Forget the new engine version, we're going in! New graphics, some long-awaited balance changes, and even a funky new GUI skin await in this February's stable.Graphics
- New models for Crane, Rapier, Valkyrie and Vindicator by Exit_Wound
- New EMP missile trails
- New slowbeam, Halberd & Buoy impact FX
- Add flashing effect when a unit is resurrected
- Fixed Dominatrix beam position
- Fixed Detriment triple gun animation
- Fixed normals on amphibs and some jumpbots
Units
Annihilator:
- Cost 1500 -> 1800
- Reload time 8s -> 10s
DDM:
- Main cannon range 700 -> 650
Phoenix
- No longer deforms ground
Starlight
- Fixed divergence between continuous and pulse beams at long range
Firefly (companion drone):
- Health 160 -> 200
Newtons are less effective against gunships.
Valkyrie accelerates and ascends/descends much faster (general buff, nerfs transport launchers).
All aircraft can be ordered to manually land at airpads, not just bombers.
Anti-air missiles can be fired at much higher targets depending on the missile's flight time.
Sumo:
- Jump reload time 18s -> 15s
Disco Rave Party:
- Yellow shot damage 0 -> 800
Wreckages for Flea and Gnat. Now all non-suicidal units (not Claw, Tick, Roach, Blastwing, Puppy, Skuttle) should have wreckages.
Fixed some impulse values for weapons (in particular, this includes a buff for Leveler, commander Riot Cannon and Concussion Shell, Disco Rave Party and Zenith).
Commanders
Singleplayer (non-modular) comms can morph to higher levels.
Hellfire Grenade:
- Reload time 16s -> 12s
High Power Servos:
- Speed bonus 10% -> 15%
Interface
- Keybinds are now saved to LuaUI/Configs/zk_keys.lua, rather than being hidden in LuaUI/Configs
- Resorted many menu options to make the menu less cluttered. As a side effect, some options may be reset.
- New GUI skin: Twilight
- Any unit's description window can be accessed through Help -> Unit Descriptions
- Binding a key to a unit command also binds Shift+key, if it was not part of the original keyset

- Construction priority has a floating icon (when Shift is held)
- Added option for selection window background color
- Fixed cursor transparency under certain hardware settings
- Fixed clickable areas on chat
- Fixed negative healthbars
- Auto Reclaim/Heal/Assist is now under Units category in list
CAI
- CAI checks for enemies near mex spots before attempting to mex
- Constructors with jumpjets will use them to escape enemies
Chicken
- Speed mode is now a modoption
- New chicken defense, the Rafflesia static shield
Missions
- Persistent messages are stored in history; look better in non-default skins
Misc.
- Advanced (COFC) camera handles more smoothly and reliably; resets state with just Ctrl+Alt+middleclick (previously Shift was needed as well)
- Widget settings are backed up at each run
