New toys to try out: Anti-torpedo torpedoes and related torpedo-warning systems, new warhead types such as "superfrags", new weapon types such as "Contact explosive" (for the discerning saboteur or suicide terrorist), a brand-new ship type (Mobile Offshore Base (aka "Battle Island")), and more.
User interface enhancements: Players can now observe the engagement arcs of a unit mount, permission-dependent color of targeting vectors, coastline/border fade-out on zoom (as in GE), the manual weapon allocation window can present to the player the "soft" restrictions (WRA/WCS/other doctrine settings), various tweaks to mission editor UI. etc
When an alien spaceship is destroyed there is now a possibility of a floating wreck left behind. A floating wreck that can be boarded and then looted! But beware, any survivors on board won't be too happy with the added insult, so remember, speak softly and carry a big honkin' ray gun.
Injured officers cannot join away missions until they are healed. Yes, even in space no one wants to deal with a worker's comp lawsuit.
If an officer manages to survive to level ten they get to level up any skill, regardless of whether that is intended or balanced.
There are now seventeen new effects for artifacts, suits, and skills. A whole lot of new art has been added, from new shipwreck walls to multiple victory images.
