Drone Sprites, Game Mechanics and UI Improvements

Drone Sprites 

All 64 drone cards now have unique pixel art sprites in two team colourways (cyan/orange). Each of the 8 archetypes has 8 visual variants, giving every drone its own identity on the battlefield.

Draft Screen Guide Panels

Reworked the draft experience to be more accessible for new players:

  Drone Card Tooltips:

• Hovering over any drone card now shows a full breakdown of its loadout
• Each piece of equipment is listed with stats and what they mean in practice
• Damage type explained (Kinetic, Energy, Explosive, Ion, Piercing) and how it interacts with shields
• Utility ability highlighted with cooldown and effect description

  Mechanics Guide:

• Added a guide panel explaining core systems:
  • Combat - How targeting, accuracy, and evasion interact
  • Shields - Recharge mechanics, damage absorption, and what breaks through
  • Utilities - Active vs passive abilities, cooldowns, and aura effects
  • Archetypes - What makes a Brawler different from a Sniper or Support

  Simplified Stat Display

• Drone cards show at-a-glance role indicators (DPS, Tank, Support, etc.)
• Relative stat bars for quick comparison: firepower, survivability, mobility
• Utility icons with brief descriptions so you know what each drone brings

Battle Reports

  Added comprehensive post-battle reporting:

• Round End Reports - See a breakdown after each round showing kills, deaths, and damage dealt by each drone
• Match Summary - Full game-over screen with tabbed navigation:
  • Match Stats - Overall win/loss record and round-by-round results
  • Drone Performance - Individual drone stats across all rounds
  • Draft History - Complete record of picks, bans, and swaps throughout the match

Both screens now use proper clickable buttons with hover states and sound effects instead of keyboard prompts.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed cloaked drones being targeted and fired upon - invisibility now works correctly across all AI targeting systems
