Close Air Support (CAS)
Pilots now have a way to directly assist marines on the ground by firing on any targets that they designate. This is done with signal flares and laser designators, which SLs and FTLs get for free, but any squad role can buy for points.
Communicate on the JTAC (:j) channel when firing, or risk getting "good hits"! And remember that the offset does not change where you fire in direct bombardment!
The only gun currently implemented is the GAU-21 30mm cannon with two types of ammo:
PGU-100 Multi-Purpose: Deals 105 damage and pierces 10 armor, taking 10 seconds to reach the target with a 3-tile spread.
PGU-105 30mm Anti-tank: Deals 80 damage and pierces 40 armor, taking 6 seconds to reach the target with a 4-tile spread.
The GAU-21 and its ammo can be printed by the dropship part fabricator, and loaded onto each dropship's weapon points, two in the front, and two on the sides. They will have a green outline when mousing over them.
Fire missions and more guns will come soon in a future update, including mini-rocket pods, rockets, and the laser cannon, alongside other attachments for dropships such as the medevac, fulton, and paradropping.
Piloting skill is now also fully implemented, meaning that pilots with the required skill can shorten the dropship travel time from 100 seconds to 50 seconds!
The dropship hiajck now also takes 180 seconds, up from 100 seconds, and has a warning for marines 10 seconds before impact.
See the video above for a demonstration.
Second floor Almayer
Command no longer has to lead the operation from a cramped room in briefing, and MP no longer has to make a makeshift holding cell for prisoners.
Both the CIC and Brig are located on the second floor, which you can reach by clicking on one of the many ladders, or walking up the four sets of stairs leading up to it.
This update also includes 150 security cameras watchable from the many security consoles, and improvements to the first floor of the Almayer.
This also means that each role will spawn in its intended position now.
Pilots, SOs, COs and XOs now also have access to their designated equipment racks, added by Salazar "Cyclops" Petrovich.
Scout Specialist
Contributed by Lank
It comes with a custom rifle that deals more damage and, most importantly, invisibility on the move.
Remember, the thermal cloak goes into your backpack slot!
Sneak into the hive, coordinate with the pilots on the JTAC channel, and call in air support, if you manage to survive for long enough. Your invisibility won't make you fully invisible, but it will make you much harder to see.
Boiler neurotoxin gas
Contributed by Verm
The Boiler has had its missing neurotoxin gas bombard added, which can be toggled with the "Toggle Gas Type" ability.
Neurotoxin will not deal damage to barricades, but it will severely disorient and potentially kill any marines caught inside the cloud.
Barricade and resin structure invincibility frames
Contributed by Verm
Barricades and resin structures can now be hit a maximum of 3 times per second, to prevent deathstacking.
This is to account for SS14 not having tile movement, where many xenos or marines can stack on one tile to melee-attack the same structure.

🆕 - Added close air support and the GAU-21 30mm cannon.

⚒️ - Every role now spawns where they are intended to. The MP brig is on the far left of the second floor, and the CIC (Overwatch consoles) is located towards the center of the second floor. Every squad role now spawns on the same spot depending on the role, with specs and squad leaders on the left for example.
⚒️ - Increased the amount of tackles that a Hivelord, Lurker, Spitter and Queen need to bring down a marine. Hivelord now requires 4, up from 3, Lurker requires 5, up from 4, Queen requires 4, up from 3, and Spitter requires 5, up from 4.

One of the Patrons, @DiRaven, has collected some statistics for the first month since RMC-14's release, see below!
It's been over a month since the game was made publicly accessible. Some random stats and insights over this period:
The game has a pretty solid core of dedicated players that seem to like it a lot
There were 5764 unique players in total.
They played 428 rounds.
There were 2 especially active and impactful players that affected the balance of power a lot. One of them as Xeno Queen, the other as Commanding Officer. Pretty sure, they both know who they are, their names won't be stated.
The top 10 active players played well over 200 rounds each. The most dedicated ones played well over 250.
Each unique player played 14.4 rounds on average.
Factions and maps
Xenonids had the most success with the Fiorina Science Annex map.
Marines had the most success with the LV-624 map.
On average, Xenonids tend to win during US prime time, and UNMC tends to win during EU prime time.
On average, Xenonids tend to win more on new maps while UNMC picks up the pace over time as tactics evolve and map knowledge improves.
Roles
38000 Marine Riflemans accompanied by 6000 Hospital Corpsmans and 4500 Combat Techs participated in operations. *(counting every operation as an independent event)*
As expected, combat roles are much more popular than support and RP-heavy ones across the board.
One of the very dedicated players played **40 rounds as a correspondent**. Another 2 very dedicated players played almost **50 rounds as quartermaster** each.
Remember, quartermaster is one of the least popular jobs played, with even correspondent being more popular.
There are a couple of players that like to play xenonid drones specifically over everything else, for some reason.
There is a player with almost **80 rounds of Military Police** play. God bless their patience and dedication.
One of the rounds had a Ravager at some point.
Sentinel is the least common alien after that unique Ravager.

