Two jumps away with upgrade. You know we have home planet victory condition, do you? :D

A limit to 1 per planet would be sensible too. For like every upgrade, apart civil / military science labs, but especially this one.

Capital ships could even have some kind of (toggle-able) always-on shield visualization for ease of gameplay. Sometimes it's hard to notice / follow focused capital ships midgame (while managing planets) who lost their shields :)

It works for me :D sometimes goes beyond the galactic plane for some reason, but it works.

Well, it's not even 10% in my games :P

Well, you could just call them Heavy Cruisers :D to avoid too much classes.

I guess that the extreme turtleing + intergalactical planet wrecking ability combo would be unhealthy for the gameplay. In return, the loyalist titan looks stronger. Don't worry btw, balance will come after the races.

Be careful, a starbase SHOULD be able to either defend a planet for 120° or block a warpjump lane by 75%. Else it's just a point defense platform, and not a starbase. Orbital building sizes are fine imao, but: Enlarge planet size by 33% Enlarge starbase size by 25% (give it's weapons a 10-15% range increase). Enlarge planet gravity well radius by 20% (25-33% enough, since it's a sphere ~so, x-square).

Overall make them cheaper, and weaker (both defense and offense) by like 15-20% with a little smaller dimensions and more spammable, but not as spammable as the old Javelis LRM frigate and call them Light Cruisers and instead of Univeral Ogrovs make a Heavy Missile cruiser, literally the Kodiak but with 4 missile pods (Javelis has 2) instead of the 4 autocannon pods, and make those pods turn very slow. Make Ogrovs only able to target starbases and orbital building + MAYBE(!) Titans, b

All we need is some kind of fleet tax, like sins1. To help ppl in disadvantage get back into the game with clever play and enemy mistakes.

I like the state of the game, and the general direction :) keep up the good work :) (Any maybe modify the missile cruisers a little bit :P light cruiser / heavy frigate)

After playing a few dozen hours with Soase2 the new missile cruiser change still feels odd. They are too big, too few in numbers and expensive too. I understand that you wanted to change something about the gameplay. But i think that this is too drastical and that this ship class should be somewhere in between the old and the new. Maybe exactly in between. I don't miss the 150 piece clouds of them, but saving up for half an hour just to buy 12 isn't better. Like real light cruisers or
