We're running on a new server and new operating system, so apologies in advance for any bugs.

The dock has been transferred to the planet rather than a separate structure to reduce the chances of stalemates.
There has been a page ...

Changes for the new game tomorrow…

Adding scrap to the base (or dock) will only increase the maximum hitpoints if the current hitpoints are increased above the maximum.
Dock repairs no longer score any points, but the amount done per repair should be higher.
Logging for changes to VC in LC ...

Fixed this in the sp.

Bug on the mobile/app version.

I can dump scrap (button says “Dump Scrap”) On the mobile version (button says “Install to Base”)

The self repair and the cloak buttons seem very close together when using a touch screen device.

Bombers - points and bonus points adjusted
Level loss when you die - this has been adjusted, you lose 2 levels (except in your own homeworld) when changing legion you cannot keep levels - total score bug fixed.
Only repair ships can carry scrap.
Bases are now 35k (up from 15k)
Hyper window is 15 ...

Total score is wrong for any pilot that has died above level 3. So when you die at level 4 you get 8k extra in your total and when you die at level 5 you get 16k extra in your total.

Edit: as this only currently affects Inferno I have fixed this manually.
