- Unknown Signal Locus for Bread Aliens (Spawns Mianbaozha, Loumai, Mianbao, Malingshu, Fashigun)

New AI Difficulties

The AI Update/AI Overhaul adds AI Ship Difficulties ranging from Easy to Insane

The way to tell an AI ships difficulty is the amount of stars by the ships name (Easy is 1 star, Normal is 2 stars, Hard is 3 stars, Brutal is 4 and insane is 5). AI Ships with a higher difficulty drop more loot, Insane and Brutal AI ships only spawn in wildspace.

AI Heatstreak

Heatstreaks give more money on AI ship sink, The more heatstreak you have the more money you earn. You can gain AI Heatstreak by killing ships larger than your ship.
