- All new worlds going forward will automatically use the new Gaussian attack algorithm.

- A new "Predetermined Countries" mode has been added. (Users are limited to joining a single country.)

- In worlds that use the Predetermined Countries mode, users will be able to use a new "restore" function to return a capital owned by a fellow alliance member.

- Alliances can now also be limited by total sector size.

- Worlds can now be set to allow money transfer between countries, optionally limited to countries in the same alliance.

- Sectors with radiation are no longer mined for materials during the Game Cycle.

- Bombs now have a collateral damage range of five sectors (up from four).

- Worlds can now be set to allow land bases to be shared with other countries, optionally limited to countries in the same alliance.

- Shared land bases appear on the world view and can be claimed using a new helicopter air unit.

It would be nice if we could also put a helicopter on the carrier.
