• Ballista: Reload 3s -> 2.5 s
• Light sponson: Inaccuracy 0.0018 -> 0.0016, Fire Arc 40 deg -> 45 deg
• Sponson: Inaccuracy 0.002 -> 0.0016
• Fixed some torpedo bomber aim logic.
• Air resistance and leg springiness are now calculated differently. Hopefully in a better way. Let me know about weirdnesses.
• Unarmed ships no longer try to go for clever positions just neatly outside the enemy's fire arcs but super-close to the enemy.
• Your final city can no longer be lost to revolt.
• Fixed weird graphics glitch in simple graphics mode where Stone Guardian shots were causing the entire sprite sheet to be drawn.
• Ships that are at exactly ground level during combat no longer cause autosave crashes to happen later.

As always, you can access the current beta by right-clicking on the game in your Steam library, choosing "Properties", going into the "Betas" tab and choosing "Beta -" from the drop-down.

Design steampunk pixel airships out of functional modules and conquer the skies!

In the game, ships are viewed side-on, and their modules are operated by individual crew members. During combat, players give high-level commands to a small fleet, positioning their ships, ramming and boarding others. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall. Players can also compete against one another in Internet and LAN matches.

The ships are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around at their individual tasks, like an ant farm or a cut-away drawing. The player's choices in ship layout are crucial, and an important part of the game is exploring the design space of different airships and their matching tactics.
