+# Game Version 3809
+
+## Bug Fixes
+
+<!-- Remove header when empty -->
+
+## Balance
+
+- (#6060) Make shields absorb ACU explosions.
+
+  Both mobile and static shields absorb full damage from ACU explosions. For example, this prevents ACU explosions from killing all engineers inside shielded bases/firebases or killing all units in mobile-shielded T2 armies.
+  The structure part of static shields still takes reduced structure damage from ACU explosions.
+
+- (#6073, #6094) Allow Mongoose to fire from transports.
+
+- (#5901) Increase UEF T3 MAA's DPS and damage, and swap its speed with Aeon's T3 MAA.
+
+  - Cougar: DPS: 176 -> 206, Damage per volley: 1200 -> 1400, Speed: 3.3 -> 3.5
+  - Redeemer: Speed: 3.5 -> 3.3
+
+  This brings its DPS closer in line with other factions, lets it 3 shot strategic bombers instead of 4 shot, and lets it better escort Titans/Parashields.
+  Redeemer's extra speed wasn't very necessary for its role within Aeon, so it was chosen to be swapped with.
+
+- (#5874) Fine tune the balance of the Tech 2 Navy stage.
+    - Uashavoh: T2 Destroyer (XSS0201):
+        - AntiTorpedo RateOfFire: 0.26 --> 0.3
+    - Salem Class: T2 Destroyer (URS0201):
+        - BackUpDistance: 5 --> 10
+    - Cooper: T2 Torpedo Boat (XES0102):
+        - Health: 1750 --> 2000
+
+- (#5895) After receiving several buffs, the Seraphim Tech 3 Submarine Hunter has become too oppressive, especially in larger formations. These changes aim to bring it back in line, while keeping its identity.
+    - Yathsou: T3 Submarine Hunter (XSS0304):
+        - Damage: 290 --> 380
+        - RateOfFire: 0.25 --> 0.22
+        - MuzzleSalvoDelay: 0.7 --> 1
+        - MuzzleSalvoSize: 5 --> 4
+        - DPS: 363 --> 338
+        - Torpedo Defense RateOfFire (x2): 0.15 --> 0.1
+
+- (#6043) The `BuildRate` and `BuildTime` stats of all Radars and Sonars are updated to be more streamlined. The build time of Tech 2 Sonars is corrected to ensure it is not longer than that of Tech 3 Sonars. Tech 3 Sonars get their very low build time increased, to compensate for their Tech 2 counterparts being much quicker to build and providing more build power.
+    - Tech 1 Radars
+        - BuildRate: 14.08 --> 13
+    - Tech 2 Radars
+        - BuildRate: 21.46 --> 20
+        - BuildTime: 845 --> 780
+    - Tech 3 Radars
+        - BuildTime: 2575 --> 2400
+    - Tech 1 Sonars
+        - BuildRate: 14.08 --> 13
+        - BuildTime: 127.5 --> 125
+        - BuildCostEnergy: 1275 --> 1250
+    - Tech 2 Sonars
+        - BuildRate: 15 --> 20
+        - BuildTime: 1680 --> 780
+        - BuildTime: 2120 --> 1040 (Seraphim)
+    - Tech 3 Sonars
+        - BuildTime: 750 --> 1200
+        - BuildTime: 900 --> 1400 (Cybran)
+
+- (#6082) The `BuildRate` and `BuildTime` stats of several Shield Generators are updated to be more streamlined. The Seraphim Tech 2 Shield Generator gains build power, as it previously had a very low amount. The Aeon Tech 2 Shield Generator loses its build power, as it cannot be upgraded.
+    - Tech 2 Shield Generators
+        - BuildRate: 13.66 --> 0 (Aeon)
+        - BuildRate: 12.98 --> 20 (Seraphim)
+        - BuildRate: 19.95 --> 20 (UEF)
+    - Tech 3 Shield Generators
+        - BuildTime: 5841 --> 5800 (Seraphim)
+        - BuildTime: 4988 --> 5000 (UEF)
+
+## Features
