Wingmates are out. You fly solo again.

I played a lot of 2.14.2, and Wingmates weren't working. A full squad made runs way too easy, and the way they trailed you around never moved anywhere near as well as your pilot does. I'd rather pull a feature than leave a weak one in the game, so they're gone for now. Gunmetal Orbit plays the way it did through 2.13: you, your guns, and the rocks.

What's new

• Wingmates are out of the game for now. No Wingmate cards in the Outfitter, no Lost Unit field event, and no WINGMATES list on the HUD.
• Your mid-run saves are safe. If you saved partway through a run with Wingmates, the run picks up without them. If your saved Outfitter hand still held a Wingmate card, you get a fresh hand instead, so you can't pay for a unit that never shows up.
• Every item refit has its own picture. The 24 sector refits, from Slipstream Thrusters to Furnace Rounds, used to share an icon with the item they replace. Now each one has its own art in its sector's style, so an upgrade stands out in the Outfitter, the Field Guide and your build.

If Wingmates come back, they'll have a new balance pass and much better movement first. Thanks for giving them a shot.
