B:\Balance

• ///Buffs

E:\Engineering

• Excessive use of capacitators to get temperature resistance over 100% (this previously allowed you to freeze your reactor by firing lasers) now has diminishing returns with each subsequent capacitor

H:\Hangar

• Brief descriptions of enemy abilities have stopped disappearing on the global map
  
• Increased the passive income of free nuclear warheads from 1 to 2 per week

• Interface lightning supports different screen resolutions
  
• No more weapon card pop-ups overlapping when mousing over mech weapons

• Frequent alt-tabbing in and out of the game during battle should no longer result in the textures for red-colored slowdown zones taking on a weird appearance
  
• The crash bug involving empty pilot portraits after a victory has been fixed