This is a smaller update focused on implementing some missing but crucial content.
The Overwatch Console
Command can now quickly see the status of every squad and view the battlefield through the camera installed into the helmet of every squad member! Make sure to communicate with your staff officer, as you will typically have one assigned to your squad on Overwatch.
This update also increases the maximum amount of staff officers, from 2 to 4.
Binoculars
Contributed by Verm
These will let you see very, very far in one direction, letting you spot any xenonids ahead before they even know you are there!
Squad and fireteam leaders get one for free, but the other roles can buy some too for points.
SL and FTL kits
The squad leader has gotten its M4SPR, M54C, and engineering kits added to its vendor. These kits contain some attachments and armor-piercing magazines, which can be used by the SL or handed out to their squad.
The FTL now has access to its basic kit, and all roles have received a pass for missing equipment in their racks.
Squad armor colors
Contributed by Whisper
Gone are the days of examining every person you see one by one, you can now quickly see what squad they belong to by looking at the colored strips on their helmet and armor!
Defensive Shield
Contributed by Verm
The Crusher has had its missing defensive shield ability added, which briefly grants it explosive immunity and greater armor.

DrSmugleaf updated:
🆕 - Added the M4SPR, M54C and Engineering kits to the Squad Leader's gear rack.
🆕 - Added the essential gear kit to the squad leader and fireteam leader racks. These contain normal binoculars and flares until signal flares and laser designators are implemented, and the leader kit contains a breaching charge until plastic explosives are implemented.
🆕 - Added binoculars to some squad vendors that were missing them.
🐛 - Fixed the squad leader, fireteam leader, specialist, comtech, corpsmen and riflemen not having an option to buy M44 marksman speed loaders, and some not having the option to buy MK80 magazines and SU-6 magazines.

🐛 - Fixed shotguns being a small item instead of large and Shivas having upstream toolboxes that could fit many more items than intended. Imagine the things we could have if people reported bugs, instead of silently powergaming them, leading to us wasting more time than necessary fixing them. We could have close air support, orbital bombardment, second floor of the Almayer, the construction, medical or shotgun updates. No, instead we have this bug-fix because only one person had the dignity and self-respect to report it in an AHelp and one on the Discord. Thank you anonymous users, no thank you to everyone else. Fuck my life.

As voted on in the Patreon feature priority poll, the Boiler has been added to the game!
It is a tier 3 xenonid that sieges marines with long-range globs of corrosive acid.
It and the Spitter share two common abilities: Acid Spray and Corrosive Tail Stab.
Acid Spray will damage and knock down any marines hit if they were recently hit with a charged acid spit. In the case of the Boiler, the charged acid spit requirement is waived, and the target is always knocked down instead.
Corrosive Tail Stab works like the regular tail stab, except it also injects the target hit with diluted molecular acid, dealing burn and toxin damage over time. This chemical can't be detected by health analyzers directly, which will instead print "Unknown Reagents Detected".
Speaking of health analyzers, they will now also point out if the patient is overdosing on any reagents!
The Demolitionist Kit for the Weapons Specialist (SADAR)
Contributed by Kaga-404
Comes with 3 high-explosive rockets and 2 armor-piercing rockets.
HE rockets will deal a large amount of damage in a small area where they land but less to explosively armored xenonids, while AP rockets have a lesser explosion but deal much more damage to a single target and stun them for six seconds, including the Queen!
Be careful not to have a teammate block you while shooting one of these though, or to shoot it too close to yourself. Where you click matters!
Fiorina Science Annex (Planet map)
Contributed by Cuir
As a marine, remember to barricade the hallways if you don't want to get flanked by xenonids, and to find the few patches of sand that are around in the landing zones to fill your sandbags.
As a xenonid, the map doesn't start with many weed nodes pre-placed, so you will need to use your time at round-start wisely.
Shivas Snowball (Planet map)
Contributed by noctis
Temperature mechanics aren't implemented yet, which means that you don't need to worry about the cold as a marine, but what you will have to worry about is crossing the large open area between the top left landing zone and the rest of the map!
Guns as melee weapons and many attachment changes
Contributed by Sigil
Any gun can now be used to melee attack with right-click, and the damage dealt is increased if a bayonet is attached to its front.
Alongside this, the magnetic harness, bipod, and M44 magnum sharpshooter stock have been added to the game.
See the full list of changes below for all of the changes to guns!
Hijack soundtracks
Contributed by Bolgarich
The same Bolgarich that composed the Deadline track for expeditions in regular Space Station 14!
The two new tracks are Tango with Bloodshed and Hiking in The Fog.
If you haven't had a chance to listen to them yet, check them out on his YouTube channel here!
Hiking in the Fog was originally intended to be used when the fog falls in LV, however since we now have so many new maps that don't use fog, we opted to use it as hijack music as well.
M44 Revolver
Contributed by Antonio Rizzo
The revolver has now been added, alongside its speed-loaders.
If you need a sidearm for self-defense or as a backup try one of these, as its regular ammo deals 72 damage with 5 armor-piercing, and its marksman ammo deals 55 damage with 35 armor-piercing.
Primary Landing Zones
Command may now choose a primary landing zone at the start of the round.
This signals to the pilots where they should drop on the piloting UI, and prevents the other landing zone from being used for a hijack by the Queen.
Crash Landing
If you find yourself thrown into space while the dropship is traveling, you will no longer be doomed to type /ghost in chat or to AHelp, instead the game will now automatically teleport you to a random spot on the planet and instantly kill you!
Be careful walking too far into space while on the warship as well, as that will also land you face-first onto the planet.
Evolution point changes
Once five minutes have passed, the Queen must be in her ovipositor for her xenonids to gain any evolution points.
This was a missing feature that we didn't have time to add until now, but that should lower the amount of frontlining Queens.

