This week's update rounds out the thrown weapon options with a new set of throwing spears. The new spears work similarly to throwing axes but have a no-heat standard attack and can be thrown further with slightly reduced damage.
A big wave of adjustments have also been made to the Millennium Eclipse campaign. These adjustments are focused on smoothing out aspects of difficulty and resources management. Many of these adjustments are not complete in their goal and their systems will continue to be refined with future adjustments and new features.
2.32.0
Major Features
Added 4 new throwing spears across the tiers. Throwing spears are a no heat melee weapon with a weaker but faster and longer ranged throw than a handaxe.
Minor Features
Added a handful of important ship stats to the mech builder interface.
Replaced all biped and quadruped footstep audio with new clips.
Removed the ambient chainsaw weapon audio so it only plays when landing attacks.
Disabled the crosshair rings and pips by default.
Fixes
Fixed a cause of desync that could occur if players in the same session have different CPU architectures.
