Not much to say for this one. I've gotten a bit of feedback on 0.987, and that in addition to some time to think has given me some more thoughts on what is needed. Many of the slight changes that didn't make it into the last version are being added with this one. This takes the form of several clarifications and fixes for some of the new rules. Missile costs have been fixed, enemy vehicles with old attributes have been updated, and several personal-scale weapons have been slightly balanced. The Shredder has also been given some much needed love, being updated into a 10cr heavy weapon. As always, see the patch notes for more in-depth details on the various changes.
Here's the new version.
