• Added ETA visibility support for users carrying the radar tablet.
• Added remote terrain/target sync improvements.

Launcher System

• Improved launcher network detection.
• Improved launcher and battery detection while mounted on Valkyrien Skies ships.
• Improved launch scheduling and chunk handling for distant targets.
• Launch direction now respects launcher orientation, including tilted Valkyrien Skies ships.

Valkyrien Skies Support

• Added global/world position conversion for ship-mounted radars and launchers.
• Added fallback last-known world position handling when ships leave normal render range.
• Alert zones now follow moving ships.
• Ship-mounted launchers and radars can be detected by the network system.
• Improved behavior when ships are far away or partially unloaded.

Missile Guidance

• Improved missile guidance smoothing to reduce sharp, straight-line turns.
• Added better terminal interception behavior near targets.
• Improved ETA calculations.
• Added obstacle-aware guidance improvements.
• Added virtual long-range missile handling for distant impact areas.
• Added anti-sabotage detonation logic if a missile is unexpectedly removed.

Missile Arsenal

• Expanded standard missile progression to 9 tiers.
• Added Mekanism-based crafting recipes for missile tiers and special missiles.

New Special Missiles

• Added Hellfire Missile.
• Added Bunker Buster Missile.
• Added Cluster Missile.
• Added Incendiary Missile.
• Added Chemical Smoke Missile.

Warhead Behavior

• Hellfire now creates a visual/vanilla explosion without block destruction, while applying true damage only to the locked target.
• Bunker Buster can penetrate up to 30 blocks before detonating with Tier 3 destructive power.
• Cluster Missile now flies in a ballistic top-down path and releases 60 guided bomblets toward the target area.
• Incendiary Missile creates a wider fire area without custom true damage.
• Chemical Smoke Missile creates a denser spherical smoke cloud with blindness and slowness effects.
• Cluster, Incendiary, and Chemical Smoke missiles no longer use the custom true-damage system.

Explosion and Visual Effects

• Added 9-tier blast profile support.
• Updated blast radius previews on the radar map.
• Improved Explosion Overhaul compatibility.
• Improved damage-only explosions so they do not break blocks.
• Improved impact visuals for special missiles.

Fixes and Stability

• Fixed missile launches from Valkyrien Skies ships using shipyard coordinates.
• Fixed radar alert logic on ship-mounted radars.
• Fixed radar-to-launcher detection on ships.
• Fixed launchers firing later when ships/chunks became loaded again.
