New

Added live ZHI, BC and RM deploy queue depths to the desktop battle view.
Added exact before-and-after stats to the Combiner, shown before you confirm.

Reduced Tour favour earnings, was 1 favour per 100 damage absorbed, now 1 per 10,000.
Removed the random-output odds card from every Auctions page.
Raised desktop panel opacity over the world view, was 34%, now 75%.

Fixed the desktop battle leader line drifting off the mech torso.
Fixed faction names disappearing from the battle standby row when a logo failed to load.
