We just released a preview build of the 1.1.0 update for Nimbatus. It would be awesome if you could test this build and report any bugs you can find!
We looked over all suggestions posted here https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/forum/96-11-update-feature-requests/ and picked the features that have the most upvotes and match the time scope and theme of this update the best.
The two new drone parts: wheels and grappling hook, need to be tested in the brawl / race and sumo mode so we can decide if we can allow those parts or if we have to ban them for the competitive modes. For that we've created a separate drone pool for this preview version.
So please play the competitive modes using the new parts and give us your feedback!

- New Racing drone skin awarded for the Speed Demon achievement
