NOVA v0.9.0

What's New

Jump Gates

• You can now build permanent jump gates between two stars you own, carrying fleets across the galaxy at a fraction of the usual travel time.
• Gates ignore the normal range limit, so a well-placed gate opens up distant stars you could never reach in a single hop.
• Upgrade a gate's speed whenever you like, and capturing the far mouth of an enemy's gate lets you jump straight through it yourself.
• Spy probes and nova bombs ride a gate too when it points right at their target.

Diplomacy

• A new Diplomacy channel lets you broadcast to the whole galaxy at once or send a private message to a single commander.
• Unread messages are flagged with a badge in the game and on the app icon, so you'll know the moment someone reaches out.
• Pause proposals and resumes now play out right inside the Diplomacy channel, next to a status chip that tells you at a glance whether the game is running, paused, or waiting on a pending request.

Account

• A new Account view shows who you're signed in as and lets you sign out.
• If your session ever expires, the app now returns you cleanly to the sign-in screen.

Getting Around

• Tap a fleet in flight to open it in a focused view that follows its journey.
• A clearer "‹ Lobby" control replaces the old "switch" button for stepping back to your games.
