This weeks update adds a new introductory difficulty level. The existing difficulty level has been rolled into "Hard" and the new difficulty appears as "Normal". This setting eases the reigns on resource restrictions, giving plenty of space to dip into all your options with adjustments like extra rest hours and an expanded cargo hold.

Additionally, the base sight range has been massively increased so players can traverse the map more purposefully and start more interesting engagements. Consequentially, this has amped up the difficulty, making it easier to end up in large scale battles. Some small changes such as the heat cost of sprinting have been applied to help ease the difficulty spike caused by this change.
