Founders skill updates and stackable sensors!

[h3]Version 0.5550920373[/h3]
🎯 [UI] An option to scale general text depending on camera zoom has been added. It is called "UI Scaling: General text" and is available in the user interface options section.
🎯 [UI] The font scale of consumables are now adjusted depending on the value of "UI Scaling: Item names".
🎯 [Skill] A new Founders skill has been added: "Wormhole Mastery IV" - When an active auxiliary item is activated, the cooldown of any equipped Warp Field Generator is reset.
🎯 [Skill] The Founders skill "Engine Booster" has been replaced by "Crit Booster": Chance of critical hits is increased by X%. Crit damage is increased by Y%. This also applies to on-board turrets.
🎯 [Skill] The Founders skill "Stabilized Molten Metals" has been revised. It now works as follows: Bullet velocity and range are increased by X% per Metre of sensor range. This also applies to on-board ship turrets.
🎯 [Misc] It is now possible to stack sensors (albeit with a dimishing return).
🎯 [Misc] Pressing the on-screen map button now always brings up the full-screen map.
🎯 [Misc] The MTU is now automatically identified by both server and client. This should alleviate network issues for machines that cannot handle an MTU of 1500.

🎯 [Balance] The Founders skill "Lucky Strike" now provides 3% bonus crit per level (down from 5%).
🎯 [Balance] The Founders skill "Sensor Amplifier" has been updated: Sensor range is extended by the range of a Standard Sensor equal to player level. It is then extended by an additional X%. In short, this means that spending a point in this skill is similar to equipping a Sensor.
🎯 [Balance] The Founders Talent "Ignited Warp Plasma" now provides a base buff to explosion radius of all weapons of 100 (up from 40).
🎯 [Balance] The "Drone Hull Module" now provides less % bonus to hull.

New weapon mods and balance adjustments

[h3]Version 0.5550920370[/h3]
🎯 [New Weapon mod] Glass Cannon Edition: Increased attack speed at the cost of reduced resist all.
🎯 [New Weapon mod] Bruiser Edition: Increased damage and aura effectiveness at the cost of reduced attack speed.
🎯 [Balance] The two new weapon mods described above can roll for all auxiliary weapon types.
🎯 [Balance] The warp plasma requirement of follow-type auras on auxiliary items has been increased by 20%.
🎯 [Balance] The Axiom skill "Heavy Plating" now provides a diminishing return past 360% (600 metres).
🎯 [Balance] The likelihood of stun provided by the weapon mod "Stun Edition" is now based on weapon attack speed and its number of bullets per shot.
🎯 [Balance] The Xinthu skill "Slow But Deadly" (5:4) now provides 10% decreased attack speed and 15% increased damage per level.
🎯 [Balance] Hull repair provided by weapons is now affected by item grade (a higher grade/rarity means a stronger hull repair).
🎯 [Balance] The Corrosive Bomb weapon is now allowed on ship turrets.
🎯 [Balance] All auxiliary-type weapons are now allowed on ship turrets.
🎯 [Balance] Weapons that provide hull repair on collision can now heal self given that they have sufficient explosion radius. This means that most Xinthu-type weapons, given that their bullet explode, now repair self. Previously, weapons would only repair self if they created hull repair auras on termination.

🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed a crash error related to a race condition.
🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed a bug that caused hull repair auras not to benefit from the Repair bonus statistic.
🎯 [Bug fix] The Xinthu skill "Protective Hull" now properly increases the Repair bonus statistic instead of merely affecting player hull per second.
