Endless Space 2 – Penumbra introduces the long-awaited hacking
feature, invisibility and the community-created faction: the Umbral
Choir.
The Umbral Choir
The Umbral Choir have been roaming the universe since the dawn of
time, silent observers of the woes of the world. At last, they
heard the death cry of the Endless Galaxy and decided to rush to
the aid of those who suffered.
The Umbral Choir only own a single hidden system throughout the
entire game. They can however expand and fuel their economy by
building sanctuaries on neutral or enemy system anonymously. This
faction heavily relies on its ability to stay undetected and on its
formidable use of the hacking feature.
Hacking
In the new scan view, players can now initiate hacking operation
from a system they own to a target system. While the hack
progresses, the player and their target will be able to set up
offensive and defensive programs to influence its progression. If
the hack succeeds, the attacker will be able to choose among
several potentially crippling outcomes..
Invisibility
Penumbra also comes with new invisibility modules allowing your
fleets to infiltrate enemy lines without being detected. However,
there are multiple levels of invisibility and these can always be
countered by detection modules.
