Universe 5

Status: running (unlimited runtime, started 2024-11-01, 18:00). See Universe Overview for a comparison with the other universes.

Resource speed 1x, fleet speed 1x, build speed 1x, shipyard speed 1x, research speed 1x
Starting resources: 1,000 metal, 500 crystal, 0 deuterium
40% of a destroyed fleet goes into the debris field
1 galaxy, 400 systems, ring galaxy type (system 1 to system 2 is the same distance as system 1 to system 400, system 2 is 2 systems away from 400)
Inactive accounts are deleted after 42 days
Planet-position-dependent resource boost (see table below)
Sensor phalanx range 1x, Iraq attack range 1x

Anti-Vulture System: limited protection after a major fleet loss
Rubberband: catch-up mechanic that reduces build/research costs and thereby also times (activated with a delay)
Warning when attempting to place the 3rd colony in the same system
Honor Points
Adjusted version of Trashsim to enable multi-sims
Tutorial (rewards are activated with a delay)

Maximum moon size 7,199 km (15.15% destruction chance)
Repair Dock: 75% of the defender's total fleet must be destroyed to create a wreck field; the wreck field is no longer visible in the galaxy

Maximizer requirements lowered from Research Lab 8 and Energy Technology 5 to Research Lab 4 and Energy Technology 3
New planet sizes, home planets with equal temperature (50°C), first colony at the average value
Deuterium formula adjusted, expedition change, planet placement algorithm (see Universe 2)

Bad-luck protection for the first moon: with each 20% attempt, an additional X% is added (e.g. 2% per attempt → attempt 2 = 22%, attempt 8 = 34%)
Players are no longer kicked out of vacation mode, inactivity kick from alliance
Repair Dock (roughly 15–30% of the fleet), resource stash (Metal Storage 5 → 5%, Crystal Storage 10 → 10% not raidable), espionage-technology-dependent statistics detail
