Limit Breaker (v0.5.90)

[p]This update brings together months of system changes that have been building toward this moment. Previously, the ship designer capped you at four weapons of the same type. That restriction is now completely gone.[/p][p][/p][p]As you level up, you can now equip as many of any slot type as you want. Go wild with 15 drone bays, 15 lasers, or even 15 vortex arrays if you feel like testing the limits.[/p][p]This update is definitely going to cause some performance issues. I’ve already started optimizing the biggest offenders, but more work will be needed. If you notice heavy framerate drops when stacking weapons, please report it on the Steam Community or Discord.[/p][p]Full patch notes are below.
