This week's update introduces a new class of adjustable weapon: the bunker cannon. The bunker cannon and its future variants clock in at a massive 7000 firepower. The Type I cannon works just like a battery cannon with longer range, higher fire rate and a bigger blast radius. Remember to keep your bunker turrets crew repair accessible as their massive size makes them easy targets.
Autoturrets receive a massive buff this update allowing them to follow the full selection of captain orders. Alongside converged adjustables these old weapons could no longer compete. Since targeting weapons is generally the best option, this has been made the new default. Remember that splitting firepower between adjustable and non-adjustable weapons is a great way to take advantage of the high accuracy of low firepower adjustable arrays without sacrificing overall damage output.
