Improvements:

  • Part rarity bonuses rebalanced across the board. Every tier is now worth the same step and Legendary lands on roughly double a Common's output, instead of some parts getting nearly all of it from a single tier.
  • Chained parts no longer compound their rarity multipliers with chain length.
  • The Railgun gets rarity bonuses.
  • Core part upgrades cost three times as much.
  • Socket Array scrap value reduced from 90 to 60.
  • Brig overcharge duration raised from 0.5 to 1 second, and the Core Missile Launcher's overcharge multi shot lowered from x20 to x10.
  • Frigate defence raised from 3 to 4.
  • Tesla Coil chain bonus reduced: damage per link from +2 to +1, and speed from x(1+links) to x(1+links*0.5).
  • Bulwark turn speed lowered from 0.4 to 0.3, and its Abyss waves thinned out.
  • Compression wave is bigger, hits harder and now knocks enemies back.
  • Surge's push aside strength lowered.
  • Liquid Nitrogen's mission goal raised from 300 to 600 hunters.
  • The Mine Dispenser, Impulsor, Plasmatic Blade, Temporal Field and Fusion Catalyzer now unlock from difficulty level missions
  • Gun targeting now shares one nearest enemy pass per frame instead of scanning the whole field once per shot and once per bullet.
  • Bullets are now cleaned up just off screen rather than after 2000 units of travel, roughly halving how many are alive at once.
  • Off screen enemies run their movement every fourth frame instead of every other.
  • Long canon overcharge now increases penetration to 10.
