The change to batteries and fuel tanks is quite nice. Though it kinda broke alot of drones.

We hoped that this change would break the least amount of drones possible :/

Do you mean the small fueltanks are now less useful? The problem was, that they were overpowered compared to the other fuel tanks to begin with and now with this new update the size scales the properties linearly. It was our mistake to leave it like this for so long, but we wanted to fix it before the Early Access launch. If we would fix it later, a lot more people would be upset :/ We're sorry for the inconvenience, but that's also a part of participating in a Alpha version. I hope in the end the game is more fun and challenging to play :)

Exploding fuel tanks. We have to check out how it plays out. Currently the explosion is not all that strong, so it only weakens your drone. But we assume you would have to be more deliberate when placing them (not all together, more in the center of the drone). It's a test, so please report your feedback :)
