Changes in 0.8.3-b2176
? indicates changes due to community feedback
Updated the Ultra Heavy Beam Weapon
- Changed name from BEM UH 01 → BMH Shadowburst
- Added a description: Emits a five-second beam so strong, it can cut whole buildings in half. Extremely difficult to rotate while firing due to gyroscopic interference so mechs must move to stay on target.
More Salvage UI Improvements
- ? It’s now possible to salvage friendly units:
- After a defeat, you’re limited to 60 points to “emergency” salvage budget
- Using this, you can salvage parts of destroyed and intact friendly units
- Salvaging broken parts on intact units will equip them back to the unit that lost them automatically
- Salvaging from a concussed or ejected unit will add those parts to the inventory but the unit and pilot will not be returned to the base
- Salvage budget is now affected by which units you defeat in combat. The more enemies you defeat, the larger your salvage budget is.
- Mechs +30
- Tanks +10
- Elevated tanks +20
- Turrets +10
- Added text to show intact parts cost less, destroyed parts cost more, parts on lost friendly units will be lost forever if not salvaged
- Added pilot details including name, callsign, and status (concussed, missing, etc)
- Added SFX to sliders, selecting parts of different rarities, entering and exiting salvage, and adding and subtracting salvage cost
- ? Improved style of the UI to show destroyed parts more clearly
- Updated the salvage tutorial text
Miscellaneous
- Added a failsafe to loading a game in the middle of a salvage from 0.8.0 or earlier may cause issues in later versions
- Shields are now much less effective against thermal, stagger and concussion damage. When the shield is up 50% of heat, 80 % of stagger and 25% of concussion, damage gets through the defense.
- “Investigate” on War Memorial event now guarantees intel on a new site
- ? Added an indicator to armor in list views to show what part they belong to (upper, lower, arm)
