Infinite waves!

An often requested feature was infinite waves for the wave defense game mode. We've had to brainstorm a bit on how to best implement it, but I think we found a good solution. You can now toggle the infinite waves checkbox in the wave survival setup menu. Instead of 1 big boss after 10 waves you now get a mini-boss assault-platform that attacks you every fifth wave! They have long range weaponry but aren't especially tanky... Their damage output is serious though!

In addition to that we did the following:

• Added the multi-ion beamweapon
• Adding a techfrigate with built in self-repair and 4 module slots
• SAVE/LOAD support in all Single Player game modes
• Fixed randomizer error preventing type B to be spawn.
• Added the Support Platform wave miniboss
• Added the Support Platform type B wave miniboss
• Improved the visuals for several menus
• Updated the visuals of the scorescreen
• Updated the splashscreen
• Added the Box Attack functionality so that people can try it out to multi-select
• Tweaked shield visuals and shield impact visuals
• Doubled the size of Zabu Repairs in Battle Royale
• Updated score screen functionality
• In battle royale you can now 'order' ships before the game starts from the multiplayer menu
• Fleet loadouts now can be switched without visiting the fleet editor (multiplayer lobbies only for now).
• In Battle Royale mode you now will be able to pick your starting fleet
• Your starting funds in BR will be 3600/3600 minus the cost of your spawned fleet.
• If you won't select any starting ship - game will spawn first ship in your loadout

I've also decided to experiment with some more engine variations. You can see those changes below:

The following ships now have Green Engine Flames:

• Frigate
• Raider
• Towerer

The following ships now have Yellow/orange Engine Flames:

• Bee

The following ships now have Purple Engine Flames:

• Colony
• Nest

The following ships now have Teal engine flames:

• Fish
• Hammerer
• Flint

The following ships now have Red engine flames:

• Ant

Wrapup
That's it for this update! There's a few things we still want to improve upon and we will gradually add those as well. May you be safeguarded from The Light. See you in space!
