Removed automted empire delete
Empires will no longer be auto-deleted after a week of inactivity.
Guide update
The Guide has been cleaned up a little bit, in terms of both content and styling. There's still lots more to do, and contributions are welcome.
Added Patreon info on home page
Our Patrons are now listed on the home page. If you'd like to become a Patron for IC, you can do so at our Patreon Page.
I like to consider it our Tip Jar. If you can spare a few bucks, even $1/mo goes a long way if we all spread the word. Your support is very much appreciated!
Galaxy pages
Galaxies now have their own pages. They're very basic right now but will eventually be built to serve several functions.
Here is Milky Way 54's page, as an example.
Registration Queue
We now have support for a "registration queue". This is going to change how we handle galaxy registrations. Instead of everybody joining a pre-generated galaxy, people will join *first* and *then* the galaxy will be generated based on the number of players in the queue.
This should help us set up more balanced and competitive galaxies.
This isn't visible yet, but you will be able to see it when the next galaxy opens.
Wider click target for map markers
The circles on the map now have a wider click area. This should make it easier to use when zoomed out.
Bug Fixes
fixed "stay in family" display
The "stay in family" option was not reflecting players' choices on the page, even though it correctly saved.
fixed ended-galaxies showing in gate
The galaxy-gate was previously showing you empires that you couldn't join due to the galaxy being over.
fixed defense report not showing all losses
Defensive reports would sometimes not show all unit losses.
fixed incorrect time info on reports
Reports were not showing the correct time.
