Gameplay
- Passing ships can now use gates
Gameplay (Into The Rift)
- Ancient gates in rifts now have a higher durability to prevent them from getting destroyed accidentally
- Several objects in rifts now slow down after collisions and being shot: battery stashes and batteries, wormhole generator, weapon chamber and its switches, marker and path buoys
Bugfixes
- Fixed an issue where the scaling sliders for non-uniform ship scaling would be set to zero percent upon opening the menu
- Fixed an issue in strategy mode where fast clicking on entries in the ship list while holding CTRL would stop the sector from being rendered
- Fixed an issue where log files would only print hexadecimal numbers after a certain point
- To mitigate similar issues, a workaround to reset the number format regularly has been added as well
Bugfixes (Into The Rift)
- Fixed an issue where not enough batteries would spawn in rift missions with battery stashes and ancient gates as extraction
- Fixed an issue where Ancient Defense Platforms would shoot into nothingness instead of nearby enemies
- Fixed small objects like batteries, stashes and containers becoming undockable after collisions
- Fixed an issue where the Adventurer could spawn in rifts
