This build represents our complete Alpha Build. This means that all core systems are in, and functional without blockers. From here builds will see less new features and more polish, iteration, and tuning to get to our final gameplay experience.
Please note that some levels of controller support are still a work in progress.
**Deployable Station Updates**
* Deployable Stations now have a Lifetime Radial Timer that shows how long is left before the Station is destroyed
***Mine Station***
* Overall functionality has been updated to be more of a Mine Field Creator
* * The Station will spawn an initial set of Mines, and then more periodically until it is destroyed or the lifetime expires.
* Visually, this BP also got its own kitbashed mesh
**Ping Overlay Updates**
* Ping Overlay for the Targets will now match the color of the star in the system
* * This means there will be one consistent color for all the Targets
* * This also means the idea of Tiers has also been removed
* * The chance to spawn resources is not purely based on a chance float
* * The Player can increase this chance by ensuring that Targets are pinged with their scanner or Sensor Deployable Stations
