Can you guys make a feature so that I can invite people to my fleet? If there is one, I can’t find it. It would help a lot for starting friends. Especially if fleet names a long, complicated, or have intricate letters. Thanks!

For feature request please post it on Official: Feature Requests and Suggestions, Thanks. :)

Update by synapse on the Redshift Roadmap on official forums yesterday.

1.4) Fleet Improvements March 15
-New Fleet Hierarchy!
-Leader

Bah, they delayed empire space even further.

Now I have to wait 1+ months for empire space… screw this.

It’s worth the wait I would say as you can prepare your fleet from now with kicking all the inactive players and adding in other members.

Ridiculous, 1.4 hardly has any improvements for the players but fleets……. not even any credit bonus from fleet?

Relax, Be grateful that new content is added at least rather then being negative to everything. Fleets needs improvements before Empire Space comes out as both updates links into the other.

$ynapti¢oin strikes again.

Patch 1.4.7 up

Fleet Improvements:
Fleet Message – Like Tyrant’s Faction message.
Faction Chat Tab – A separate tab for faction chat, so you don’t have to worry about /f
Last Log On – Displayed to help remove people who were active and are no longer
Member Count – Displayed next to the overall Fleet Rating

Ranks:
Leader – Kick Generals, Recruiters, and Members, Accept/Reject Applicants, Change Fleet Message, Choose Fleet Tag (if implemented), Cannot Leave(!)
Captain – Kick Members, Accept/Reject Applicants, Promote Member to Recruiter
Recruiter – Accept/Reject Applicants
Member – None

Fleet Tag – Clan tag that can be shown before names like "[KONG] KStich’ (This cake is a lie)
Remove cinematic NPC battles from Combat log
Reduced Star Token cost for skill boosts

Unofficial Changes
Mining Laser turned from yellow to white

I love the Fleet improvements because now you can set others to accept request to join also you can now kick all the inactive players for new ones. :D

why the heck they keep changing the mining laser colour is beyond me… this is the 3rd change so far…its funny and intriguing

When I saw the mining laser colour change, I had thought it was another glitch but it in fact was intended.

Nope. New version was released March 15 around midnight, and we still only have the once-a-day repeatable: “Gideon Contract”.

Patch 1.4.10 up

-New repeatable missions are up
-We’ve made improvements to the chat server. This may be weird/inconsistent at first but it’s on the path to improvement

Next up 1-2 weeks
-Improvements to response time
-Level 25 cap increase

-New repeatable missions are up

Confirmed. Repeatable missions I found are:

• Gideon Contract (Republic; level 20 & 25 opponents)

DLM Salvage (Labour Union; level 15 opponents)

Reaper Second Wind (Council; level 18 opponents)

Council Exhibition (Council; level 30 opponents)

Precious Metal (The Risen; level 18, 20 & 22 opponents)

Defense Training (Vesper; level 20, 25 & 30 opponents)

… wait, level 30 opponents? Holy cow.

There’s like 3 or so missions which you must kill these council guardians which are really tough for non-token players. :(
