Likho has a new model by brunocb, giving it a proper singularity bomb. This update also has many fixes and a few balance changes. Some of the fixes are due to an engine update, such as a decades-old bug that caused reverse-built units to sometimes try to slide off the map. On the balance front, Bulkhead now has a bit more range than Stinger, Duck is a bit better, and Disco Rave Party spins faster.

Balance

Duck is no longer the equal-slowest raider.

Speed 90 -> 93 elmo/s (no longer matches Bandit)
Missile range 235 -> 232 (matches Bandit)
Missile turn rate increased by 16% so it reliably hits Dart.

Bulkhead is more sturdy and can safely shoot at Stinger.

Stays deployed while mid-air
Range 600 -> 640
Sight range 660 -> 700

Crab and Bulkhead can deploy mid-air. Kodachi is killed in one fewer shots by Dagger.

Health 680 -> 660

Disco Rave Party has all its bearings replaced.

Base turn rate increased by 25%
Maximum fire rate increased by 6.7%
Spin-up rate increased by 18%
Increased minimum turn rate by 25%
Can turn without spinning down so far, as a result of the above.

Features

Added new Likho model (thanks brunocb).
Added optional radar colour in LOS and fog stripes, under Settings/Interface/Map/Radar Color.
Added animation-stun to most striders. They no longer return to a netural stance while stunned.
Guarding units can now be automatically set to lower selection rank under Settings/Interface/Selection/Filtering (thanks Amnykon).
Improved overdrive payback tooltip.
Added metal shared, energy excesses, and energy shared graphs.
Mods can now include their own modoptions files.
Reordering factory queues no longer forgets Alt-insert.
Cloaked units no longer try to shoot at unseen mexes.
Free-For-All games are now not counted for ranking immediately, rather than being discounted when the server restarts (thanks Shaman).

Fixed rally points of factories with structures right in front of them.
Fixed overlob prevention vs. jumpjets.
Fixed a shadow bug caused by UI scaling.
Slowed Detriment can no longer be stolen by transports.
