🎯 [Balance] The Vagrantis T7 skill "Omnipotent Fortitude" has been nerfed for smaller ships, but buffed for larger ships as the ship diameter penalty now is reduced (diameter ^ 0.8).

🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue that on rare occasion could cause cave gateways to not spawn.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue with the Founders skill Molten Metals: it previously only increased bullet speed, but not bullet lifespan.

[h3]Version 1.0404[/h3]
🎯 [Misc] Most maps in Act 2, and all Continuum Event cave maps, have been revised. They are now composed of long windy thick connected tunnels.
🎯 [Performance] Non-essential item loot filter checks (such as those used for rendering) are now managed by a background thread. This should serve to increase performance/reduce lag.
🎯 [Performance] Performance has been improved for most of the maps in Act 2.
🎯 [Balance] Scout-type summons now move closer to their targets before they start shooting, making them behave more like dog fighters than snipers.
🎯 [Bug fix] There was previously a need to re-equip the ship after spending points into the Founders skill "Molten Metals" for it to have an effect on on-board turrets. This requirement has been removed.
🎯 [Bug fix] Conditions are now sorted according to type when evaluated. This should remove many of the weird character stat sheet updates that have been observed - some work on this topic likely remain.
