Before todays update there was a tech that allowed you to skip the drop pod rising sequence at the end of missions by aborting assignment after entering the drop pod. It has since been patched, and attempting to do so will cause a mission failure. I really don’t know why this specifically had to go, but it’s gone now.
Edit: this change is not listed in the patch notes. Also pool float icon is no longer comically big :(
