addedList of UpdatesThe background setting has been redone to be in outer space. As pretty as the procedural terrain was, it was not interactive, distracted from the gameplay, and used up too many GPU cycles. This new outer space setting fits incredibly with the new music in this release, as well as with the graphical style of the UI updates, and is considerably faster to render.

changedList of UpdatesBalancing to some of the late game weapons: (Torpedoes and Railguns do less damage, Size 2 miniguns do more)

removedList of UpdatesMaximum of 100 energy gain per second on all ships (player & enemy). Some bosses are a little weaker as a result. You can still place more power cores than you need on your ship, but they won't actively generate power unless other power cores are destroyed or disabled first.

"Dangerous" & "Elite" enemies: Stronger versions of the normal enemies colored Blue and Yellow, as well as being higher level they have more speed and a higher special ability charge rate. A great source to farm higher level components, especially in Rogue mode
