Starless Abyss changes
Welcome back to the Abyss, travellers! The team has been hard at work on a MONSTER update, which is so massive it’s almost out of this world. It covers a whole host of new artifacts, cards, boss rewards, and rituals, as well as some balance changes and bug fixes.
ALSO, we're running our deepest discount yet at 30% off! If you haven't yet made the jump into the vast reaches of space, now is a GREAT time!
We’ve got a lot to get through, so let’s start at the exciting bit:

Balance changes:

A nerf for Astra’s AoE attack from 6 -> 4,
Modifiers offering repairs for free have been removed from the pool
Act 4: Bosses that spawn have reduced HP

Auto release -> Changed to - when heat reaches threshold,
Dual blades -> Doubles damage for all attacks
Increased probability of Cat Event showing up to help achievement hunters
Launching Mines no longer exits Stealth
Resonance buffed to +5 damage increase
Bugs:

Fixed Incorrect text when upgrading ship stats

Fixed Reflective Shield causing a softlock when the enemy dies mid-attack,
When selling artifacts in shop, we fixed that the upgrade panel wouldn't refresh after credits gained
MineField Barrier no longer softlocks when played many times
Fixed the ship upgrade view in stores showing artifacts that have been removed, and were causing a game-breaking bug in subsequent shops
Fixed Chrono-lock, allowing a second stasis to take effect when stasis isn't allowed due to Depth modifier
PHEW.
