0.50.0.54

Snappier Abilities, Dyson Shells, and New Explosions

Improvements

  • In multiplayer, abilities and map pings answer the moment you press: the Plasma Bolt leaves your ship at once, and fleet abilities mark their target and spend the charge right away
  • Dyson bots around a star form a slowly turning shell, with the star glowing through the gaps
  • Dyson bots stand out against a star's glow instead of fading into it, and orbit a little slower
  • New death explosions, sized to the ship that died, with a soft smoke trail that lingers after the fire
  • Neutron stars spin faster and bend the starlight around them
  • The Knights' Guardian shield grows in smoothly, stays with its Knight, and shrinks away when it runs out instead of popping

Fixes

  • Dyson bots heading to a Dyson segment vanished near the shipyard. They now fly there from where they were
  • Dyson power beams on the map and minimap ran past both ends. They now stop at the transmitter and receiver
