Fixed a bug that could allow commanders to build bunker structures from assembler or vice versa, including after assembler destruction.
Fixed a bug that could allow commanders to research armory research items from bunker or vice versa, including after armory destruction.

Nuclear Dawn v7.2 Update Released
The update notes are below.
For dedicated servers, this update is optional, but highly recommended.
Greatly improved Assault class's thermal vision interaction with Weapon Suppression gizmo on Assault Rifle.
Fixed structure damage being miscalculated when structure is attacked by another structure or at times with grenades/missles/REDs.
Fixed a crash that could occur when spawning after a round is over
Fixed bots being counted in total players required for a surrender or mutiny vote to pass.
Fixed a few rare client and server crashes.
Decreased memory usage in some areas on both client and server.
