- Miner: Hazard focused
- Nuke: Nuke tank and self destruct system focused. Kaboom
- ScienceVessel: Lots of tech. Defensive focused enemies
- Scrapyard: Melee focused enemies and lots of destructible debris

New Weapons/Items:
- Barricade shield: Fire in a direction to stop projectiles/enemies from coming

- Prism Laser: Shotgun rail cannon type blast
- Slug shotgun: fires slug that bursts into shrapnel
- Zap shotgun: fires sticky electric balls that do damage over time
- Repulsor Shield: Shield that can push projectiles away at a large distance
- Hostage Shield: grab enemies and use them as a shield. Slows player on use.
- Subminution Rocket: Remote rocket that bursts into a swarm of seeking cluster munitions

Enemy/System changes:
- Repair system now repairs last destroyed system - so it's possible to stay ahead of the repair process

- Increased Sentry system laser damage
- Faster advanced factory spawning, from 100 to 60
- EMP stun now works on shield systems, stops their rotation
- Tattletale enemy now faces player rather than trying to run away
- Now displays 'max drones' in sidebar, to show the total possible drones that can be created on the ship
- Slimer enemy can now take slime damage

Weapon/Item Changes:
- Large balancing pass to ammo counts / prices

Fixes:
