I never noticed till last night when a friend pointed it out, but regular flares for each class used to have upgrades. Was there a reason they got taken out of the game?

Yes. It felt lackluster, so it was refunded and became standard.

You folks know the dwarves still shout "I should really upgrade these" or something similar when they try to throw a flare while out of flares, right?

Because it feels weird to have that line in the game when you can't upgrade them. Maybe give us something fun, like Disco flares, or flarebangs, or the ability to shoot flares to make them explode.

To be fair, that voiceline was there even they were upgraded. :D

Disco flares etc. is is probably out of the question, since the designers would like to keep the flares functional and the “fun” on the space rig. They’re a utility that should remain that way.

Any plans to overhaul them in any of the next couple updates?

Can’t neither deny nor confirm this.
