NEW: New logistics. Major change. The Dockware Manager doesn't exist anymore. It's replaced with a job system, that gives you full control over your Dock Agents. Documentation is in-game, in the encyclopedia.
NEW: Laser balance. Now they are more specialized. Some are Anti-shield, others are Anti-hull. Specialty is displayed in the laser description.
NEW: New selection of backgrounds and suns (new game only).
NEW: All ships have a robustness factor, randomly set when starting a new game (or loading a previous version). This factor goes from Very low to Very high and affects the maintenance costs. Robustness is displayed in the Ship compendium and in the Maintenance screen.
NEW: Rotation and steering factors have been drastically decreased for all fighters (M3, M4, M5).
NEW: When starting a new game, 20 to 30 random sectors are destroyed and set to Unknown.
NEW: You can reset a Sanctuary perks for 1 threat.
NEW: Permanent wars. You can declare permanent war up to two factions. This is completely optional. It gives you 1 maximum perk for each of your Sanctuary (for each permanent war) and unlock the Blueprint market of the enemy company. As the name suggests, this is permanent and irreversible.
NEW: Added an additional command to scan the blueprint of your own ships.
NEW: Added a new Colour preset from additional command: Default. Will reset to default name and color.
NEW: Repair ships and stations with your marines. Skilled marines are better than rookies. In-game documentation included.
NEW: EXPERIMENTAL: Procedural generation of asteroids and debris fields (yield and layout). Can only be activated when starting a new game. The game will ask you if you want it or not.

CHANGE: Encyclopedia: updated.
CHANGE: TL can now use the Courier function. Also, only dockable ships and stations for the selected ship are displayed.
CHANGE: QLaser config get/set hotkeys respectively renamed to QLaser config save/equip (new game only).
CHANGE: Damage on non-maintained ships is higher.
CHANGE: Autopopulate will not build more than 2 stations of the same type in the same sector.
CHANGE: The perk "Extra natural growth" is replaced by "Tax". Now you can earn money from your people. High-level Sanctuaries earn more money than low-levels.
CHANGE: Removed sector descriptions. They make no sense with the dynamic war.
CHANGE: Reduced the aggressiveness of the Terrans and the ATF.
CHANGE: Wings will also attack enemy stations when given the order "Attack All".
CHANGE: All sanctuaries produce their own e-cells. The perk is now tripling this value. E-cells are produced per people, only when they are not working on a project.

CHANGE: Pirates and Xenons only spawn in their sectors.
CHANGE: Playership has no maintenance costs.
CHANGE: Increased the number of tracked objects on the HUD.
CHANGE: M5 and M4 receive an Explorer Command Software by default.

CHANGE: Added money to NPC shipyards in Quickstart.
CHANGE: Reduced spawns of Xenons and Pirates.
CHANGE: The bonus TS in From Scratch gamestarts is always a modest ship. No super TS anymore!

CHANGE: OWPs can be built around gates. No more restriction, except the distance from center.
CHANGE: OCV ships have 75% chance to target OWPs first.
CHANGE: When you buy marines, they become Sohnen.
CHANGE: Getsu Fune is no longer this heterogeneous place of hope where every race share the same meal, watching tv and enjoying life, while their children play happily in peace. Now it's Argon, period.
CHANGE: Increased rate of fire of the Concussion Impulse Generator. As an anti-hull weapon, it wasn't good enough compared to other lasers of the same category.
CHANGE: Reduced chances of mining and the price of the White mineral.
CHANGE: Reduced chances of triggering the Weaken company mission.
CHANGE: From an idea of BlackArchon, I took the liberty of replacing the sounds of Alpha Particle Cannons, Plasma Guns and Gamma Ray Cannons by non-Star Wars sounds (from XRM).
CHANGE: Increased recycling factor from 1/5 to 1/1.
CHANGE: Reduced company wares salvagers and increased bailing rates a bit.

CHANGE: "Low Maintenance" is replaced by "Extra factory support" (+4).
CHANGE: Sanctuary level 2 no longer requires a Research station.
CHANGE: Removed missiles from OCV. They're strong enough.

FIX: When a faction has no other choice than to launch an invasion against a friend, it can do it. But in the previous version, that could also apply to the player, making him an enemy even if the reputation was at its maximum. Now it cannot: friendly players (reputation > 0) cannot be invaded.

FIX: From Scratch was always putting the player into Ianamus Zura.
