Post-Match Enhancements

  • Post-Match scenes now display real squad data instead of placeholder/random squads.

  • Full squad performance is tracked and shown, including correct squad names, members, and top squad highlights.

  • Top squad determination now uses actual performance stats, falling back to legacy behavior if no squad data is available.

Squad & Team System Overhaul

  • New client-to-server squad handshake system ensures consistent squad membership and team placement.

  • Squads sync live to the stat tracker, ensuring Post-Match and Match History reflect accurate compositions.

UI & Quality of Life

  • Added a Steam icon in the hangar and footer bar; clicking it opens the ITB Steam page.

  • History panel ordering fixed – results now display in proper chronological order.

  • Updated button styles for Steam and Discord links to match ITB’s icon set.

  • Minor polish to emissive lighting on station gantries for better balance with ambient light.

Fixes & Stability

  • Fixed an issue with armor welding where the simulation root mesh could sometimes be invalid during ship construction.

  • Various backend improvements to squad tracking, Post-Match data flow, and stat propagation for more reliable match results.

Steam Deck Controller Layout

  • Improved steam input control scheme to fix some of the mapping issues when using a steam deck.
