Update 0.2.1 features a whole host of bug fixes and quality of life improvements as found throughout launch! AI have also improved, better at acquiring targets to fire on, and reducing close combat aggression - so less PIT moves! Added a new playable bike, Pangolin, and 3 fully customisable liveries for each bike. Two AI teams have also gotten a facelift, JKW (pictured) and Parsec One.
Thanks to all those who got involved and shared feedback, bugs and suggestions! If you want to get involved feel free to join the Phaseshift discord here:
