New version out!

[Magnus Profile]

Great Scott! We have so much going on here, the Astroflux team is working like crazy these days. So, today we have one the the biggest updates to Astroflux since the dawn of time. Here is a sum up of the changes:

1. Missions
Yes, missions is finally here! New players start of with simple missions that works almost like a tutorial, introducing the different game mechanics. Experienced players will also get this retroactive even though it might be really simple tasks. These simple tasks leads to level progress missions that will be an infinite chain of reaching higher level goals (with pretty decent rewards!).

Also, we added a PvP mission chain, that lets you choose sides. Either choose the path of the Pirate, hunting down the innocent and taking their cargo. Or choose to join the Astroflux Police force, that hunts down the dreaded Pirates and upholds the laws of the galaxy.

More missions will be added shortly, and keep you ideas flowing in the <forum thread about mission ideas>, we will surely read and use ideas from there!

2. Weapon changes

Reworked Mines:
5 sec activation timer
No longer detonates on friendly targets

Slight Auto Aim on:
Acid blaster
Sticky bombs
Gatling gun
Blaster
Flamer

Improved net code for and slight Auto Aim for:
