Update 2.54.0: C4 Special Missions and Back Mounted Radar

This week's update delivers a crumb of Millennium Eclipse content with the addition of two new special missions. The Resistance Depot revolves around defending transport aircraft that take off between waves with the help of Resistance Granvir. The Anti Orbital Battery teams you up with the Resistance again to defend a battery of massive cannons as they fire. Both missions feature scaling rewards based on the number of defended targets and new enemy behavior that focuses on destroying these objectives.

There are now two remaining major features for the completion of campaign 4 including the communicator story and finale mission. Once these features and some smaller polish and adjustments are complete, Millennium Eclipse will be considered fully released and added to the Next Campaign+ rotation. As with all campaigns, adjustments and improvements will continue after completion.

2.54.0

Major Features

• Added the Resistance Depot special mission to Millennium Eclipse. Defending the evacuation of each transport aircraft will provide a small amount of random ballistic ammunition after each mission. One transport will depart each wave. 4 Squads of Resistance Coalition Granvir will help defend the evacuation points. Certain marked Millennium Company Granvir will focus entirely on destroying the transports.
• Added the Anti-Orbital Battery special mission to Millennium Eclipse. Defending the battery through all waves will reduce escalation by the amount of surviving cannons. Cannons will fire periodically causing targeting disruption for all Granvir. 4 Squads of Resistance Coalition Granvir will help defend the cannons. Certain marked Millennium Company Granvir will focus entirely on destroying the cannons.
• Added the PS Periscope back mounted radar module series to all tiers. The back module radar have greater mass, radar range and targeting range than special module radar.

Minor Features

• Added the RA Recoil Absorber special module series to all tiers. Recoil Absorbers provide a large amount of recoil control.
• Added marked Granvir that will focus entirely on destroying the Manufactorium in the Millennium Eclipse Manufactorium special mission.
• Extended the duration of the Millennium Eclipse preview campaign by 1 mission now that there are two additional missions on the map.
• Added targeting bloom during earthquakes so they affect the player and not just NPCs.

Fixes

• Removed the load checkpoint button if a campaign is failed in the first mission since there is no checkpoint from that campaign to load.
