New Map THE RING:
The community-favored game mode Dominion is available on a new map: The Ring (working title). New Interior and Exterior Environments Getting ever closer to the industrially terra-formed moon, The Ring is another landmark to explore in the Project Genesis universe. Three Detonation maps: Solar Storm, Carbonaceous and Enceladus II and current Dominion map: Outpost now have some company with The Ring. Built in response to community feedback from the currently implemented maps, The Ring improves on the core game design to encourage faster engagements in both space combat engagement and FPS domains.

Full Release Notes:
- Progression/Levelup: After many game-platform iterations progression should be functioning much better
- lots of changes merged into one single line xD
- New experimental Dominion map (in rotation)
- Implemented a TeamBalance check function that disables a Player from changing Team if it would cause them to move to a Team that had the majority of Players
- Fixed environment collision issues
- Updated destroyed monitor materials
- Added calls to reset a Players Idle state in the Turret Emplacements to ensure they dont get kicked for being Idle when they shouldnt.
- Refactored the ShipCollision Damage code. It uses the replicated flight data from the Client to handle checking velocity on the Server to avoid sending RPCs. The collision damage also now has a cooldown that stops the damage from snowballing due to multiple collisions in a short period, this is exposed and can be tweaked. Damage is also specifically passed onto other Ships if it was a Ship on Ship collision, as the damage code only takes into account the instigators velocity, if the other Ship was below its own velocity threshold for collision damage it would not damage itself, therefore we pass that on manually.
- Fixed an issue where the GetWinningTeam function on the GameState was not taking into account if a Team had destroyed the Bombs on Detonation when deciding what to display on the EndMatch Widget. Addresses an edge case where it will show a Draw if the scores were the same for each Team.
- Fixed the "GS Registration" DisplayName for newly registered Players
- Fixed the AssaultPodInterior not showing a Badge
- Fixed various breach points marker communication and replication issues

- Added the User Interface Domain Badge Materials to their respective BadgeMaterialCollection DataAsset
- Fixed an issue with the kill feed player colors not being correct depending on the death situation - Adjustments to address a Client side crash when moving back to the Hangar
- Added some Client Messages that the Server sends to notify of the success or failure of sending/receiving the Stats Record at match end.
