A lot of little fixes and quality-of-life improvements. Also, this update includes the second part of the spacecraft balancing changes (some of these changes might significantly affect the way you play the game – check the changelog for details). More balancing to come in the next update.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. Your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).

“Feather Brain” and “Mysterious” bosses: Halved number of explosion particles when graphics detail is “low” (@MinhLongBacon Idea)
-
“Flower Power” wave: Subsequent “flower petals” spawn faster after previous petal is destroyed (@SpryterTerraxian Idea)

“Energy Fences” wave: Enemies appear sooner, and descension speed depends on difficulty (@Instinct8 Idea)
-
“Visitors from Another Dimension” wave: Portal speed now depends on difficulty (@Recruit_75 Idea)
-
Attachments are now placed on spacecraft based on frame-quantized alpha (rather than raw frame alpha) – this is the correct way of doing it, however it might lead to line-of-sight visibility glitches.
-
League: Fixed server kicking players when viewing League (caused by player list starting on an opted-out player) (@SpaceDragon @hieudang Bug)
-
Absolver beam’s length is now based on current screen bounds (rather than “final” bounds).

-
To support change above, outlets for Laser, Riddler, Absolver, and all continuous beam weapons (Lightning, Plasma, Positron) have been reworked.
-
Lightning, Plasma, Positron: Impulse direction is now calculated for each beam segment separately (previously, all segments inherited first segment’s direction)
-
Laser weapon: Beam visual effect is now additively blended, and narrow beams fade faster.
-
Weapon outlets: Transformed position Z is now cleared to zero (was previously incorrectly left untouched).
-
Engines now affect maneuverability additively (was previously a multiplier).
-
Spacecraft now have individual maximum speeds (previously, all non-bomber spacecraft shared the same speed)
-
Bomber spacecraft: Maximum power limit is now 14/16/18 (was 16/18/20) (@Enhawk Idea)
-
Bomber spacecraft: Collision radius is now 26/28/30 (was 28/30/32) (@Enhawk Idea)
