UltraBot Upgraded!

UltraBot has spent some time in the shop, not satisfied with how easily an array of T.A.T's could take him down.  The upgrades include two new Shield Drones, and an Repair Drone system to support and heal him.

The Shield Drones, based on the existing Aerial Missile Platform designs, have been beefed up, and now replenish UltraBot's shields quite rapidly.

The Repair Drones do the same, but will repair UltraBots health.

Here is the catch, you can target and kill these drones with AA weapons, the sooner you take the drones out, the better chance you will have of bringing him down. 

Team Lives - a new difficutly option

We have added a new option when you first start a co-op game.  Everyone can now vote on how many Team Lives your team will have. The options change slightly depending on how many players you have, and you can choose unlimited lives (which is essentially what we have now).

When you choose the amount of Team Lives, every time a Hero dies (is not revived after being incapacitated), one of your Team Lives is deducted.

The number of lives your team has is shown at the top of the HUD.

Once the team has no lives left, if a Hero becomes incapacitated you will get 60 seconds to revive them.  If they die, your team loses the game.

Turret Range Indicators

Turrets including the G.A.T, A.A.T and T.A.T now have range indicator rings, visible when you select them.  This will give you a better idea of where you can place turrets to be most effective.

The green ring shows the maximum range, and the orange ring shows the minimum range if applicable.

Other Important Changes:

Friendly fire is now disabled, you can't a friendly hero, there is simply no need for it unless you are griefing someone.

Added a new option to the settings, allowing you to change the position of your weapon buttons or hide them.
