[list] [*]Durability attributes have been modified to match the starfighter attribute rebalancing (see below). Otherwise they remain similar to their original values. [*]Shield attributes have been updated quite extensively. Previously a relatively small amount spent into the Shield attribute gained players an incorrect amount of benefit. The correct ranges and thresholds means that players will experience lower amounts shield health, extended shield regen delay and but also reduced the amount of time the shields will spend regenerating. [*]Maneuverability attribute effectiveness has been flattened out across the board. This is to stop players from reach game breaking speeds and to equalize player movement. Along with these changes to maneuverability, mecha form speed has also been raised and adjusted to fix any discrepancies of mecha form speed between different starfighter classes. [*]Power attribute curves have received quite extensive reworking to repair discrepancies in super ability cooldown times between different starfighters. Super ability cooldowns and heat dissipation now scale evenly across 100 points in Power. [*]Ordinance attribute balance has received a significant reworking to repair discrepancies in missile cooldown times between different starfighters. Missile cooldowns now scale evenly across 100 points in Ordinance. [*]Force attribute curves have received extensive reworking. Tech cooldowns and Empowered Melee cooldowns now scale evenly across 100 points in Force.

After dying, the player will automatically respawn in the area. Which means for PVP there is no option to return to the menu or respawn at the Halberd-001 (you will need to leave the area manually). [*]Unintentional AI behaviour during “Diplomatic Mission” where friendly AI will attack the player after all enemies are defeated [*]The screen that displays unclaimed rewards from the previous ranger season in the Bounty terminal cannot be dismissed if the player presses the [ESC] key. [*]In PVP there may be a desync between an enemy player’s Health display and their actual health. Keep shooting, they are dying.
