- Adjusted physics to not be so choppy
- Changed enemy ground gas areas to be more performant
- Changed smaller enemies to not collider with larger ones
- Changed assault cannon projectile visual
- Changed shot cannon projectile visual
- Changed burst turret projectile visual
- Changed auto sniper projectile visual
- Changed auto turret projectile visual

Seems like something was misconfigured with the physics engine leading to choppy timesteps dispite having high fps. Also, put in proper effects for the light projectiles. Smaller enemies can now pass through larger ones so they don't get stuck behind the slow swarm.

- Imported new enemy models that have been in the works. Still need to optimize them and don't have bosses or hatchery models yet.
- Removing upgraded cards from a deck now refunds credits spent upgrading it
- Deleting a deck now refunds credits for all upgraded cards
- Duplicating a deck no longer copies the upgraded status of the source deck
- Increased default light projectile hitbox from 0.25 to 0.35
- Implemented a weighted draw table for choices for level-up. This table takes into account what cards you have and will add more chances for cards that apply to multiple weapons. Also increased default weights of shield and pickup area by default.
- Fixed campaign stage rewards not presenting upgraded versions if upgraded in the library
- Fixed discovery cost display on pick+draw button fixed
- Added ship stats to pause menu
- Added movement mode in control options, you can choose smooth physics (default), or direct transform which will make it more snappy/rigid as the ship will change velocity immediately.

Hopefully, the new enemy models look good and you can see them better and the new weighted draw system smooths out the RNG on runs. Let me know what you think!

All your reports guided daily hotfixes that, hopefully, made the game better. I am happy Star Survivor received so much attention.
