## ■ Match Overall
### New Additions
- Added three types of extra difficulty Grand Prix.
- When secondary lock-on is complete, the target's structure, energy, and heat are now displayed.
### Changes・Adjustments
- Shield system has been revamped.
It is now a gauge system that recovers over time and gradually decreases with damage taken; when the gauge reaches zero, it breaks.
While the shield remains, damage is basically reduced to zero.
Except for special shot, they do not penetrate shields; each shot type has a set damage ratio against shields.
- Structure is now treated as a shield proportionally (individual module shield parameters have been removed).
When the shield breaks, a short damage nullification effect is granted, and any excess damage beyond the break is applied to structure.
- Shot rapid-fire management has been changed to an "emitter load" system.
Load accumulates per emitter, and when it reaches the limit, it cannot be used until it recovers. Additionally, with rapid-fire performance high / ultra, EN consumption and load increase.
- All shot types have been rebalanced.
Each emitter's weight and gatling barrels have also been adjusted.
- Battle rules now add points for players who assisted in a defeat (assist points) and bonus points for defeating an opponent ranked 3rd or higher (displayed in defeat notifications).
- Hit detection for burst shot has been changed; if they are too far from the main body, damage decreases based on distance.
- Out-of-course recovery and grounding processes have been comprehensively improved, reducing errors and snagging.
- Out-of-course assistance and cornering assistance have been removed; instead, a process that draws the vehicle back to the circuit when going off-course has been added.
### Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue where burst bullet sound effects would not play correctly.
- Fixed an issue where parameter display was incorrect when assigning a charge attribute to laser shot.
- Fixed an issue in battle rules where points could be internally deducted even if the player had 0 points.
- Fixed an issue where processing would not activate when the AI used area grenades while not locked on.
- Fixed an issue where a reference error occurred during drone attacks (e.g., sluggish behavior in test mode).
- Fixed an issue where module animations would persist at the end of a match.

## ■ Controls・Effects
### Changes・Adjustments
- In-match UI has been revamped.
The player HUD and lock-on markers have been redesigned.
- Mini-map has been revamped. It now integrates the surround sensor and lock-on direction, highlighting the lock-on target.
- Attack effects have been enhanced (screen effects based on bullet type and power, electromagnetic acceleration bullets, detonator effects, etc.).
- Kick activation changed to double-tapping the detonator, and hit correction has been strengthened (easier to hit even against airborne targets).
- After interrupting accelerator use, the time until thrust returns to zero has been extended (making it easier to retain high thrust when reusing).
- Plugin-related UI and behavior have been adjusted.
### Bug Fixes
- Fixed quick-turn behavior.

## ■ Customization
### New Additions
- Added new modules and new plugins.
- Made the thruster and emitter ability display UI more user-friendly.

Drive speed is now affected by the overall weight of the machine.
- The lower limit of drive speed has been relaxed from 50% to 30%.
