Beta v. 0.13 release notes

New build today! Here are all the details:

– A new main menu UI flow distinguishes customization, matchmaking (“quick game”), and custom games
– Simpler and more automatic matchmaking flow to join random map for quicker starts (use custom games for finer control)

– Effects for double-barreled guns play on the correct barrel more frequently
– Effects: fixed flares that did not clean up (mysterious floating lights)
– Hole in Dunes collision mesh fixed
– Simplified nav-mesh for all ships (improves AI pathing)
– Missile Sling has new reload and fire animation
– Jump animation bug fix
