Major Update 3 introduces a lot of new additions to Vector Prime. I will try to list a few here:
- New nebulae, asteroid fields and mineable asteroids (use the random map generator in the launcher to build maps with these)
- Improved random map generator - doesn't stack up players in one system so bad as before
- Revamped spy system:
Propaganda can now be performed by level 1 spies as well to make up for the lack of laser kill-off, enabling you to conquer planets early as well.
Agents: Galactic Civil War Era+Fighters&Bombers+Spy Technologies; they are not stealthy, but allow for early access to spies. They fly a typical fighter, they can attack targets and perform spying tasks as well; nevertheless, they lack the skills of your average fighter pilot.
Spy: Spy ship+Cloaking Device; the cloaking device tech can be accessed under advanced equipment. They fly a lambda class shuttle and have a cloaking device mounted.
- New Main Menu level
- Modified User Interface
- Revamped heroes
- Space Tugs repair damage and collect junk :-)
- Improved AI (could still need adjustment, though)
- Satellite Probes: they are no longer invisible and can be attacked. After you research the cloaking device the invisible spy probe also becomes available.
- 2 new space backgrounds
- Adjusted some minor details... like weapon refire rate
- New ship models courtesy of the FREEWORLDS DEVELOPMENT TEAM. Major thanks to project leader Sushi for allowing us to use their models to replace the old TSH ones.

And more to come later.
Nice
more improvements coming in MU4, but that's still some time away.
