Original release notes

LAST PILOT STANDING ALWAYS LAUNCHES NOW. If nobody else shows within 15 seconds, bot pilots start filling the lobby and the match flies at 30 - no more waiting to be told nobody came. Bots wear [BOT] on the standings, real pilots always take a bot's slot, and a win against bots still counts.

The lobby shows a live pilot counter while it fills - and if you outlast every bot, the last one chases your score to the end instead of politely dying at zero.

Plus: the new Storm gameplay preview on this page is set to the game's own soundtrack. Turn the sound on.
