Increased all thrust outputs for all engines, boosters, and maneuvering thrusters.
Adjusted the base price of all resources to reflect value of goods and rarity.
Increased range of sensors.
Increased max possible number of satellite objects around planets
Increased mining yield chance for all mining lasers to 75, 80, 85, and 90% from lowest to highest.
Significantly increased weapon damages across the board
Reduced missile launch fire rate. there will be a longer delay between fire sets.
Doubled the health of Kinetic Field Generators.

We ran into a snag with the mission editor relating to a problem with the Steam Workshop User Generated Content API. as soon as we have that resolved we will release the mission editor as a stand alone tool (windows only). We anticipate this being early to mid next week.
