v0.5018, November 5, 2013 -------------------------- Another update is ready to go. The main focus of this update is the [b]Garage[/b]. As requested by you ladies and gents, the garage allows you to store up to five ships so you can freely switch between them on the smallest of whims ;). Implementing the garage made progress in other fields a touch slower than anticipated, but we feel it was well worth it. The next update will bring quite a bit more to the table as we plan on fully activating Perks and the Reputation overview among other things. [b]LIST OF CHANGES[/b] [list] [*]FIXED: Several scripting errors that could cause memory leaks and crashes. [*]FIXED: Several script function errors that prevented accessing database tables from scripts. [*]FIXED: A bug where an energy beam weapon effect was left "hanging" if a ship firing the weapons was destroyed. [*]FIXED: AI bug where a [i]Trader[/i] ship didn't respond to attacks. [*]FIXED: Ship prices on station and planets are now proper values from station/planet parameters, instead of default database values. [*]FIXED: Objects can no longer be targeted by clicking on them [i]through[/i] the context menu. [*]FIXED: A crash that occurred when scrolling to the last commodity on the list after destroying a commodity in your Cargo hold. [*]ADDED: [b]Garage[/b] [list] [*]You can store up to 5 ships in your "garage". [*]The garage can be accessed on any station and you can freely switch between ships. [*]Currently you can [i]only store captured ships[/i] in the garage, but the next update should make it possible to store [i]newly purchased ships[/i] as well. [/list] [*]ADDED: Grappling ships is now possible. Visual effect included. Required for towing captured ships to stations/planets. [*]ADDED: Hiring panel on stations/planets.
