1.3.0

Version 1.3.0 is live! This update is all about making every match feel different.

POWER-UPS Five temporary power-ups now spawn around the arena. Only the first pilot to reach one gets it, and you can hold one at a time:

• Triple Shot – two extra side bullets per shot, no extra ammo cost (15 s) • Shield – absorbs up to 3 hits (20 s) • Overdrive – +50% thrust and no fuel consumption (10 s) • Double Damage – twice the bullet damage (12 s) • Mega Magnet – 3× scrap pickup radius (20 s)

Active power-ups show as a visible aura around your ship, so everyone knows who to avoid.

ARENA EVENTS Every few minutes a random event hits the whole room, with a short warning first:

• Supply Drop – power-ups and scrap piles rain across the map • Meteor Shower – waves of meteors sweep across the arena • Black Hole – pulls in ships and asteroids. It won't damage you, but escaping takes full thrust and fuel • Pirate Convoy – armored cargo ships cross the map under pirate escort. Take them down for a big scrap haul and a power-up before they get away

OTHER CHANGES • New kill feed messages and on-screen banners for arena events • Performance and stability improvements

Thanks for playing, and see you in the arena!
