The jukebox gets a new ambient music channel! A new selection of tracks have been added which you can choose if you like ambient background music during your play.
New research item - shield upgrade. Your shields can now be improved with an upgrade, giving them extended range, and increase damage reduction. However they do take more power when in use.
Larger maps have been added, so generated games can now be standard size or one of two larger sizes for a different challenge. You can make your choice of size, via custom difficulty settings when setting up your game. You can see the play area sizes in the following image.
Ratings page has two new tabs, defence and life support. Only basics here at the moment, more to add.
Note, this update is for the optional preview build, see details here for how to opt in. I'm keeping these new additions as optional so you can either wait for v1 release to experience them fresh or choose to opt-in.
Patch notes:-
- Larger map sizes can now be generated (standard/large/vast).
- Map size selection added to custom difficulty.
- New ambient music channel added to jukebox.
- Shield upgrade added to research (range and damage reduction).
- New defence and life support pages added to ratings page.
