September 2019 Update

On September 24, 2019, an update for the game was released. This update was massive and effectively changed much of the previous meta. All buildings, troops, technologies, and defense towers have new levels available to them that can be researched at the space base. Accordingly, all troops seem to have been effectively nerfed to allow for these new levels. Duels have been changed and can now only be done to overtake the player directly ahead of you on the leader board. Module packs have been done away with. Module and artifact fusing has been completely retooled. All artifacts are now class specific, either troop, hero, or tower. New ground and space structures are now available. Be sure to read the in game announcements for more in depth information.

On September 26th, the developers posted the following message:

"Google Play Update Issue: Commanders, we are aware that you can't update the game on Android. We are in constant contact with Google representatives and we do our best to resolve the issue.  We hope to open the Galaxy in the next 24 hours.  Players that were affected will get a bonus when they update.
