What's new in version 2.26...
Axiom Labs
Axiom Labs is a new map created to test new features and changes that we're making to the game. It's designed to be a bit of a holo-deck blank canvas so that we can quickly and easily make changes to things like the pitch, dimensions, obstacles, game modes, vehicles etc. without having to spend months updating models and textures.
In this version we're specifically testing changes to the pitch size - it's now double the width and length of the original. We're interested in whether increasing the space around the player creates more opportunities for the player to dribble and pass the ball, or if you just spend all your time feeling like things are too far away.
We've kept everything else the same - so your drone speed, shot range and ball physics are all as they were, just in a bigger space.

AI Behaviours
The bots are now able to orbit around the ball and use their shield to defend the goal, allowing them to chase down the ball headed for their goal and make a save. What tended to happen before was they would chase the ball, then shoot it into their own goal.
