[p]
[/p][p]COMMUNITY FEEDBACKS[/p][p]xbud2[/p][p]I might be unpopular saying this, but the fact that the drawbacks don't scale really makes them feel inconsequential in the later game.[/p]

• [p]Slotted items can now suffer from drawback when its integrity hit 0[/p]

[p]replacing a drone with the same one should heal the drone (because it is a new one, hence should have no damage on it)[/p]

• [p]Drones revive and max hp when out of combat[/p]

[p]Once a battle goes on for long enough, (ie, lead ship keeps calling for reinforcements fast enough that i can barely get a shot off on him), the bullets start doing that themselves.[/p]

• [p]Fixed projectiles trail bug[/p]

[p] it can either be pure mastery of that skill or an unlock to buy like you have now. [/p]

• [p]Command Core total bought requirement spike towards end[/p]

[p]That might have something to do with having prestiged 7 times.[/p]

• [p]Blackhole sector availability increases with prestige[/p]

[p]the evasion skills is so broken. Coupled with the evasion module, I get hit like 1 out of 20 times. With everything else I have stacked on top of that, I feel like the villain.[/p]

• [p]Projectile and missile evasion multiplier is lowered by .01 per tier[/p]

[p]
[/p][p]Sir Quercus[/p][p]A button in the settings to reset your game progress completely[/p]

• [p]Added Restart Run and Reset Game buttons in option menu [/p]

[p]Perhaps if prestige could not be found in a mystery location, and could only be done with the black hole unlocked sector 10[/p]

• [p]Black hole can now be only reached after reaching sector 10 + (prestige*5)[/p]

[p]show you detailed information about other stats like your exact evade chance and your damage reduction, similar to how hovering over the weapon gives you its stats.[/p]

• [p]Projectile and Missile evasion info[/p]

[p]
[/p][p]Snow_Cat[/p][p]Freelancer upgrade is reset to 0 on loading save after restarting but not on main-menu bounce.[/p]

• [p]Fixed. Added variable in save schema[/p]

[p]“ENEMY ALERTED” by running scans don’t interrupt jumps[/p]
