Hi everyone!
As announced in last week's AMA we are releasing another smaller update before the big Military Perks update!
We've refactored some old code that handled the overall attack mechanics, projectile generation and projectile handling of the tower.
This lowers the hard limit of the attackspeed and improves the interaction with the rest of the game entities as well as increases the performance in certain edge cases.
It's expected that these changes are going to impact the gameplay since certain module combinations can now be potentially stronger due to a higher maximum attackspeed.
Let us know if you encounter any problems and/or if you notice any differences.
