Summary (AI)

Drone Sector patch 1.4 introduces a public previous-version Steam branch for v0.1.3 and updates several maps with lighting adjustments and added cover. The HUD toggle key is changed to Numpad 0, and unimplemented research options are now hidden. Vehicle movement and AI have been reworked for better control, while railgun hits now deal armor-piercing damage with increased area-of-effect. Tactical pathfinding has been improved for faster iteration, though it may impact performance, and ground-to-ground friendly fire is disabled outside Sandbox Mode.

Tip: expand all for quick scanning.

Hid research options that have not yet been implemented.
Vehicles now slow down more cautiously before making turns.
Disabled ground-to-ground friendly fire on all difficulty levels. It remains available as an option in Sandbox Mode.
Reworked the tactical pathfinding layer. It now pre-calculates more navigation data, and the tactical navigation graph is generated automatically. This allows for faster iteration, improved consistency, and denser pathfinding data.
