To stick with the theme of crazy Defender changes we've cooked up something that few thought was even possible. Defender now has a reload bar. Trident is another benefactor of this change and its fancy new bar even convinced Angler and Hacksaw to make the switch to Defender-style independent reloads.

Aside
from
the
Defender
we
have
mostly
been
working
on
polish,
fixes
and
stability.
Constructor
movement
is
much
improved
with
the
application
of
raw
move.
The
crash
reporting
system
is
working
well
as
the
engine
seems
to
have
become
much
more
stable
over
the
last
few
months.
A
noticeable
performance
boost
should
be
noticeable
thanks
to
the
fixes
for
this
ticket:
