Fuel System Changes

Active skills now increase fuel consumption rate by 2/s instead of 3/s when first obtained. Both active and passive skill upgrades now increase fuel consumption when first obtained, but they do not increase fuel consumption when the level of the upgrade is increased.

Skill Changes

Spiral Shot now fires its bullets in smaller angular intervals to complete one full rotation.

Skill Upgrade Changes

Negative aspects have been removed from most skill upgrades, but to maintain balance, some upgrades that had their negative aspects removed have been slightly weakened. The first level of upgrades is now much stronger compared to the second and third levels, due to the change related to fuel consumption.
