Updates for August 15

The surge of traffic from my reddit post has now largely subsided, leaving me some time to start acting on the feedback I've received.

Today's updates:
  • Fixed the bug that sometimes prevented units from being displayed on the minimap.
  • Updated the Luna map with smaller energy deposits that are concentrated near the middle (so that they must be fought over). Also added a new map called Centros.
  • Craft updates:
    • Added the Deployment Pad craft, which can be used to extend your deployment zone.
    • Gave the Artillery Gun craft a larger firing range, and renamed it Fixed Artillery (since it can only fire in one direction).
    • Ensured that all craft can move backward so that they don't get stuck when they fly toward the edge of a map.
    • Reduced the number of generators in the default detachment from 5 to 2. This will put more emphasis on reactors and buildcraft.
    • Buildcraft and Regenerators are no longer free to deploy (this was a mistake).
    • Trident Fortresses and Twin Turrets have more starting health, since it was very difficult to defend against an attack.
  • Added a display name prompt when you first sign in.
  • Changed the battle console to default to the larger size.
  • Added browser compatibility information to the landing page.
  • Made a multitude of other small bug fixes and interface improvements that aren't worth listing.
More soon!
