Some new stuff mentioned on the Pavonis forums that they're working on internally.

There's some Earth nation changes, but too complicated for me to understand.
\>- Consolidate executive power duration changed from flat 180 days to (75 + number of CPs in the nation \* 15.)
This is nice if you're trying to do early unifications of small nations.
\- Added a series of LEO station spy modules that give bonuses to oppression priority and detecting human councilors on Earth. \- Added a series of LEO station climate modules that give bonuses to the environment priority. \- Added a series of station solar mirror modules that give bonuses to solar power modules on the planet below. The bonuses are constant by tier; the and mass scales with the distance from the sun. These will primarily enable solar to be functional in Mars and beyond. \- Operations Center T2 module switched to 1 per hab and provides +5 mission control, sted +1. \- Command Center T3 module switched to 1 per hab and provides +10 mission control, sted +2.
Solar for Mars might be viable, and cheaper on water costs with the changes to Farms coming where they only reduce crew water use. Could be a nightmare if you then lost the solar boosting orbitals and all your surface habs have to power down stuff.
Ops changes, if they still cost the same it feels like a nice bonus. Each hab gets one and then you add nano/research/skunkworks in the other slots. You might still need slightly more total stations, since you could easily get way than 10 MC from a dedicated T3 hab.
Also, these were listed in an earlier patch( [https://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=29963](https://www.pavonisinteractive.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=29963) ) , has anyone seen what they are?
\- adjusted protectorate space victory conditions \- Added a new victory condition type requiring a T3 fully kitted base in every major planetary system that can support one, to be utilized by the Academy and Initiative. Academy loses GDP on Earth requirement and Initiative loses population on Earth conditions.
