Patch 15.0 Shock and Awe
Operation: New Earth Patch Notes — August 7, 2025
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
New Event: Megaship Armada
Alien Megaships have appeared across New Earth. Sound the alarm to your Alliance members! Only by using a Rally will you stand a chance against this new threat!
Feature Improvements
Maximum Outpost Level has been increased from Level 5 to 6. This new 6th Level will double Neutronium Generation for Harvest Outposts, and the Reinforcement Capacity on Strategic Outposts will now be 1.25m Troops. These new levels will require a substantial amount of Alliance Credits to upgrade from Level 5 to 6.
Dropships of all 4 variants can now be increased from Level 6 to 7. These new variants will further enhance their relevant stats, making them best-in-class for each of their respective disciplines. To upgrade a Dropship to Level 7, players will be required to collect Hyper Thrusters.
Rewards from Rally marches will no longer all go to the Rally Leader; the rewards will now be split amongst all participating members, with any remainder going to the rally host.
Contribution points towards Challenges added from Rallies will now be split amongst all participants, instead of going all to the Rally host
