fixedBugs that have been fixedThe enemy AI has been revised and balanced. A few bugs have been fixed. For example, the pirates were able to build new units with almost no resources. Additionally, some units would sometimes get stuck in the enemy base, resulting in far too many units waiting in the base and making it almost impossible to destroy pirate bases (except with the plasma cannon). In some missions, enemy units could shoot through walls with factories, and due to the bug, they weren't automatically attacked by their own units.
changedBugs that have been fixedMaintenance units and worker drones now return to the location where the player placed them after automatically repairing units and buildings. This prevents them from accidentally spreading across the map.
fixedBugs that have been fixedThe bug where you could no longer select the next mission after completing the 3rd mission on Atell (the screen remained partially black) has been fixed.
addedChanges that have been implementedFriendly units now have a silhouette to make them easier and faster to spot. This silhouette is visible even when units are behind trees or buildings. Enemy units also have this silhouette, but in red. This makes units and enemies much more visible, for example, when fighting in the forest.
