changedI tend to release updates for my games fairly quickly, but this isn't typical even for me. Normally I'd let this patch marinate in the beta branch for a couple days, because there's some significant balance changes, but I had to release it now because of a game-breaking bug that allowed the weapon limit to be exceeded, and I was too deep in this next update to go back to an older version.
changedBalance: This update adjusts the relative power of weapons by shifting more power into the higher tier weapons, both by making them less expensive to build, and by giving them more sustain and damage. Tier 1 weapons, also subject to the reduced energy costs, are now more fragile.
