Raider, Journal & Oceanic Storage Fixes

Hostile Raiders can be engaged directly, historical Q-cannon journal entries no longer claim zero resources, and Oceanic planets can store more fighters.

What changed

Raider Engagement

  • Hostile Raider NPCs now show an Engage action directly in the sector view.
  • The X keyboard shortcut now targets hostile Raiders first, then falls back to neutral NPCs.
  • Raider combat now uses the same direct combat flow as other NPC attacks without requiring you to warp out and back in.

Captain’s Journal

  • Historical backfilled Q-cannon death events no longer display placeholder text saying the Q-cannon spent 0 resources.
  • Backfilled/estimated events now say the resource spend is unavailable for that historical event.
  • Live Q-cannon events with real resource-drain data still show the exact resource spend.

Oceanic Planets

  • Oceanic planet fighter storage increased from 2,000 to 12,000.
  • This better matches their large population capacity and high fighter production potential.

What this means for play

  • Raiders are easier to fight intentionally when they remain in your sector after the entry encounter.
  • The Captain’s Journal is clearer about which old Q-cannon events were estimated.
  • Oceanic colonies can stockpile a more useful defensive fighter reserve before production pauses at capacity.
