A quick patch this time, mostly to welcome WeedCore! Papa Weed showed up with a big bag of cores, and handed us v4 of the WeedCore. Here's a few notes from Weedman:
Afterburner 123 will be removed- Interceptors will mount Booster 123 Fighters have original mass and thrust values. Interceptors have original thrust values. Removing pulse probe from development. This should improve HTT BOMBER and SB viability. Implementing the Draconium faction! I had it built, but not using the right TheAlaskan models. It will be done!! Added SRM AB2, PW AC2 to treasures. chance =1 (sidenote: all treasure parts have chance = 1) Added $1000 Cash Box to treasures, chance =10 Telerefinery base scan range increased to 2600m, was 2400m Iron Coalition tech bases 2 minutes build time. Rixian fighters can rip to SR scouts Now, I want to introduce a 10% global speed increase. I feel the need, the need for speed. He's going the distance, he's going for speed.
And just a quick server fix for the end of game lag. When we were recording scores, it was being done in a single thread which blocked up the whole server when ever a large game ended. This has been fixed.
For those of you who dislike the 800x600 menu experience that Allegiance is currently sporting, get ready to get stretched. Rock has been working furiously on getting the screen scaling to reach the proper dimensions and the results are really looking good. If you want to play with his experimental client, you can now do so via Steam Beta. Just right click on Allegiance in the Steam App, select Properties, and then the Beta tab. Select the ui_stretch_beta from the drop-down. Allegiance will then update to this special Beta branch. To go back, just repeat the process, and select "Opt Out of Beta". There are only a few files that need to be downloaded, so the process is very fast. If you see any issues, hop on to the #Testing (https://discord.gg/bxjXt7r) discord channel and let Rock know.
Enjoy!
