And More!

• Most costumes can now be used by any class. They must still be earned through class progression.
  
• The Workshop is now accepting colored decals.

Balance:

• Wall Rose
  An alternate armed version of Wall Maria that dislikes anyone being near it. Two large force guns will hammer any ship that gets too close. First use will be on the modified Scars of Lutessa map (see below). Image shows the new, more hefty wall model.
  
  
• Wall Maria - added end caps and more bracing, adjusted collision hitboxes, and added an internal device to discourage trying to ram through the wall. Damage taken reduced. Walls will be harder to kill now
  
• AI Emplacement tool adjusted. This is the tool used exclusively by AA turrets and walls. It will now put out fires and repair at a rate similar to the failsafe
  
• Boss Hades changed from chain to cluster Hades. Less dangerous mid to long range, more dangerous close range
  
• AI enemy extinguisher changed to prevent fire locking
  
• Adjusted Anglean Frigate mass and movement.
  
• Small adjustment to Anglean Corvette hitboxes.
  
• Duel at Dawn expanded 500 meters to a 4x4 grid from a 3x3 grid and new map image added. Wind removed and spawns moved further away from each other
  
• Crew AI have increased accuracy on guns
  
• Scars of Lutessa changed from Intercept to Assault with some trial changes. Players now start in the opposite corner and travel to the dam. This Assault will have AA turrets and Walls that block the path to the next base. This is a very challenging map. We will tune this map with live feedback.
  
• Shrike hitboxes changed to better fit the model
  
• PvE: Armor kit lasts until destroyed. Does not degrade noticeably over time

Fixes:

• Clarified Tempest missile description
  
• 3v3 added to Misty Mutiny
• 3v3 added to Misty Mutiny
  
• Adjusted Squid decal position, size, and rotation for better viewability
  
• Loading image and map for Batcave Returns cave map concept testbed
  
• Fixed misplaced flag on Valentine Crusader theme
  
• Fixed Embr theme axe misplacement on Spire and Pyramidion
  
• Fixed overlapping/misplaced lanterns/banners on Royal theme on several ships
  
• Adjusted ladders on all ships with reported consistent problems
