Keyboard controls
Added keyboard remapping for movement, focus, shooting, dodge or phase, and pause.
Shift can now be rebound directly.
Custom bindings persist with your settings, while Reset Keyboard restores the defaults.
Fixed overlapping controls and buttons in the Settings remapping panels.
Cabinet Wonders
Every Cabinet Wonder now begins with a dedicated revelation sound.
A wordless angelic choir and ceremonial bell rise before the Wonder appears, giving these rare events a more mysterious and grand entrance.
Ships and Tactical Draft
Fixed Tactical Draft sometimes losing a held card after moving the hold away and returning it.
Cobalt Guard descriptions now match its actual combat properties.
Fixed the Drone Constellation emblem becoming oversized during Fusion announcements.
Ascendant support drones now keep a consistent combat size.
Aegis Comet, Railbreaker, and Drone Sovereign are better centered against their focus rings.
Ship mastery badges now carry more distinct hull specific visual signatures.
Combat presentation
Dense simultaneous kills now produce one cleaner camera impact instead of stacked shake.
Regular boss attack warnings use a tighter presentation that covers less of the fight.
Pickup audio is cleaner and more positional, without an extra duplicate sting.
