USC:CF v0.40.0a, build 231002

NEW

Over 50 new icons for equipment items!
New map/environment type: Spaceship
- Two new unique map types are now available in Single Mission mode: "Recon vessel" and "Ring space station"
- Single Missions in this environment yield extra Insulators, Batteries, and Electrical components
- New visuals, previously only seen and playable in the Tutorial, plus:
New GAMEPLAY MECHANICS: hull breach/decompression
- Happens when an outer wall of a Spaceship environment is destroyed
- Warning lights and sounds, as well as grid overlay info will signal this
- Currently there's no method available to repair the hull once it is compromised, but specific tools will be added at a later time
- All connected areas will start to lose atmosphere each Turn; a small room is decompressed instantly, while a larger area will be decompressed through a few Turns
- During decompression, movement AP cost for ALL units is increased by 4 (!)
- After decompression (no more air left), all fires will be instantly put out (and new ones cannot start), any incendiary and acidic damage/effect is nullified, and ALL units starting their Turn in the area will receive 20 Cryo buildup (this is applied before Cryo buildup is halved)
- The aliens will NOT try to destroy outer walls
- Closing a door in a decompressed area will restore atmosphere in the sealed room instantly
New Operation: "Onboard invasion", taking place on a space station in the new environment
New item: High-Caliber Auto-Turret
- A versatile ballistic turret making use of the HCB ammunition
- Has free-pattern single shot, a more powerful star-pattern single-target burst, and sweep-pattern multi-target burst attacks (yes, 2.5x damage at point blank range ;D)
- Get it by completing the new Operation, or as a craftable for a nearly perfect run on at least Hard difficulty in Defend the Base!
New object in Defend the Base: High-Caliber Auto-Turret. See above.
New object in Defend the Base: Biosign Radar. Automatically scans the whole area for biosigns every Turn.
New object in Defend the Base: MediPad. Provides continuous healing and hazard treatment for a friendly unit standing on it.
New object in Defend the Base: Barricade. A movable, fireproof, half-height defensive object that provides cover and can withstand a fair amount of damage.
A few new decorative objects, with much more to come! (This is the reason for the size of the update, as new graphical assets have been added.)

BALANCE CHANGES

Defend the Base!
- Adjusted the number of enemies per difficulty level (1.25x, 1.1x, 0.9x, and 0.8x of former base value, respectively, for Beginner, Standard, Hard, and Ultimate)
  - Structure scanner
- Base AP cost reduced to 15 (down from 20)
Biosign scanner
- Base AP cost reduced to 10 (down from 30)
- Range increased to 15 (up from 10)
- Deep scan range increased to 10 (up from 5)
Bulleteer (SMG) "Triple Fire":
- Reduced base AP cost to 9 (from 10)
- Increased effective range to 10 (from 8)
- Increased accuracy to 7 (from 5)
- Reduced spread to 12 (from 15)
- Increased random damage to 35 (from 25)
- Increased impact force to 30 (from 25)
- It is now slightly more effective against structure (walls, doors)
Single Missions in the Mines or Planet surface environment will now yield an additional 7 Insulators (base value)

FIXES

Fixed a critical bug where a Defend the Base! game could become corrupted if you started it after exiting a mission with any active nests in it
Fixed a bug where if you left items in the Stash while playing an Operation, a dialog would pop up between Phases asking you if you wanted to continue, where if you chose "No", the game would lock up (fix: the dialog will not pop up between Phases at all, now)
Fixed a bug where passing multiple movable objects by in succession would cause lagging briefly
Fixed a bug in Hardcore mode where the game would hang on saving the game when you failed a mission (on the last marine being killed)
