⚖️ Balance Changes

🛸 Rooms

  • Cryo Beam (Levels 1-8): Build costs shifted from a flat Mineral price to scaling Gas (1M–4M), and a Gas refill cost has been introduced.

  • Extraction Beam: Split off from the Cryo Beam into its own entirely independent room line with its own upgrade chain. Its physical footprint has increased from 2 to 3 columns, it now utilizes its own missile type, and it shares the same new scaling Gas cost and refill requirements as the Cryo Beam.

  • Hyperspace Core: Reload time has been significantly increased (40x slower) alongside its transition to frame-based tracking.

  • Small Phaser (Levels 1-13): Now carries the "Turret" classification tag, adjusting how targeting AI prioritizes it and allowing combo with the Hydraulics Valve.

☄️ Missiles & Ammo

  • Railgun Slug: Shifted damage profile to focus entirely on Armor Penetration (AP), heavily reducing its base physical and shield damage.

  • Blaster Beam: Physical damage has been slightly reduced.

👤 Crew & Characters

  • Character Adjustments: Nana has lost her special ability, Cathulhu's innate resistance has swapped from Cold back to Biological, and Sub-tyrant Minor Third has received an ability tweak.

🛠️ Crafting, Items, & Ships

  • Recipe Reworks: "Assault Armor/Leggings" have been renamed back to Heavy Armor and Heavy Leggings, and their crafting costs have increased (requiring more core ingredients).

  • Item Cleanups: Kevlar Leggings have been renamed to Heavy Leggings for consistency across recipes. Tag cleanups were also applied to several test items.

  • "Gray" Ship Line: Repositioned the upgrade-module grid attachment points across 6 variant ship models (Frigate, Destroyer, Cruisers, and Dreadnought).


🎨 UI & Quality of Life Improvements

  • Battle Damage Labels: Added rounding math to battle damage numbers for a much cleaner, more readable HUD during chaotic engagements.

  • VIP & Store Display: Updated the visual layout for VIP information and IAP bonus displays to make trackable perks clearer.

  • Skin Panel Logic: Improved the backend button logic when navigating to the bank from the skin panel interface.


🛠️ Bug Fixes & Tech Updates

  • Notification Badges: Fixed a stubborn bug where the unread message "red dot" badge would refuse to disappear after a message was successfully read.

  • Ship Model Correction: Adjusted the Y-axis model offset for the Gray Level 10 Ship to fix clipping and placement alignment issues.

  • Pod Visual Overhaul: Updated the visual profiles and missile animation effects for the Boarding Pod and Pirate Pod.
