Hi everyone, this new update brings 34 new Steam achievements and crew enhancements to make runs more fun.
WHAT'S NEW

34 Steam achievements have been added! There will be plenty more to come.
Repairing - all crew now have the 'Repair' stat and will repair ship HP according to that stat after each wave. This should make runs much more forgiving for non-engineer characters. The engineer's repair has also been buffed.
Crew Buffs - Buffed the crews starting stats (Shield HP in particular) and differentiated them a bit further.
Broke Bonus - is now triggered when you start a wave with zero gold.
Added some helpful tips on rotation to the loading screen.
Thanks for playing as always! I love to hear how you're going with the game or any feedback you may have.
Coming in the next few updates: meta-progression, harder difficulties and 'Events' between waves!
Cheers!

As always, feedback, bug reports and suggestions are very welcome! Thanks!!
