Until now, most rounds of the game tended to take quite long, and you usually run out of torpedoes and upgrades like that quite soon, and you usually don't have any fighters left at that point as well. This makes the round take much longer, since no one is able to run coordinated attacks anymore, and it makes the rounds less fun. This is why a new resource points system gets introduced, you gain these points passively, and for killing enemies and repairing your ship. You can then purchase selected upgrades like torpedoes and B2 pods for these points, and you can also buy new fighters if you have free hangar slots as well. The Pilot class receives a big buff in this update as well, they can purchase fighters mid-round for half of their usual price. Another thing that got improved in this update are the turrets, manually shooting a turret did not make much sense before, but now you have double the usual firepower while manually controlling a turret, and you now can see the turret you are using, making it look a lot nicer. There are also lots of bugfixes in this update, the bridge screen should now be a lot smoother, your shield energy can not fall below zero no matter how fast you click, the tutorial received some improvements, and the hangars and turrets had multiple issues fixed.
