Weaponry Changes, Repairables, Coin Removal, Protect Item Special Card

Thank you all for your patience. We've received an extreme amount of feedback and suggestions. We've implemented a bunch but are still sifting through. This update will bring you much needed changes, such as the removal of coins as a currency, buffs to weaponry in terms of attack speed, and additional hits. We've also made a few changes to the bank presets, missions and lots more. Make sure to read carefully as there are a lot of changes!

Currency

I'm aware there has been a lot of confusion regarding the main currency. It was always galactic tokens however having coins in the game hasn't really helped, and more so caused confusion. It also had barely any use. So we've removed coins from the game (there may still be stuff that drops a low amount which we'll get to). Galactic tokens are the official and main currency which should be used to trade etc.

What this means; All shops that were previously coin based, are now free to purchase with unlimited quantity.
