V0.9 — Living galaxy & logistics

The map is no longer empty between your outposts. Other peoples live, produce, and react.

Diplomacy & races

• Race pool with six-axis personalities (aggression, expansion, diplomacy, isolation, warrior, sociability)
• Diplomacy sheet: relations only after contact; labels Hostile → Friendly
• Contact reports (NPC hail or player diplomatic contact); identity stays Unknown until relations open
• System presence plus real NPC colonies/outposts (NPC owners, cycle production)
• Claiming in a contacted race's system shifts Relations (scaled by expansion/aggression)

Economy & storage

• Primary special mining +25%; secondary special deposits supported
• Warehouses: build Tier 1 after Basic Logistics; upgrade to T2/T3 with Expanded Warehousing and Planetary Logistics
• Logistics research costs Engineers (not Scientists)
• Storage: 5,000 base per resource + 10k / 25k / 50k per warehouse tier (stacks)
• Craft tab grouped (T1 Components, T2 Components, Modules)
• Modules: Research → Learn blueprint → Craft (UI and server)

V1.0 (next)

• Harvester raid severity (rank, population loss, inefficiency, dread, salvage)
• Deeper NPC AI and component transport

Playable loop: expand into a living galaxy, manage storage and craft, and keep Relations from turning into a second war while the Harvesters still loom.
