USC:CF v0.71.0a, build 240328

NEW

• New weapon: Energy blade
  
  • A very expensive high-end melee weapon, available without unlocking (for now)
    
  • Uses Energy Charge as ammo
    
  • Has two low-cost melee attacks with various amounts of damage, tranq. and bleeding
    
  • One special short-range AoE attack
    
  • All attacks have a chance to refund Action Points, based on the number of enemies hit, and some luck
    
• Added a lot of debris variety for different destructible objects
  

BALANCE CHANGES

• The "supply pipe" object in Hydroponics is now destructible, but also blocks line of sight
  

FIXES

• Fixed an extremely rare critical bug when using area of effect attacks near the very edge of a map (affected DtB AI in particular) (reported by Ciecieji)
  
• Fixed a bug where the projected HP loss info for units was sometimes calculated incorrectly and was showing a smaller value than actual
  
• Fixed a bug in the Tutorial where the scorpion could die from the initial attack, blocking further progression
  
• Fixed a graphical glitch where Energy rifle attack effects were sometimes visible on the loading screen
  
• Fixed a graphical glitch where the burning effect (in the rare case there was any) was not removed from a shattered enemy
  
• Fixed an UI issue where you could open the Squad overview panel while not in a mission
  
• Fixed a minor UI issue where the seasonal reward assault rifle was counted into the number of normally unlockable weapons
