Imperius and Vagrantis skill updates, and a reworked Act 3 completion cutscene!
Version 0.5550920374
🎯 [Balance] The Vagrantis skill "Omnipotent Fortitude" has been revised and now also affect on-board ship turrets. 🎯 [Balance] The Imperius skill "Warp Plasma Damage Amplifier" has been revised and now increases % damage instead of fixed values.

If run from the same folder as the Nienix executable, it could cause an overwrite of the storage/achievement data. Note: If this has happened to anyone, you can recover the correct storage/achievements from the Backup save game folder. 🎯 [Bug fix] Fixed an issue related to ghost loot.
