addedNew Class: PhantomThe Phantom class is a brand new class added to The Cruise 2. It charges up its abilities by killing enemies and taking their soul energy. It shoots magic type bullets which can pierce armor easily.
addedNew Class: StalkerThe Stalker class is also a brand new addition to The Cruise 2. It shoots extremely powerful bullets at a moderate pace, it focuses on dealing massive damage with less bullets. Whiffing your shots might be really penalizing if you don't have great movement to make up for it.
addedNew Ally: MenderA new ally: the Mender appears! As stated in its name, the Mender repairs ally ships around it at a constant rate, it can also provide your ship with some repairs as well. It cannot attack enemies, and play purely a support role.
changedNew Ally: ShielderThe Shielder has a lot of health and armor, it also fires off small null fields to destroy enemy bullets. This will greatly help you and your forces. It cannot attack enemies.
addedDialog SystemI have added a dialog system to setup for the campaign mode, you can see it in action when you first load into the game, there will be a new tutorial dialog to help new players. The tutorial dialog won't show up a second time, only the first time you load up the game after this update. Unless you do some file modification and change the value "FirstStart" to true in the "settings.tcrs" file in "AppData/LocalLow/Eternity Studios/The Cruise" folder *wink* *wink* .

Also fixed a bunch of bugs and added some abilities and passives to already existing classes. Tested the game with really bad computers and they still run at 60 FPS... What an achievement. Speaking of achievements, I will be adding some achievements to The Cruise 2. And no, they won't be glitched.
Have a wonderful day (or night)!
