Planet S recently received a major update that introduced new combat gameplays: Spaceship Combat and Colony Combat. In addition to that, the developers added several QoL changes and bug fixes.
Spaceship Combat
Now, spaceships can attack each other if their respective factions are at war with each other. Spaceships will automatically attack nearby enemies, and will also follow them if players intentionally command it. Spaceships will lose their items when destroyed, so players must protect as many as they can.
Colony Combat
The latest update features a plethora of changes regarding colony combat. Now, players can use spaceships to attack buildings and ruined structures can only be repaired once the colony is no longer in a state of war. By default, defensive buildings will attack the strongest target in range and form a garrison if they are close to each other. Also, players must keep in mind that they are required to destroy all garrisons in a planet to conquer it.
