subspace Relays, Fleet Yards and Trading Stations which allow for the purchase of ships, trade goods, relics and rumours and intelligence.

Technology, Economy and Empire Setup: Revamped and optimised technology tree. Improvements in behind-the-scenes categorisation and structure enable a number of mechanics and systems that would otherwise be impossible.

Streamlined economic system eliminates much late-game slowdown without compromising on key systems.

Improved empire and government setup, allowing players to better customise their empires during gameplay, and removing many hyper-specific restrictions on civics, traits etc.

DLC support:

• For players with the First Contact DLC, cloaking will take advantage of the new active states and mechanics, but still provide the old in-combat advantages. For players without the DLC, cloaking will use the old STNC system with evasion and damage bonuses in-combat.

• For players with Astral Planes DLC, exploration edicts will be accessible through the renamed Astral Actions interface.

• For players with Apocalypse DLC, "Heavy Weapons Platform" planet killer ships will be accessible.

• For players with Megacorp DLC, corporate authorities will be available and certain empires replaced with corporate variants.

• For players with Nomads DLC, City Ships and Habitats will use the Ark Ship mechanics.

• Various other small additions with other DLCs.
