Game version 3778
A hotfix addressing lingering issues of the year 2023.
With gratitude to all those who took the time to report issues,
Happy holidays to those that celebrate them,

Balance
- (#5783) Revert the location of the UEF ACU teleport enhancement
There was an unforeseen strategy that one can apply when teleporting a UEF ACU with a Billy. The Billy enhancement now occupies the same slot as the teleport enhancement again.
- (#5782) Cybran tactical missiles now split when they are intercepted by the Aeon TMD
In moderate quantities it can create a fascinating show to watch.

Bug Fixes
-
(7c624e, #5772) Fix rapid-fire on Aeon and Seraphim tech 2 stationary flak.
-
(#5782) Fix the Aeon TMD being unable to prevent the Billy from exploding.
-
(#5782) Fix the Aeon TMD firing its flare too late for incoming missiles.
Due to a bug, the Volcano had a target check interval of 1.0 seconds instead of 0.4 seconds, making it unable to reliably catch Seraphim tactical missiles due to their speed.
- (#5782) Fix the Aeon TMD locking onto missiles that it can't intercept.
This would prevent other TMD with a better chance at intercepting the missile from locking on.
- (#5782) Fix the Aeon TMD not tracking its intercept count.
Features
- (c696d43) Introduce a game option to scale strategic icons.
Also scales the pause and stun icons. Useful on monitors with high pixel density. A scale of 150% may distort the strategic icons.
- (9fd0b50) Add the ability to compute a detailed path for AIs.
The function is in NavUtils.lua
and is named DetailedPathTo
. The function is expensive in comparison to the standard PathTo
function.
Graphics
- (ff6c016) Add new, high-quality strata layers and decals.
These assets are available through the FAF editor after retrieving the latest patch. The new biome is named 'New Realms.'
