New unit: The Disruptor Cannon, unlocks at 60 kills (same number of kills as the Battleship) and is a long range super artillery unit. The Disruptor does more damage to targets further away. It also has the Heated Round ability which allows a single bullet to shoot through several targets. Its range is equivalent to the distance between team blue and team red command centers (map-dependent) and it cannot damage Command Centers.
High performance mode now available by playing the game at stba.io/?high_performance=true. High performance mode will disable many performance-taxing cosmetic features, such as lights, flashes, burners, clouds, smoke, etc.
Canvas rendering mode now shows unit shadows (access canvas rendering mode via stba.io/?rendering=canvas).
Now if you destroy a unit not in camera, the +XP text will display above your unit.
Redid the score screen to show player kills and removed unimportant stats.
Ion Cannon now does 50% less damage to the Command Center.
Demolisher base damage increased from 200 to 240; range increased from 600 to 700.
Manta base damage increased from 110 to 120.
You can now get your current FPS and average FPS by typing in "get fps" in the chat while in a game.
A dialog box with performance tips now appears if your average FPS is below a certain threshold.
Fixes
Fixed buildings sometimes being invisible when you first join a game already in session.
Should be easier to get losses now.
Explosion sound should now play if the camera is following a long range bullet.
I don't like the Disruptor Cannon. A stationary javelin that can only damage units LATEGAME. Only use is attacking players and cover buildings, and barely requires and uses skill. Even a Roller needs better tactics in all honesty. Hopefully something gets done with it.
