issue 27 [Beta] Patch Notes for August 11th, 2021

[Faultline]

General

 

This patch is being fast-tracked to Live to support the Cimerora Contest for Mission Architect. Because it's being fast-tracked, it doesn't include some of the cheats that you're used to seeing in Brainstorm, such as the Freebies Menu and all recipes being free of Salvage costs. Those will return after this patch is promoted to Live, hopefully as early as next Tuesday.

Currently this patch is only available via the HCLauncher, the manifests for Tequila/Island Rum have not been updated yet.

I'm with Tequila and it's just downloaded updates for HC Beta. Most likely this one.

Ah the love for Cimeroran! Thank you ever so, I'd been wanting to add more specific Cimerorans to an AE mission I'd been working on. 🙂

Excited to see new stuff.

I think Sister Solaris and Sybil Bramlet's AV versions were replaced by Boss versions in the update in the Cimeroran group.

 

They used to be available as AVs - Would be great to have both options.
