Another release candidate for you all! This one includes some balance tweaks based on feedback I've received from playtesters. Please let me know if you feel anything is over- or under-powered! I want every weapon and ship to feel good to play. Gameplay:

• The tutorials can all be skipped.
• The OST has received several new short tracks, which are used in some of the game's cinematics.
• Added two new achievements.
• Torpedo launchers now take twice as long to reload, to compensate for the massive damage boost they received in a previous patch. AI ships use torpedoes a bit less frequently.
• Character portraits in "The Center Cannot Hold" are a bit more varied.
• New flavor text for the larger naval main guns.
• The Flight Unit part is 100 tons lighter, and has a note in its flavor text that you may need multiple to achieve flight.
• Gunflashes and aircraft smoke trails are more transparent.
• Submarine icons in long-range radar look a bit nicer.
• The Light AA Laser weapon deals 25% of its previous damage. Perfect-accuracy, fast-firing weapons can't also deal lots of damage!
• Bow drills deal 60% of the damage they previously dealt (still good, no longer "touch a ship and it dies" territory).
• Bow drills and sawblades don't make constant noise during combat.
• The "DEAD ANGLE" text popup looks slightly nicer.
• The engine overdrive special looks a bit nicer when the player turns.
• The short-range radar looks very slightly nicer.

• Fix aircraft behaving weirdly when trying to land on moving targets
• Fix the dialog typewriter effect not taking non-visible characters into account properly.
• Fix "DEV_ONLY" weapon category showing up in builds.
• Fix some ships being able to achieve a radar/sonar range of 0.
• Fix lag when taking extremely large ships into "The Cat's Away"
• Fix performance issues on missions that have shield emitter beams
• Fix the "spinDegPerSec" property for projectiles being ignored
• The Apotamkin's guns now fire at the end of its phase-2 cinematic.
• The Ammo Depot part no longer unlocks supercavitating drives.
• Fix missing textures on container ships in "The Fallen"
• Fix timer not being visible in "The Pillars of Heracles"
• Fix the ship picker UI looking bad on especially widescale displays
• Fix final fleets not spawning in a timely fashion in "Chrysalis"
• Fix damage from ships being on fire counting towards the combo counter.
• Fix fire damage causing a lot of audible SFX
• Fix the escape sequence at the end of "Winter" having some minor visual issues
• Fix SFX from the end of "Winter" continuing to play into the mission summary
• Fix the new-decal menu in the designer failing to slide all the way offscreen.

• Fix the "unlockedByOtherTech" property. Modded parts can now be unlocked by the player unlocking vanilla parts.
