New Units
Bellator (sprite by Selkie)
Viator (sprite by Selkie)
Valkazard Kai
Zwei
Raiden EX (credit to Bass & Selkie)
Bakraid
Bakraid (XIV) technically not new, but loadout and function has been completely revised
Bakraid (TT) ditto
Panther - energy-oriented, same slot layout as the old Panther (XIV). DP 15.
System: Mirage Shroud creates two duplicates with 25% of the original's HP/armor for 6 seconds. Copies deal 40% of the original's damage. The system can be cancelled early to swap positions with one of the duplicates.
Ashura
Built-in Hammer plus two melee weapons. The Hammer has light tracking and will attempt to return on impact.
1x small ballistic, 2x small composite.
Note: the old Panther (XIV) has been renamed Caracal to free the Panther name for the new unit. See Balance & Changes for its stat changes.
New Content
Presentation / QoL
Rewrote most dialogue.
Replaced the standard AI portraits used by Dawn, Imelda, Kade, and Sera.
Added MS Paint portraits for Dawn, Imelda, and Kade.
Descent background and city cloud cover now scale by screen size.
Lowered background rotation and scroll speed.
Removed non-ArmaA gear from ArmaA market priority ship lists.
The New Meshan AA market now offers more AA-specific ships.
Optimized VRAM usage.
Performance improvements for custom battles and Aleste scripts.
Fixed an unnecessary method call in the strikecraft hullmod that could cause a performance hit.
Lowered the quality of some backgrounds to trim file size.
Added a memory key to track whether the player began with a sleeper start. (Don't ask why this wasn't already in place.)
Added the armaa_core_independent tag. If a tagged unit's core is destroyed, controls of the ship are not locked. useful for units like the Bakraid. This behavior also applies automatically to any unit with the automated hullmod or a skeleton crew of 0.
Specialized Service Bays now uses the dynamic stat armaa_strikeCraftRefitMod rather than a hardcoded +50%. This is irrelevant to most players, but it means you can build a carrier hullmod that modifies strikecraft refit rate for submods, or for when this functionality gets externalized.
Switched the derelict faction used on Jenius to a whitelisted version.
Quests
Added two new short quests: Red Earth, Iron Cages and Homecoming.
Events & Scenes
Added a new event after docking at Jenius post-Crown of Cinders.
Added a new event after completing Descent (fires after the end of the month).
Added an alternate event if the player completely loses against the TT fleet at the Valkazard start.
Added minor permutations to the Valkazard turn-in event if Homecoming was completed beforehand.
Added missing Dawn–Sedge event scene(s).
Added a small bar event variant if the player opted not to bring a weapon during SDTU.
Added a post-market-dock event if Dawn is present and Yunifer (PAGSM) was recruited under certain conditions.
Added two new Dawn events: one for AI core(s) piloting a ship in the fleet, and one following the last bar event.
Added slightly alternate dialogue with Imelda during Crown of Cinders if the player is friendly to the Path.
Valken III retrieval is now a selectable dialogue option that appears once conditions are met.
If the player gives the Valkazard back to Sera, she can eventually return an upgraded, overpowered power fantasy version. Requires any one of: completing ATAC, completing Descent, or reaching Level 15.
A small number of Pather ships will appear to assist during the first Crown of Cinders mission.
Factions & Markets
Added the Nexerelin mercenary company Primary Colors, with Dawn bar event variations for each member.
Added Exilium as a Nexerelin super ship start.
Added a special custom procurement at friendly reputation with Sera, pulling from all unrestricted ArmaA blueprints.
Added an industry on New Meshan that spawns fleets using mostly ArmaA gear.
Added an industry on Jenius that spawns derelict patrols initially.
Added Immelmann, a toxic planet at the edge of Gamlin's orbit.
Added portraits for the REIC mercenaries (thanks roquetherogue).
Hullmods
Added Exclusive Hangar Assignment — launches all ships with the strikecraft hullmod from a specific carrier (cruiser and above).
Added the Delicate hullmod to all phase units.
WINGCOM pilots can now gain the Veteran Pilot skill (see Balance & Changes).
Balance & Changes
WINGCOM
Pilot progression reworked. Pilots now track XP stat that increases based on their ship's combat contribution each battle, scaled by their reputation and other factors. Skills can be changed at any time in the intel screen, but elite skills will be downgraded.
Once a pilot reaches max level and has a high reputation level, they have a chance to upgrade an existing skill to Elite, if not already at the Elite limit.
Veteran Pilot skill added. Any pilot at max level can be promoted to Veteran by spending a story point. Some pilots also have a hidden knack for flying and may distinguish themselves unexpectedly at any point in their career. Only a limited number of veterans can serve in a fleet at once.
Ships with built-in WINGCOM and the Spare Chassis hullmod gain one extra wing member.
Squadron size now scales properly with modifiers that increase the number of extra craft in a wing. (Tested with Diable and Reserve Deployment; edge cases may remain.)
Removed the block on bomber LPCs for Frigate/Strikecraft.
DP of a unit with the hullmod now increases based on fighter OP cost.
Engagement range penalty reduced:
Capitals: 20% → 15%
Cruisers: 30% → 15%
Destroyers: 40% → 15%
Frigates: 70% → 50%
Strikecraft
Repairs are now finite. Each unit has a non-replenishable repair pool per engagement (50 by default). When landing after incurring damage, DP * hullLevel is deducted from the pool. Once exhausted, repairs cannot be made, but CR and ammo can still be recovered. Can be toggled back to effectively infinite repair via LunaLib.
Added a slight delay to strikecraft launching from carriers initially.
Removed the cap on the number of strikecraft that can launch from carriers on deployment.
Specialized Service Bays' refit bonus is no longer hardcoded at +50% and now uses the dynamic stat armaa_strikeCraftRefitMod.
ATAC
Specialized Service Bays is now obtainable at 1000 progress.
C-Stim Dispatcher moved from 200 points to 800 points.
After completing ATAC for the first time, progress from destroying ships is doubled.
Progress from destroying end game enemies, and enemies with the MONSTER tag, is doubled.
Ground Operations
Ground capable units interact with raids differently: they provide a flat bonus to raid strength as long as the player has at least one marine in the fleet. New formula is fleetpoints * officer level.
Cataphract S-II
S-Mod bonus now varies based on whether the unit is piloted by an officer.
Officer: increases damage to cruisers/capitals by up to 10%/20% based on pilot level; increases flux dissipation, turn rate, and autofire accuracy by 2% per level; increases DP cost.
Non-officer: DP cost reduced by 20% (up to 10 points); 50% reduced chance to acquire D-mods; +10% combat readiness.
Below 35% hull, gain +25% speed/maneuverability and +25% weapon flux cost for 5s.
Ship Systems
Executioner's Mark
Charges: 2 → 1
Turn rate: 100% → 50%

Cancelling functionality added to the decelerate key (thanks Android9k).
Added compatibility fix for Absolute Movement (thanks Android9k).
Kouto ECM
Capacity: 1500 → 2000
Assault Boarding Pod
Mechanics reworked. The pod latches onto the target's hull, dealing EMP and minor hull damage. Cannot penetrate shields.
Once attached, it sabotages weapons and engines, starting at the insertion point and propagating outwards. Each attached pod increases weapon malfunction chance by 1% per shot and engine malfunction chance by 3%.
Only three pods can attach to the same target at once, for a maximum of 9% engine and 3% weapon malfunction chance.
If the pod fails to attach, it deploys its battle armors as a fighter wing and attempts to detonate near the closest enemy.
