Midspace finale (Update 0.8.94)

As usual, the new level is not fully optimized. During the most dynamic scenes, the FPS drops significantly. I will try to overcome this problem over the next few weeks

But in general, I think the ending for Midspace is decent. Olympus itself should be next in line, but perhaps the prologue at the beginning of the game will be developed first.

New story level.
Changed Cores behavior: now they do not have a long recharge pause, but fire continuously. (Rhythm of fire, however, has been reduced) The blue indicator that used to indicate recharge now displays the HP of the core.
Heavy scouts with invisibility: reduced armor parameters from explosions.
Damage from enemy implosion reduced from 35 to 25.
Fixed problems with keys and gamepad buttons rebind in some cases. (Added auto-cancel action in 3 seconds)
Destroyed spiders no longer disappear until you extract the unstable shard from them.

Update 0.8.93

Management of enemy cores and turrets changed. Now they no longer need to be repaired manually.
Enemy cores can now attack with implosion. (You can also select implosion when controlling enemy cores)
Enemy cores now attack with three rays at the same time (the strength of these rays is slightly reduced)
Pandora's Temple: enemy faces do not change weapons, but only adapt their shields. This approach, together with slightly different recommendations from Spectre, better allows you to counteract enemy sides, so that this battle does not turn into a continuous long-lasting mess.
Crossroad: Unique equipment has been added to the level (in one of the city blocks)
Data center: The initial puzzle for assembling paths has been simplified. The excessive
number of combinations was taking up too much time.
Cellular grid: added dropship with some Satyrs.
Hexa: the less life left, the higher its plasm defense (maximum 70% when the cube is red and spinning fast)
White shields are now more vulnerable to explosions, and less vulnerable to rays and implosion
Island: The time between shots for rocket launchers has been increased to avoid overspending on strikers.
Icons for sectoral and plasma shields have been changed.
Elysium 1,2: Minor improvement of graphics, minor changes in levels.
Small fixes to levels.
