8/15/2023
A massive update unlocking ALL maps to support most game modes! Taking advantage of all the content we have made and letting players mix and match whatever maps and modes they want in a fresh new lobby system and mech bay.

* Data cap added to more maps than Commline
General:
* Ammo HUD icon
* Kill feed moved to the bottom right screen
Weapons:
* Frag reload shortened
Fixes:
* Fade for level transition fixed
* Buttons in the mech bay overhauled, should be more reliable now
Community maps:

New combat scenario (gamemode): Uplink, Cargo system.
v0.9313 just hit LIVE!
-New "Uplink" combat scenario
In the Uplink combat scenario, attackers capture and synchronize with three towers using their mech's quantum processor to enable dropship communication for reinforcements. Defenders protect the towers and disrupt synchronization. Attackers gain reinforcement tickets after each successful synchronization, acting as a shared respawn pool. If they run out of tickets, they lose. Capturing all three towers secures victory.
-3 New community maps
-Mithril City
-Bulletstorm Valley
-Pastel Freighter
-Interaction Cargo System
Interact with in game objects such as health and ammo pickups, Uplink objectives etc., through a multi-purpose retrieve-and-store cargo system (or RCS for short)
To use the RCS, simply pull the handle toward you while standing over cargo or other objects on the battlefield. in a later update pilots will be able to store, sort and release cargo to other pilots in need.

Audio and art upgrades
Updated placeholder drones art
Healing system received an audio makeover
