GC Patch #109.3 - Fleet rebalance, fed flags.
*Summary
Detail
GC Patch #109.3 is live.
When this takes effect
The fleet changes go live at the server refresh at 00:00 server time tonight - until then your ships build and fight on the old numbers. Federation flags are available now.
A balance pass across every playable race`s ships. Attack is listed as its four damage types in order - Energy / Kinetic / Missile / Chemical. Defence modifiers are Energy / Absorption / Missile / Chemical. Build rate is the multiplier on a ship`s power rating, and the figure in brackets is how much power of that ship you can turn out per turn.
Fleet upkeep
The race-wide multiplier on what your whole fleet costs to keep in the field - everything you own, not one ship class.
- Aspha Miners: 10.1 to 10.5
- Collective: 3.3 to 3.5
- Terran: 8.0 to 8.2
- Viral: 7.0 to 6.8

- Chimaera: hull 45,000 to 30,000
- Eel: attack 0/25/25/0 to 0/25/10/15, same 50 total, redistributed; build rate 700 to 725 (43,500 per turn)
- D.Hammerhead: Missile Shield +55% to +40%; build rate 8 to 7 (25,284 per turn)
- G.Quartz: Absorption Shield -30% to -20%; Missile Shield -40% to -30%

- M.Flysch: attack 1,500/500/1,000/0 to 1,500/800/1,100/0 (3,000 to 3,400 total)
- A.Aragonite: build rate 12 to 11 (55,385 per turn)
- M.Lakko: build rate 3 to 2 (48,888 per turn)
- M.Chlor: range 6 to 4
Mineral build costs
Most of the fleet has been repriced in minerals, across Terran, Marauder, Guardian, Collective, Viral and Aspha Miner ships. Marauder ships that previously cost no minerals at all now do - the whole race was building for free. Guardian costs come down broadly, and K.Hun-Zen no longer costs Terran Metal at all. Full per-ship, per-mineral tables are on the change log.
New: Federation flags
Federations can now have a flag. The leader uploads it from Federation - Flag: PNG, JPEG and GIF are accepted, up to 2047 KB, and every upload is resized to a small 2:1 flag so it fits cleanly wherever it appears.
Flags show next to the federation or empire name on the rankings pages, the federation list, federation HQ and empire intel - on Classic as well as Nebula and Daylight. Only the current leader can upload or remove the flag, and changing leadership does not clear one that is already set.
