Galactic Inheritors
New Update
Here is the patch notes:
- A crash when renaming fleets was fixed
- Just because the previous alien occupants of the newly cleansed and civilised solar system happened to have exploited a resource no longer means that you do. Your people will do things the proper way now.
- If you deal with the issues in the media screen then the screen will remember this and thus you will no longer see a red exclamation mark in the bottom bar to remind you that there were issues there that you have now dealt with.
- In the Empire Management screen the progress bar now shows the total amount of commerce required to get the next upgrade, so you have the information.
Galactic Inheritors is now Live
It's been a long, hard and fun journey and we hope you'll like the game.
We still have a few things coming over the summer.
Have fun and please continue to engage with us!

Galactic Inheritors: Beta Patch 2 on 09-Apr-2015
In this patch, we've implemented a number of graphical improvements focusing on the map, each solar system and the specificities and unique identity of each race.
We ve also improved the interface by adding a minimap allowing for easier and more intuitive navigation as well as new ships movements lines. a number of balance issues and small bugs have also been modified.
Finally, we've also modified and enhanced the Media system with new abilities and a new interface.
These changes have addressed a number of comments we received as well as a few items we wanted to improve as part of our longer term plan. Overall, we've deviated a bit from the original direction we gave to make these upgrades but we think it will help you all to enjoy galactic Inheritors even more.
Thanks for your support!
