Other Changes
– All of the new content (enemies, pilot skills, etc) other than balance changes are possible to turn off if you would like the base-game content experience.
– We wanted to encourage players to immediately try out equipment they find, so we reduced the reactor power to equip most gear.
– Since you can now instantly equip most weapons without needing an additional reactor core, the reputation cost to purchase weapons has increased by 1 and the store options are limited in the first 2 islands.
– Certain weapons will trigger an additional effect if the primary target is killed by the attack.
– Certain weapons will cause the ground to crack. If the tile is damaged again, it will shatter, destroying the tile and anything standing on it!
– This will increase the next attack’s damage by 1. Highly effective for AoE attacks!
– The cost of unlocking squads with coins has been reduced to account for the extra squads.
- Additional notes: none.
