MAIN CHANGES
Another content-oriented update (but with a lot of bug fixes and small improvements as well).
Customization options (paintjobs) have been added to the H&C series. New wave types have been added. Squawk Block missions now have a boss. Retro missions have been added. And there’s a new frozen planet environment for missions flown on “Frozen wasteland” planets.
In the mission listing/selection screen (and in your favourites), you’ll now be able to tell which missions you have flown/completed/failed.
Community credits go out to @cook1ee for his Wave Insight idea, and to @RoboCat for the frozen environment look. Congratulations, recruits! As usual, there are medals and key rewards on the way (“when they’re done”).
COMPATIBILITY
This update is mostly backwards-compatible, but you will lose:
- any in-mission progress
- any menu options you have configured
