For example, it is now possible to spend 5 points in the Imperius skill "Strong Drones" (up from 3). 🎯 [Balance] Several changes to skill dependency requirements.

Two new kinds of Targeting Systems
Version 0.5550920393
🎯 [New weapon] Targeting System (RT): Sets the target of summons based on the position of the crosshair. Provides a bonus to resistance. 🎯 [New weapon] Targeting System (DT): Sets the target of summons based on the position of the crosshair. Provides a bonus to damage. 🎯 [Balance] There is now a maximum velocity for summons. It is set extremely high, and should thus only trigger for summons that previously could become too fast to function well (given speed auras in combination with the Xinthu Drone speed skill). 🎯 [Balance] Escort-type drones are now allowed to stray further from their summoner. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an error related to engine boost hull/warp plasma requirements. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue that could cause incorrect output positions when using certain kinds of warp gates. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue that caused ships to loose their on-board turrets, and Sentinel-type ships to loose their tails, when using a short-jump-type warp gate. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed a race condition that could cause incorrect skill points returned when playing COOP as client.
Faster summons
Version 0.5550920392

Bug fixes
Version 0.5550920390

Misc update
Version 0.5550920387
🎯 [Misc] All larger ships have now been given a default % bonus to hull regeneration (as it pretty much was a prerequisite to use bigger ships). It works similar to the Axiom skill "Heavy Plating", but with Sentinel-type ships getting a bonus based on the length of the tail. 🎯 [Misc] The Axiom skill "Heavy Plating" has been replaced by the skill "Featherweight", which reduce the total player weight. 🎯 [Misc] Walls and doors are now twice as thick in the map. 🎯 [Misc] The "Extract Mod" recipe has been simplified, and its description updated. 🎯 [Misc] Tails of larger Sentinel ships are now less stiff. 🎯 [Balance] The beam extend speed and range of all Probe-type summons has been significantly increased. 🎯 [Balance] The Hull of Deflector Domes has been increased by 2x. 🎯 [Balance] The warmup time has been reduced for the Drone Tug engine. 🎯 [Balance] The gambler multiplier now gives more potent results. 🎯 [Balance] Loot level is now closer to sector level when sector level is higher. 🎯 [Bug fix] On activation of auxiliary item events were spawned in incorrect positions.

Modding items no longer rerolls their stats!

🎯 [Item mods] Modding and demodding items no longer rerolls their stats. Note that some items/mods gained before this patch are not fully supported, and might still be re-rolled. 🎯 [Misc] The number of segments on Sentinel-type ships is now procedural and can differ a bit between drops. 🎯 [Balance] Many item modifications have been buffed. 🎯 [Balance] Sentinel ships gain higher bonuses range to sensors, auras and weapons based on the length of the tail (applies to all ships, and not only new items). 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed issues related to beam-type enemies on Sentinel on-board ship turrets hitting the segments of the ship. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue that could cause laggy input for clients when playing COOP. 🎯 [Bug fix] Item grades higher than Epic are now correctly supported by the "Random Continuum Entity" recipe, as per its description. 🎯 [Bug fix] Corrected a few texts. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed several physics-based issues, in particular related to sentinel-type ships.
