Update #8

Expanded branching mission features!

tfw air defense can defend the air

ADDED

• Support for the following elements in wave missions
  • Time limits
  • Targeting specific enemies or structures
  • Finishing a wave with enemies remaining
• The wave objective and time remaining are displayed on the HUD
• Triggers for different messages to display on events like completing a contract successfully or failing one
• DESTRUCTION contract
  • Selectable during branching mission gameplay
  • Destroy a number of plasma turrets within the allotted time.
• REPRISAL wave
  • 1v3 fight against a HAMR ace unit
  • Entering a block has a % chance of turning into a REPRISAL instead
  • % chance increases depending on the number of blocks finished
  • REPRISAL waves do not have completion awards except for the HAMR ace bounties

CHANGED

• ELIMINATION and INTERCEPTION contracts have been merged
  • The ELIMINATION target must be lured out by destroying regular enemies
  • Destroying the targets finishes the wave

FIXED

• Legacy bug causing HAMR enemies to become unable to move on the ground and remain stationary for long periods
  • Literally just deleted some supposedly unused code. Unsure if this will cause other issues. Feedback appreciated!
• GC.Collect issues causing frequent hitching (Tentative)

KNOWN ISSUES

• Finishing a wave by completing the objective currently kills all remaining enemies
  • This adds their bounties to the end score
  • Will be changed in an upcoming update
• Sometimes enemies killed in wave resets don't "die" properly, becoming targetable even if disabled
  • Still trying to figure out what's causing this
  • Might solve itself when I change resets to not kill enemies

Really sorry about the long delay on this one and thanks for sticking around!
