Zero-K v1.12.6.0 - Likho's New Look

Likho has a new model by brunocb, giving it a proper singularity bomb. This update also has many fixes and a few balance changes. Some of the fixes are due to an engine update, such as a decades-old bug that caused reverse-built units to sometimes try to slide off the map. On the balance front, Bulkhead now has a bit more range than Stinger, Duck is a bit better, and Disco Rave Party spins faster.

Balance

**Duck **is no longer the equal-slowest raider.

• Speed 90 -> 93 elmo/s (no longer matches Bandit)

• Missile range 235 -> 232 (matches Bandit)

• Missile turn rate increased by 16% so it reliably hits Dart.

**Bulkhead ** is more sturdy and can safely shoot at Stinger.

• Stays deployed while mid-air

• Range 600 -> 640

• Sight range 660 -> 700

**Crab ** and **Bulkhead **can deploy mid-air.

**Kodachi **is killed in one fewer shots by Dagger.

• Health 680 -> 660

Disco Rave Party has all its bearings replaced.

• Base turn rate increased by 25%

• Maximum fire rate increased by 6.7%

• Spin-up rate increased by 18%

• Increased minimum turn rate by 25%

• Can turn without spinning down so far, as a result of the above.
