Rebels!

RENAME: Plasma Torpedo is now named Fusion Torpedo

TENTATIVE FIX: In Alien Decimation, under extremely specific circumstances, Phase 4 will end only a few seconds after it starts. A fix has been submitted that may resolve this issue, but we'll be monitoring the situation closely in the next Decimation.
FIXED: RI Turret Fusion Research requires Blueprints that don’t exist.
FIXED: RI Turret Fusion Research exists for Infernal AP Driver, which has not been released.
FIXED: It was discovered that certain Base Turret Blueprints were giving incorrect XP. These are being corrected and Base Level will automatically be recalculated. This should only result in base levels going lower and is not part of the normal XP tuning update that we do every 3 months.
FIXED: Punisher Cruisers were incorrectly applying their -% Armor Mass bonus to weapons and specials that are not considered Armor, even though they provide health. This Armor Mass bonus should only apply to items in an Armor Slot and the Armored Hold special, nothing else. This has been fixed, and will likely result in a weight increase for most upgraded Punisher Cruisers. If your ship becomes overweight, it will automatically trigger a free refit. We have also increased the upcoming refit discount period to a 50% discount instead of the usual 20%, and this discount will run for 48 hours starting July 4th at 3PM PDT.
Additional minor fixes and general improvements
Many of these changes will not be visible on mobile devices until you update your version of the game. Please do so as soon as this new version becomes available.
