Arena 28 is now live for signups!
We’ve added several improvements based on your feedback. Here’s what’s new in A28:
Wormhole visibility
If you’ve discovered both ends of a wormhole, the map will now automatically connect them with a line, making it much easier to plan and execute your strategies.
New Ringworld Defenses
Ringworlds now feature new defensive structures you can build to strengthen their protection. The Halo Barrier increases overall shield output, while the Orbital Singularity Cannon adds a powerful new layer of firepower.
Planet warfare tweaks
With new Ringworld defence buildings, we are also adjusting another defence buildings and adjusting bomber modules mass:
- Temporal Energy Nexus buffed 102K -> 150K. Can be built only on Ringworlds
- Temporal Defence Nexus buffed 25 -> 50. Can be built only on Ringworlds
- New laser defence building available only on Ringworld: Temporal Laser array with 100 damage
All bomber module mass have been increased by 25% (except Nuclear Bombs, where increase is 50%). This means you'll be able to fit less bomber modules on your ships and overall bombing strength will be lower.
Those changes, combined with new Ringworld Defences, make Ringworld defences significantly stronger, and total damage output from single maxed out Ringworld is now bigger than from 5 separate planets.
Advanced Colonization Pods
You can now settle toxic worlds!
The Advanced Colonization Pod is a new ship component that lets you establish a colony with a significant head start. Planets settled with this pod will begin with 10 population and come with the basic production and food buildings already installed.
Unlike earlier colonization modules, this upgraded pod does not impose any speed limits on your ship designs. It will, however, appear deeper in the tech tree, making it a more advanced strategic option.
New Settings Page
A new Settings section has been added, giving players more control over how the game behaves. Additional customization options will be introduced here over time.
Bug fixes, improvements
As always, this new release includes bug fixes reported by the community.
Inactive Indicator
Some players pointed out that higher-ranked empires had an easier time noticing when others became inactive. This was true, so to level the playing field we’ve added a new “inactive” icon to the leaderboard. Now, everyone has equal access to this information.
Declare war when spy is caught
Be careful when using spies against a much stronger player. Each spy mission carries a small risk that the spy is caught and killed, and if that happens, you will also lose your protection against that player.
Edit Ship Design Names
Simple but useful, you can now edit the name of your ship designs!
