New option: Gameplay Speed
- I have a good news for everyone, who found this game a bit too fast paced. There is a new requested option: 'Gameplay Speed'. It effects on the speed of units creation, base building, resource extraction, avatar’s level.

Limit Of Units
- Now limit of units is dependent on the quantity of captured or created Energy Sources. On start your limit is 100 units. For each new Energy Source after 10, you will get 10 additional unit points (up to 200).
Note that different units has different crew coefficient: for soldier-class units it is 1, for tank-class units it is 2-3, for battleship-class units it is 10.

Game Chat
- Now you can use chat even in the action mode: press button '`' to enable chat mode, then press 'Enter' to send message or exit chat mode.

Requested Key-mapping changes
- Keys for rotating strategy camera: ‘Q/E’ or ‘Left Alt’ or ‘Mouse Wheel’ button.
- Activate button has been changed to 'F'.
- Find button has been changed to 'C'.
These and other keys can be changed in the launch menu, input section.

Experimental Functions
- I just added this new option in the settings menu. It unlocks some new but not well tested features. So, you can use them at your own risk;)
The first of them is the ability to order buildings and airstrikes in the action mode. How it works:
Press F3 and you will see icons of bildings on the bottom-right side of the screen.
Then press button 1-8 to order a building.
Press F4 and you will see icons of orbital strikes on the bottom-right side of the screen.
Then press button 1-5 to order an airstrike.
You will see the progress on the mid-right and will be informed when it is done and ready to deploy. You still need to go to the strategy mode to deploy it.

Hidden Enemy Troops
- Now hidden enemy troops are available in the multiplayer

Balance Changes
- Starting level of energy increased by 20% for all the combat avatars.
- Attack speed and range of Berserks was increased.

Bug Fixes

- Fixed with teams and factions in the multiplayer.
- Fixed bug with difficulty in the multiplayer.
- Fixed bug with the game physics.
- Fixed bug with camera for vehicles.
- Fixed bug with scrolling hosts list.

This is new alien units which are already available in the game:

Berserk

Alien Berserk is designed for breakthrough in battle. It is armed with a powerful impulse generator, four glowing blades and able to move around on land and on the seabed. Berserks are effective in the fight against infantry and armored vehicles but are useless against enemy aircraft.

I just created and added this units to the game, so they probably changed the gameplay balance. But I hope to fix that with your advices.
