Patch 3652 (May 2, 2016)

Lobby

• Name filter when selecting map
• Prevent host from changing player teams while he is ready
• Game quality in lobby now visible again
• Reduced autobalance random variation to get team setups with better overall quality
• Default to score off
• Stopped the map filter preventing the map selected in prefs from prior games from showing
• Tiny fix to flag layout

UI

• Introduced Russian translations of many FAF additions to the game (Exotic_Retard and PerfectWay)
• Translate some FAF additions to Italian
• New keybindable action: 'soft_stop'
• Soft-stop will cancel all orders of a factory except their current one, if you soft-stop a factory with only one order it will get cleared
• Hold down Alt when giving a factory order to soft stop factory before issuing next order
• Multi-upgrade: Added UI support to upgrade structures several levels at once (i.e: cybran shields, hives, mexes, factories etc)
• Auto-overcharge: It's now possible to let overcharge fire automatically whenever you have the required power
• Order repair on a wreck to rebuild it if possible by some of the selected engineers. Those not able to rebuild the wreck will assist after the build starts.
• Units explicitly repairing (not assisting) a structure that dies will automatically try to rebuild it
• Refactor the income economy overlay not to show reclaim values appearing in the generated income column and do correct rounding of the numbers.
• Fixed bug with unit regen debuff not being visible in UI
• Fixed bug with buildpower not visible in unitview
• Score display in the top-right no longer counts reclaim into the Mass/Energy income shown in observer mode
• Allow Hotbuild to find Support Factories

• Show ren_networkstats in Connectivity Screen (F11)
• Show name of the one resuming a paused game
• Reverted the change to T1 PD icons from 3641, so now they don't give free intel on mouse-over when trying to fake PD-wall with all-wall radar ghosts.

• Diplomacy now allowed in Coop mode
• Allow Fatboy, Atlantis, Tempest and Czar to fire while building units
• Beam weapons now kill missiles they impact instead of wasting DPS for several ticks
• Aeon ACU upgrade "Chrono Dampener" won't stun allied units any more. Additionally, it will fire at predetermined ticks so the effects of multiple acu's do not stack.
• Increased TMD range by 1 and ROF by 0.2s to prevent a single TML killing a single TMD by using ground-fire to impact before the second TMD shot fires.
• Fixed Cybran T3 MAA doing friendly damage on 1 of its 2 AA weapons
• Fixed Cybran T3 MAA hitbox/bones making lots of units miss
• Fixed Seraphim T1 sub not being hit by torpedoes 80% of the time while surfaced.

• Fixed Underwater Vision not being initialized on unit completion
• Fixed Engineers not properly reclaiming the target of an assisted, then stopped, Engineer
• Fixed UEF Drones being untargetable by Interceptors
• Fixed UEF Drone collision detection, making it much easier for ground-based AA to hit them

T3 Land HQ

Build time: 9400 → 11000

Sonars

T2 sonar

• Mass cost: 120 → 150 (sera stays 180)
• Energy drain: 100 → 150

UEF/Aeon T3 sonar

• Energy drain: 100 → 250

Cybran T3 sonar

Energy/Mass overflow

The bug, that caused resources to disappear when they got shared to several teammates and one of them had full storage does not exist and is a FAF urban legend.
