# Balancing
"We had a few issues with PDCs being way stronger during the early game than intended, so we changed their damage type to the same as anti-fighter cannons, leaving their specialty of destroying torpedoes and fighters intact, but reducing the damage to everything else."
* PDCs now deal fragment damage, ie. more damage to torpedoes + fighters, less damage to other things
** This only affects new PDCs
** Damage to torpedoes and fighters remains the same
** Damage to other things is decreased to 10%
* Persecutors no longer spawn in sectors with alliance or player ships that wouldn't trigger the spawn by themselves
* Scaled down damage of used turrets in fighter factory based on their slots


# Graphics
"Improved visuals to better display torpedoes, so you know where they come or came from and what exactly hit you."
* Added a torpedo engine tail
** Tail has the same color as the warhead to show which torpedo is coming


# UI
"Mostly convenience things, and we also added a way to change the ingame difficulty without you having to edit .ini files."
* Turrets no longer lose their favorite or trash marker when built onto a ship
* Added a combo box for the ingame game menu to change difficulty
** Only in singleplayer or when you have the correct permissions on the server
* Added borders to dropdown menus of UIComboBox
* Added a pause key


# Misc
* Added more debug info on exception in workpool thread


# Server
* Added a /difficulty command to change the difficulty of the server
