βš–οΈ Balance Changes

πŸ›Έ Rooms

  • Cryo Beam (Levels 1-8)Build costs shifted from a flat Mineral price to scaling Gas (1M–4M), and a Gas refill cost has been introduced.
  • Extraction BeamSplit off from the Cryo Beam into its own entirely independent room line with its own upgrade chain. Its physical footprint has increased from 2 to 3 columns , it now utilizes its own missile type, and it shares the same new scaling Gas cost and refill requirements as the Cryo Beam.
  • Hyperspace CoreReload time has been significantly increased (40x slower) alongside its transition to frame-based tracking.
  • Small Phaser (Levels 1-13): Now carries the "Turret" classification tag, adjusting how targeting AI prioritizes it and allowing combo with the Hydraulics Valve.

β˜„οΈ Missiles & Ammo

  • Railgun Slug: Shifted damage profile to focus entirely on Armor Penetration (AP), heavily reducing its base physical and shield damage.

  • Blaster BeamPhysical damage has been slightly reduced.

πŸ‘€ Crew & Characters

  • Character Adjustments: Nana has lost her special ability, Cathulhu's innate resistance has swapped from Cold back to Biological, and Sub-tyrant Minor Third has received an ability tweak.

πŸ› οΈ Crafting, Items, & Ships

  • Recipe Reworks"Assault Armor/Leggings" have been renamed back to Heavy Armor and Heavy Leggings , and their crafting costs have increased (requiring more core ingredients).
  • Item Cleanups: Kevlar Leggings have been renamed to Heavy Leggings for consistency across recipes. Tag cleanups were also applied to several test items.

  • "Gray" Ship Line: Repositioned the upgrade-module grid attachment points across 6 variant ship models (Frigate, Destroyer, Cruisers, and Dreadnought).

🎨 UI & Quality of Life Improvements

  • Battle Damage LabelsAdded rounding math to battle damage numbers for a much cleaner, more readable HUD during chaotic engagements.
  • VIP & Store DisplayUpdated the visual layout for VIP information and IAP bonus displays to make trackable perks clearer.
  • Skin Panel LogicImproved the backend button logic when navigating to the bank from the skin panel interface.

πŸ› οΈ Bug Fixes & Tech Updates

  • Notification BadgesFixed a stubborn bug where the unread message "red dot" badge would refuse to disappear after a message was successfully read.
  • Ship Model CorrectionAdjusted the Y-axis model offset for the Gray Level 10 Ship to fix clipping and placement alignment issues.
  • Pod Visual OverhaulUpdated the visual profiles and missile animation effects for the Boarding Pod and Pirate Pod .
