This is a major overhaul to the mechanics of Spacer units. It focuses on making them incredibly aggressive and introduces a variety of new abilities and effects.

Description
The Spacer Units in vanilla lack unique mechanics. They play like a rag tag band of leftovers rather than a hoard of psychotic maniacs. Many of their units are just worse than other similar tiered units without any sort of mechanic to justify that power difference. They’re mediocre at best.
The focus of Witness Me is to bring a hyper aggressive play style to Spacer units. This is accomplished primarily through Violent Buffs. Violent Buffs last until the start of your next turn, but can be extended for another turn through aggressive acts. A good example is the new passive, Witness Me. Whenever a unit with Witness Me gets a kill, all friendly units in a 2 hex radius gain Fervor, a stacking Violent Buff that grants bonus damage and damage resistance, and Fueled By Violence, a buff that extends all Violent Buffs for another turn.
The downside is that Violent Buffs are always just one turn away from expiring. Meaning an unexpected stagger or status effect can stop the Spacer wrecking ball dead in its tracks. This creates a bit of a dilemma for the player. Units like the Spacer Hellcopter can provide a guaranteed way to prolong these buffs for just another turn. However, this ability comes at the cost of its some what lackluster combat prowess.
All Spacer Units have unique mechanics that provide or interact with Violent Buffs in different ways. This means that whatever hoard you assemble, they’ll play differently but aggression will be a big component of their play style.
