New Cores

In order to make some underutilized Passive cores more tactically useful, we've created new "merged" cores that combine the traits of 2 other Passive cores into one.

Ballistic Shield: +10% chance to deflect attacks, reduces damage when you deflect +20%

Super Scope: -10% chance to be deflected, +20% damage when attack deflected


Balance

To increase the usefulness of underutilized cores and decrease the reliance on other passive cores, several passives have received crucial re-balancing. Ideally, this will lead to more build diversity as new effective strategies emerge.

Cores:
Primary Master: +35 Damage, increased price to 10000 Credits, 395 Varium
Sidearm Mastery: +55 Damage, increased price to 10000 Credits, 395 Varium*
This core was bugged as it was and changed to give +4% Gun Damage
Auxiliary Mastery: +60 Damage, increased price to 10000 Credits, 395 Varium*
This core was bugged as it was and changed to give +15% Crit
Nanosteel Armor: Decreases the ignored defense of incoming critical strikes by 30% instead of 20%
Strength Boost: Lowered to +3 Strength from 4 except for Primary variant which remains +4 and has been renamed to Prime Strength Boost (New cost of Prime core is 8000 Credits, 295 Varium)
Dexterity Boost: Lowered to +3 Dexterity from 4 except for Sidearm variant which remains +4 and has been renamed to Prime Dexterity Boost (New cost of Prime core is 8000 Credits, 295 Varium)
Technology Boost: Lowered to +3 Technology from 4 except for Armor variant which remains +4 and has been renamed to Prime Technology Boost (New cost of Prime core is 8000 Credits, 295 Varium)
Support Boost: Lowered to +3 Support from 4 except for Auxiliary variant which remains +4 and has been renamed to Prime Support Boost (New cost of Prime core is 8000 Credits, 295 Varium)

It looks like the Sidearm Mastery Core was conflicting with Deadly Aim! The buff has been changed again to +15% Crit.
