I was going to wait a week until releasing this update but I needed to patch a few small issues I found and didn't want to mess with git branches today, so this update lands early!
Execution Matrix - Adds +0.75% critical-hit chance per level.
Phase Capacitor - Adds +1.5% dash recharge rate per level.
Capital Targeter - Adds +1.5% damage against elites, bosses, and capital targets per level.
Overdrive Reactor - Kills build temporary fire-rate stacks, reaching up to +30% fire rate. Stacks expire after three seconds without a kill.
Auxiliary Cores must first be discovered through vaults or Universe combat rewards.
Elite enemies have a small chance to drop a core.
Bosses and successfully extracted Living Capitals have a greatly increased core-drop chance.
Apex Signal Vaults are now weighted more heavily toward Auxiliary Cores.
Core rewards are always Rare or better.
Once discovered for a hull, cores can be upgraded using Credits.
Discovered cores remain unlocked when reforging, but reforging cannot unlock undiscovered cores.
Added a dedicated Auxiliary Cores section to the Universe Hangar.
Every hull can equip all four core types.
Each equipped core consumes one module bay.
Undiscovered cores remain visible, making their effects and unlock requirements easier to understand.
Updated vault reward previews to display the correct minimum rarity for cores.
The last Linux pushed build was incorrect and was missing some features
Fixed an issue where the Grid Breaker boss wouldn't spawn at all and would just spawn living capital every 5 sectors
Grid Breaker warning timer could advance while a Universe intermission is still active.
Living Capital exterior systems, defence deck, and Reactor Heart all receive the new scaling.
Scaling uses diminishing returns and caps at 3×, preventing impossible health inflation.
Why is my cat licking my elbow while I type this patch note....
