Final 0.3.0 Changelog Notes: Current state 06/12/2010 Balance - Almost every weapon has been rebalanced using the new internal balacing tools. - Armor across all vehicles has been rebalanced as well. - All vehicle variants adjusted to match perfectly to improved tonnage rules.

If there are multiple weapons that need ammo, buy ammo for that weapon selected in the firegroup manager. - Added possibility to limit player / team respawns with Tickets in Solaris Arena and Test of Strength modes. - Added HUD display for player / team tickets (if team tickets are inactive the ticket display is used for regular team score). - Added server variable so that limits teams to IS and Clan assets only (aka "IS vs Clan" mode). - C-Bill transfer disabled during combat (damage taken), 2 minutes after suicides and reconnections. - APC owners are now rewarded with 5000 C-Bills for every BA that spawns at their APC. - ECM and passive radar now increase lock time for missiles (passive and ECM delay effects will stack) - Added three state radar detection: 1. First state (between 60% and 100% with no line of sight): You only have a blip indicating a valid target and distance. 2.
