plasma ball

plasma ball
  much more damage
  new graphics
  fast decay in mob shields
  works with capacitor
  some bug fixes

paradigm shift: 4->10% chance to give research instead of tech
harpoon density: 0.006->0.005  (lower damage and knock back to mobs)
wormhole: 7->5% duplication chance
pilot wave uses less energy

+plasma ball
+  much more damage
+  new graphics
+  fast decay in mob shields
+  works with capacitor
+  some bug fixes
 
-plasma ball is now live, but it's still in beta
-  still needs
-    new graphics
-    damage balancing
-    fast decay in mob shields
-    player angle rotation speed while firing adds to fire speed
-    tech upgrade to get electrical arcs that randomly damage nearby mobs
-    current tech synergy
-      capacitor bank,plasma jet(range?)
-
-reservoir level is less crowded, so you can dodge mobs easier
-  horizontal flipped version is so reenabled
-pure science renamed paradigm shift
-difficulty scaling for heal and mob damage reduced 2%
-
-some possible bug fixes, I don't know...

+  firing while harpoon is stuck into an enemy rips it out of them, inflicting damage and stun and pulling them towards you
