From ZeroK: link to original post

Following the success Orbital Sniper Technique in recent field trails, our top engineers have been hard at work designing a large scale Orbital Sniper Base to protect us from the impeding Chicken Threat. Disaster struck when, early in construction, a crippling issue was discovered with with a pivotal component to the design. After thoroughly checking their results our top scientists concluded that Surfboard is no longer transportable. Leading theorists suggest that a recent change to the Laws of Physics is at work. With this roadblock the entire Orbital Sniper Project has been scrapped.

Licho responded to this with the following statement:
  • AoE 256 -> 192
  • Damage 2500 -> 2000

Also:
  • Brawler cost 850 -> 800
  • Multi-Stunner, +12.5% AoE, +25% spread, +100% duration, +8.5% damage
  • Disintegrator Gun, ~10% more reload time
  • Shock Rifle, 5% less range
  • SLAM, +43% reload time, +35% damage
