Repeated intro

Hello fellow master pilots! It's a new month and a new patch was just released. In our ongoing efforts to make the game more accessible we focused on balancing the scales between experienced and new players this month. For example you now get different types of secondary weapons depending on which rank you have on the leaderboards and we added new weapons that should help newer players to kick some ass more easily. Another huge addition is the difficulty level for bots. When adding CPU players you now get the option to choose between Level 1 bots all the way up to Level 9. This way you can play against enemies at your level and start improving your skill quickly. Also, we finally released version for Mac and Linux. These versions are still experimental so if you find anything odd, please let us know. We want to get them as polished as the windows version as quickly as possible. Here is the full list of changes for this month:

changedMatchmaking bots will start at Level 5 and adjust their difficulty automatically each time you play a game to give you a good challenge withour overwhelming you
addedMac and Linux versions of the game have been added in an experimental state. They should work pretty well but please let us know about any complications you might have so we can make them as robust as the Windows version
