GAMEPLAY CHANGES
Ring combinations
- Every ring combination now give an additional ability. (Use similar to how you currently use your mothership’s primary abilities.)
- Default binds are on keys 1-2-3-4-5.
- Several identical combinations raise the rank of the ability and therefore its strength.
- All these abilities cost Ambrosium, and some of them introduce a new concept: auras.
- Auras are abilities you can enable and disable.
- When activated auras cost Ambrosium overtime until you disable them.
- Building the same combination of two rings on multiple planets will improve the bonus effects of the combination.
- Remember that combinations of Rings now take into account the build order.
First Industrial Ring: Effects how you can deploy abilities, focused on the mid-game.
Industrial Ring:
- Ambro-Turbine (Combo skill). The next skill used within the next 3 seconds reduces its cooldown by 50%.
- Costs 100 Ambrosiums and has a cooldown of four seconds.
- Adds +1 ability rank gives you one more charge.
Military Ring:
- Ambro-Canon (Aura). Gives auto attack a 10% chance of applying an additionnal mark. (Remember that mark can be fire or cryo. The aura applies a mark similar to the last one. If there was no mark on the enemy mothership then it applies a mark similar to the one applied by the primary skill.)
- Costs 30 Ambrosium per second when active and has a four seconds cooldown.

Planetary strategy
- Each planet owned by the player has a linked strategy among three: combat, economic and defense.
- Strategies are unlocked after the building of the first ring of a planet. This first ring defines the initial planetary strategy.
- You can now change strategy at any time with a cooldown of 20 seconds before being able to change it.
- A shortcut allows you to change your planetary strategy quickly.
- Each strategy now gives you bonuses according to the rings built on the planet.
- Each ring will give a different bonus according to the selected strategy. Bonuses are cumulative:
Combat strategy: Adds new units for the lane. Each ring replaces a fighter with a special unit.
- Industrial ring: Mercenary spaceship. Stronger against snipers.
- Military ring: Sniper spaceship. Stronger against sentinels
- Engineering ring: Sentinel spaceship. Stronger against mercenaries.
Economic strategy: Allows your rings to generate ambrosium. Each ring grants a different method of gathering.

- Military ring: gives you a bounty for each destroyed enemy spaceship.
- Engineering ring: produces Recyclers that recycle wrecks on the lane.
Defense strategy: The planet is protected by a shield, reducing damage taken by 50%. Each ring grants a passive bonus.
