# Features
###################

# Important
* Added Defensive Pact diplomatic action that allows you to form a defensive alliance with another empire.
* Non-Aggression Pact, Migration Treaty, Support Independence and Guarantee Independence are now diplomatic actions instead of trade deals.
* Removed embassies and replaced it with Trust. Trust builds over time from having active diplomatic treaties (such as a Non-Aggression Pact or Alliance) and increases opinion by up to +100.
* Federations now vote on wars and new members.
* Federation members now give 20% of their Navy Capacity to the Federation, which makes up the Federation Navy Capacity.
* Federation fleets no longer cost maintenance, but cannot exceed the Federation Navy Capacity in size.
* You can now kick alliance and federation members with a majority vote action.
* Sending a favorable trade deal (such as a gift) will now increase the opinion of the other empire by up to +100
* You can now set a War Philosophy policy. This policy determines what type of wargoals you can use
* Removed War Economy policy
* Colonzing Planets and building Frontier Outposts now costs Influence based on the distance to your closest owned system

* Happiness is now a linear modifier, with levels above 50% giving bonuses and levels below 50% giving penalties
* All Ship Weapons have had their range doubled
* Added Diplomatic, Opinion, and AI Attitude Map Modes. Map Modes are easily moddable and more can be added through mods, but it will affect the checksum

* Grand Admiral achievement now requires a combined fleet power of 100.000 instead of having dealt 100.000 damage in a ship combat
* Alliances and Federations can now vote to kick a member. For the vote to be successful, ( 50% of members + 1 ) need to vote yes (so 3 members in an alliance of 4, for example)

# New - Wargoals

* Abandon Planet: If your policies allow Purging you can force an enemy to abandon a planet, killing all pops on that planet in the process

* Stop Atrocity: Forces the other Empire to ban slavery and purging

Is there some way to turn off the space vomit on the UI? That cloudy mess that travels with your view screen? Its kinda ugly and an unattractive feature and I want to disable it but can't find a setting anywhere.
 
Just like I write at last Dev Diary:

Suggestion - add some information at galaxy map, about primitive races at planets.
Because for now, it is a little annoying, to jump from one solar system to second with searching 'where' are this primitive races.
This will help a lot.

I didn't see anything in the changelog about changing from "core planets" to "core systems." Did I just miss this or did this change get pushed to a future update?

Some many changes. This is great. It alters the way I have to play now. I am going to have to rethink my method.
