Post-Match Enhancements
Post-Match scenes now display real squad data instead of placeholder/random squads.
Full squad performance is tracked and shown, including correct squad names, members, and top squad highlights.
Top squad determination now uses actual performance stats, falling back to legacy behavior if no squad data is available.
Squad & Team System Overhaul
New client-to-server squad handshake system ensures consistent squad membership and team placement.
Squads sync live to the stat tracker, ensuring Post-Match and Match History reflect accurate compositions.
UI & Quality of Life
Added a Steam icon in the hangar and footer bar; clicking it opens the ITB Steam page.
History panel ordering fixed – results now display in proper chronological order.
Updated button styles for Steam and Discord links to match ITB’s icon set.
Minor polish to emissive lighting on station gantries for better balance with ambient light.
Fixes & Stability
Fixed an issue with armor welding where the simulation root mesh could sometimes be invalid during ship construction.
Various backend improvements to squad tracking, Post-Match data flow, and stat propagation for more reliable match results.
Steam Deck Controller Layout
Improved steam input control scheme to fix some of the mapping issues when using a steam deck.
