These changes bring a nerf to some heavy static defenses and a bunch of fixes. Non-rectangular starboxes continue to be applied to more maps. Zeus is slightly more accurate in an attempt to tune Cloakybots.

Balance[edit]

  • DDM*:
  • cost: 1200 → 1600
  • power now required to use heatray
  • open/close approx. time: 4s → 15s
  • DDM, Annihilator, Behemoth*:
  • power required to aim weapons and open/close.
  • Stardust*:
  • minimum firing angle 30° below.

This has no effect on flat land but elevated Stardusts have a sizable minimum range depending on height.

  • Zeus*:
  • inaccuracy 2.8° → 2.4° (Hits a Bandit at max range about 1/3 of the time)

Miscellaneous[edit]

  • Wait pauses non-free Stockpile. (Silencer and Leviathan)
  • COFC camera scrolling obeys Smooth Mesh option and is FPS independent.
  • Units undergoing an orbital drop (Mostly campaign, for multiplayer only Commanders picked after game start) can no longer jump.
  • Added a startbox creation tool for mappers. Consult the wiki for usage.

Fixes[edit]

  • fixed non-dedicated Radar sources (eg. Commanders, Weaver, Protector) being blocked by minor terrain irregularities.
  • fixed EMP timer being inaccurate (reported value was 7% too high).
  • fixed facplop being wasted when resurrecting a factory.
  • fixed fall damage not being applied if the drop was perpendicular to the ground.
  • fixed Outline effect not working on machines without shader support
  • fixed Outline effect and X-ray effect to be more consistent with above water rendering when underwater (Specifically Dynamic and Bump when BumpWaterRefractions=2).
  • fixed the SI notation for tooltips and space-click menu.
  • fixed Retreat causing a desync when used by a skirmish AI (This currently only applies to Shard).
