Starborne: Frontiers - Patch 3.8

• The defeat screen on single battles has been modified to streamline retrying failed battles.
• The store has been further updated for a better new player experience.
• The different implant types are now shown in the loot preview for Void Breaches.

• The Battle Pass XP per combat win and per Dispatch sent has been increased from 20 to 40.
  
  Dev note: Thank you for all the feedback regarding the battlepass xp change trialed in Feb thus far. The intent of this was to expedite the rate of gain for new players as we felt the resource spend approach was far too punishing. We are happy with this specific outcome. The total gain for established players however does not meet our standards, despite the additional gain from resourceless encounters. We hope to continue to improve the battlepass experience in the coming months. Thank you for your continued support in building a better Frontier.

Dev note: The following Alliance Raid changes are intended to reduce entry for players progressing between phases 2 and 3 of the encounter as well as increase run stability for players clearing phases 1 - 3 with alpha team. Alongside this, we have made skill adjustments to minimize soft lock combat situations causing players to hit round limits. Thank you for your continued feedback regarding the Alliance Raid, our next steps are improving accessibility to phase 4 of the current corrosion core without compromising deep progression as well as reviewing the reward structure.
