Now it's time to unveil Update #4 - a milestone we have named The Reinforcements Update!

Missions: Five new side-missions for the main campaign.

• Battle against D-SEC and powerful new enemies to earn unique mission rewards.

• These new missions start to appear after playing "The Way Out" mission. These missions won't trigger on any in-progress campaigns - you'll need to start a new campaign to get them.

Ships: new ships are available on the tech tree and for reverse engineering.

• UEN: Oslo - a light carrier-cruiser, an improvement on the Copenhagen.

• UEN: Bergen - an upgrade to the Reykjavik, with better weapons and armour.

• AdjustedUENKnight Mk II - an upgrade to the Knight, with twice the firepower and improved maneuverability.

• D-SEC: Honshu - a dedicated light carrier.

• AdjustedD-SECWolf Mk II - to keep up with the Knight Mk II, D-SEC are deploying this improved Wolf design.

• D-SEC: Orca Mk II - The most devastating version of the Orca, with tougher armour and an extra heavy weapon slot.

Sector Assault improvements:

• Sector Assault now has a comprehensive settings screen.

• Edit map size, enemy aggression and starting resources to create the challenge you want.

Starmap improvements:

• Station icons: At-a-glance starmap icons for identifying station types without having to click on a location.

• Ship type icons: Seperate symbols for warships and mining ships, so you can tell instantly if you have any mining ships at a location.

• Quick access: It's now possible directly click the ships or station icons at a location to immediately jump to the relevant tab.

Capturing improvements:

• The capture order can now be given against a group of enemy ships, just like attack orders.

• Enemy ships will now prioritise attacking armed opponents, making it possible to distract enemies while you sneak your APCs in.

Move and keep attacking (Alt): outflank ships to attack their less armoured side and rear quarters.

• Hold down Alt when giving a move order to attacking ships, and they will keep facing and attacking their target as they move around it.

• This replaces the previous behaviour where happened automatically, but only after the first movement order given after an attack order.

Improved tooltips for items on the tech tree and mission info screen.

• Ships now list which type of shipyard they must be built at.

• Ship turret sizes and numbers are now included in the details.
