I won't lie... that was the worst flu I've had in awhile. Not that it lasted this long - rather it knocked me down for a week, I spent a week wobbling around trying to catch up on work in the office... mostly I'm annoyed how badly it pulled me from the loop.
BUT never fear - the dev diaries are coming. Some small changes (nothing to do with my bleh time) have moved things a bit, but they are still coming.
In the meantime, I'm here, and will answer things as best I can, when I can, when it doesn't cut into the cool info of a dev diary. For example, Polar Mongoose, yes, we've made some changes to upgrades - all weapon turrets can now be upgraded, in a logical fashion, to allow you to move up and down in a weapon family, but not across to another, incompatible weapon family. A lot of people wanted more weapons upgrade control than just automatically upgrading missiles, so this moves things in that direction without it turning into a logistical (not to mention logical) nightmare.
