Bug Fixes

Successfully defending against an attack while in a system sector with a starbase (or Mothership) will no longer cause the starbase/Mothership to be removed.
Convoy escorts no longer wait at edge of map if the freighter has been destroyed.
Additions

When very few enemy bases remain, the Mothership will send out construction fleets that establish new bases. These can be used to gain additional resources during late game. The construction fleets appear as a standard fleet in battle.
Limited zoom functions added (+ and – keys).
Changes

Player can now fire while disabled – with a 50% fire rate and turret turn penalty.
Super weapon does more damage and fires for longer.
Energize ability is toggled on or off. Has a 15sec cooldown timer between uses.
System map rotation arrows now represent the rotation of the system, not the camera.
Craft will tilt left and right when making turns (based on turn speed).
