[/list] [h2]Removal of Magazine Detonation[/h2] Based on player feedback, we've decided to change our stance on the magazine detonation mechanic and are going to remove it from the game entirely starting with Update 13.11 This change goes hand-in-hand with another series of changes, including the [b]removal of the Juliet Charlie signal[/b], which will be replaced with the [b]new Charlie Kilo signal[/b], increasing ship HP and squadron HP by +5% and +2.5%, respectively. The [b]Magazine Modification 1[/b] upgrade will be removed entirely, and all of its owners will automatically receive full compensation in Credits.
