New Plane Skins:
Checkers
FlamesSanta Hat
Interface:
Added Map, Time (round duration), and Next Map to award screen
Added "Bomb Camera" spectate option to TBD mode -- press C to toggle Free/Chase/Bomb spectate modes
Added "Chase Specific Player" spectate option -- you can lock the camera to a single player via the score screen (hold TAB to show scores, right click player, choose 'Spectate...')
Added "[Warning] You have been idle for 4 minutes." message (with beep) to help spectators avoid idle kicks
Increased the visibility of the Mouse crosshair and the Keyboard+Mouse orientation cone
New title screen background
Replaced welcome screen buttons with changelog
Friend list: increased visibility of current server and last online time; added buttons for "Join Server" and "Message"; increased max friend count to 200
Friend chat windows (Menu -> Friends) no longer consume the escape key allowing easy toggling between gameplay and chat
If a tournament is in progress, the score screen (TAB) will render the names of participants that are currently spectating with the color of the team they are assigned to
If a tournament is started with even teams and teams become uneven at any point during the tournament a red warning will appear in the top right (Teams: X vs Y)
Spectators can now visually determine which team an acid cloud belongs to (left team's acid is light green, right team's acid is dark green)Hangar Deck -> Stats has a new row, "Total"
