DRAFT for NEXT release
This is a draft for the next release, these changes are not live and not guaranteed to stay. For the latest stable release notes see changelog.Zero-K v1.4.6.1
- Fixed Wasp hitvolume (dev engine).
- Applied turning around constructor fix to Athena.
Zero-K v1.4.6.2
- Fixed backwards rotation of jumpjets and aircraft landing on an airpad (dev engine).
Zero-K v1.4.6.3
- Restored marker placement hotkey for German keyboards (dev engine).
- Fixed Cloak State hotkey and tooltip.
- Changed the default screenshot hotkey back to png (dev engine).
- Added an option to make clicking on construction tabs activate their hotkeys.
- Restored Missiles homing onto radar dots (dev engine).
Zero-K v1.4.6.4

Zero-K v1.4.6.5
- Fixed Zenith. It was dropping asteroid wrecks from the sky while firing.
- Restored usual cratering by multiplying craters by 0.3 (dev engine).

Zero-K v1.4.9.0 to Zero-K v1.4.9.2
Starlight finally has a new model, something more fitting of the most expensive thing you can build. Starlight might see more use as Bantha has received a nerf as a result of free-for-all and endgame feedback. Smaller units have also received attention with many unit AI improvements and a fix for non-functional slow weaponry.
Balance
Bantha:
- Larger Hitvolume: It is now a 60 radius cylinder instead of a 55 wide and 35 deep box. This should make it weaker to spread weapons and Ultimatium.
- Reduced Speed 1.72 -> 1.55. This puts it between Dante and Detriment instead of approximately the same as Dante. It can still skirmish Detriment with no problem.
- Reduced Health 36k -> 32k.
Detriment:
- LargerHitvolume: radius 80 cylinder -> radius 92. It was looking a bit thin in comparison to Bantha.
Starlight:
- Size 8x8 -> 10x10
Fixed slow damage.
Unit AI
- Most precise unguided rockets and plasma cannons now have overkill prevention against structures. This is an improvement for many assaults, precise artillery, Rocko and Rogue.
- Added overkill prevention for Placeholder. They try to avoid overlapping their shots (unless against a particularly heavy foe).
- Mid-range units avoid explosive structures (Fusions, Pylons etc...).
- Fixed some Scorcher dive and heatray target priority bugs.
- Wolverines now skirmish everything.
- Added tactical AI for Impaler, Pillager, Bantha and Grizzly
- Anti-heavies now prioritize heavy units more strongly.
- Reduced the target priority of unidentified radar dots.
- Reduced the target priority of wobbling radar dots for unguided precise weapons.
Fixes and Interface
- Added ingame ignore.
- The camera now zooms to your startbox upon commander selection.
- Fixed cloaked flying Blastwings.
- Fixed Shredder wreck.
Added map boxes:
- Harbinger
- Sands of War
- Added fallback boxes.