🐛 - Fixed tail stab hitting more targets than intended. It now only hits a maximum of 1 target, down from 3.

🐛 - Fixed xenonids being able to watch other xenonids without a Queen.
DrSmugleaf updated:
⚒️ - Dropship travel and cooldown times are the default from 13 again, 100 seconds to travel and 120 seconds to cool down. This gives marines more time to prepare after a hijack announcement. Be ready to cycle dropships or wait for dropship upgrades outside of that.

🐛 - Fixed hyposprays not having a delay on use for medically unskilled marines.
DrSmugleaf updated:
🐛 - Fixed weapons specialist ammo erroneously saying that a limit was reached when trying to buy them. This limit only applies to kits.

It has IFF, letting it shoot through marines like the smart gun. Get it in your equipment or gear rack for points if it's available for your role!
Alongside this, the MK80 pistol has had its magazines fixed, vastly increasing its damage to 45 and AP to 30, allowing it to punch through almost all the default armor on a defender.
Another important fix is for the smart gun operator, who no longer drops its smart gun when a xenonid stuns them.

The Smart Gun Operator update is now done, which was the winner of the first community-wide feature priority poll on Discord.
Few things to note:
These alternate between community-wide, and Patreon only.
All of these will eventually be implemented (this is not a Minecraft mob vote), but the winner will be implemented first. Alongside it, the Spitter and Crusher will have their missing abilities added as well.
The poll will run for 24 hours, after which Whisper and me will focus on implementing it.
Its implementation should be much faster than that of the Smart Gun Operator, as we have less game-breaking bugs to focus on fixing now.
If, for any reason, the winner of one of these kinds of polls needs to get delayed, the vote will be re-made.
Other contributors are free to contribute any or none of these things. This is just what Whisper and me will focus on.
Polls will typically have all marine options or all xeno options, to not force people to choose between the two sides. They will alternate as well to ensure that both stay balanced.
Boiler: Bring the Hive's ranged combat castes to their maximum potential with long range acid glob shots, allowing you to bombard and heavily damage areas after a bit of setup. Use your enhanced vision to locate targets without being seen and shot. Use your acid lance for close range defense. Use your incredibly strong acid to make short work of everything in your way.
Praetorian: A good all-round combatant with potent spit, the powerful Acid Ball for an area-of-effect attack, and good melee damage. Your acid line spray makes for good cover for a retreat, as it stuns and knocks down anyone who walks into it.
Ravager: Bring death to all that face you. Use charge to close the gap between you and a marine, and finish them off with powerful blows capable of chopping limbs clean off. Hit and run and frontal assaults are your bread and butter, get used to tanking damage and dealing it. You don't need to hide any more.

You can download them by clicking here.
Most replays will be under alamo, as in the link above.
Normandy is the old second server that we temporarily had online, so it only has a handful of replays.
Simyon also hosts a third-party replay viewer, which you can use to find different replays and stats about them by clicking here.
Some things to note:
Bigger replays may take a long time and a large amount of RAM to load.
Some old replays were cut off before round end, as they were too large for the default replay size limit. Smaller replays and any newer than around a week old will not have that problem.

New planet map: Solaris! Contributed by Tunguso4ka
This is our second planet map, which will be randomly picked each round.
It features a large cave system for the xenonids to build their hive in, with an open space where the marines start pushing from.
This will also allow us to implement survivors in the future, who will have to defend themselves from the xenonids until the marines arrive on the planet.
Many new attachments. Contributed by Siigiil
This includes all standard attachments, excluding the bipod, under-barrel extinguisher, under-barrel flamer, and any attachments specific to weapons that are not implemented yet.
The Warrior's lifesteal passive. Contributed by DrSmugleaf
The Warrior was missing its passive from SS13, which restores its health with each attack.
Limited to 1 heal per melee attack, it heals the Warrior for 7% of its current missing health, adding 1% for each marine within a 3 tile radius of it, to a maximum of 9% total. Minimum heal of 20, maximum heal of 40. A popup is displayed to the Warrior and marines if the max of 9% is reached. This does not count nested nor dead marines.
