Bug Fixes
Sync & Save
- Fixed savegame corruption that would happen after winning certain types of war.
- Ironman mode no longer requires cloud saves. You can also now play Ironman (and therefore unlock achievements) without an internet connection.

Gameplay
- Removed the War Situation Event "Lost Contact" that made fleets disappear.
- The "Control Demilitarized Zone" node for the Federation can now be completed. Game Restart is needed for this fix to be effective.

- Borg Crisis [list]
- The Borg crisis will no longer be impossible to complete if Picard dies before the "The Official" project appears. If you are playing as the UFP and don't have Picard when "The Official" special project finishes, a new leader will now be created so that you can finish the rest of the crisis the same way as the other MaPos.
- Countdown timers and auto-fail conditions were added for Borg Crisis Special Projects so the player will not be blocked from continuing the Crisis if they do not finish a Special Project.
- All finished Special Projects related to the Borg Crisis will now be removed from the Mission Log upon completion.
