Fighter fire ranges have been improved. +All ships activated by Formation or Squad mechanics can now correctly switch between Strafe Fire mechanics and standard Orbiting Fire. +Strafe Firing now has more functionality. +Most ships have received significant speed boosts while performing strafe fire runs and in formations. Planet Shield dissolve effect updated. Boss Carrier hit locations now read the correct shield values and update each other with the real time value. -This corrects issues with turrets featuring multi targeting mechanics. Destabilized Plasma (I&II) can now correctly fire on non standard hit locations. Easy difficulty description has been removed from the Level Select menu. Difficulty buttons split from Act buttons.
