==Key Changes from Round 13==
'''New features:
*Hard coded exception system – players will be able to apply for an exception from the preferences page rather than having to send an email request. The system will limit interaction to allowed levels.
*It is now possible to hide the coordinates in scans using a simple toggle
*Capture The Flag mode added to allow for events
'''Bug fixes
*Alliance nickname, planet name and ruler name are all now correctly unique
*New planets can now not start with more research than a free planet can get
*Various fixes for going from a main round into havoc
*Various fixes for going from a beta to a main round
*Various bug fixes in round 13 shuffler to prevent early round exile issues
*When someone leaves an alliance time in vacation or time closed will not count towards the 72 hour period that planets must be allianceless for
*When mailing defenders recall mails it now messages the most logical people, e.g. when you mail eta 6 defenders it mails the eta 6 and the eta 5+1 defenders
*Missions page now more clearly displays the ETA for various missions
*Ticker speedups and optimisations
*ETA bug fixed. All ships should now return from battles with the correct ETA
'''Minor Improvements:
*Enhancements to multi-hunting tools
*Enhancements to abuse policing tools
*Enhancements to galaxy banner policing tools
*Enhancements to exile tracking
*Enhancements to fleet admin tools
*Fleet scans are now 100% accurate
*Alliances are informed if they have new mail
*HCs are now informed more clearly if they have new applicants
*MoC can now mail the whole galaxy and all MoCs in the cluster
*After the shuffle people will be able to see the coordinates of those in their buddy pack on the preferences screen
*Research restrictions for free planets is now much easier to configure, including the ability to disable the limitations entirely
*Universe rankings screen will show only top 50 galaxies and top 30 alliances; this more accurately reflects the current game and saves some db space
*Covert ops on closed planets are no longer possible
*html output changed on several pages to improve the look of the Opera text*only skin
*Galaxy system changes:
*All minister must now agree for a galaxy to exile a planet
*Only upgraded accounts can be GC or ministers
*Score limits for resource donations from galaxy fund will be biased so that free accounts do not bring down the limit to much.
*The resources from self exile will go into the galaxy fund of the galaxy that the planet is exiling from
*Buddy packs can now have either 2 or 3 members
*Galaxy exile cost formula: value/10 of each resource
*Self exile cost formula: (value/10) * (number of planets in biggest galaxy - number of planets in current galaxy+1) * (number_of_self_exiles_so_far+1) of each resource
