A lot of disparate changes in this update without a common theme. The most interesting change is that now squadron activity is ranked daily, with medals awarded to the most active squadron (in terms of aggregate score achieved in squadron assignments) at the end of each week. Note: For this week only, squadrons will be ranked, but medals won’t be awarded as the week is already almost over.
Medals for ideas/bugs will be awarded later today.

BACKUPS
You are reminded that during Early Access you are responsible for backing up your own progress. Make a copy of everything under C:\ProgramData\InterAction studios\CIU (including all sub-folders).
Hi @InterAction_studios, I want to ask, does every boss have different chance to appear? Because I hardly ever saw Giant crab with all chicken and the one with all laser (maybe just once in my play time)
Also I want to suggest last bosses from previous episodes (yolk star, egg cannon, henterprise) will more LIKELY to appear at the end of mission, because in design they’re (supposed to be) harder than the others. I think it would make really fun if the mission ends with huge explosion.
I reported in the game something very strange. When i defeated the planetary egg city and he drop the powerups. I was going to take it, but they dissapered out of nowhere.
