Hi everybody! Tonight's update brings you the first of several quest encounters, in which an extra-galactic invader threatens the sector. This doesn't happen in every game, but is a randomly occurring event. The set of alien races is also randomized so that the mix varies from game to game, to keep things interesting. There are also various bits of polish and bug fixes as usual.
- Added the terrifying Yellow Kawangi
- Made black holes highlight in a bright red "danger" color
- Made alien races randomly distributed, not there every time
- Made it possible to select ships in combat by clicking on palette icons
- Made it easier to point & click on small ships while zoomed out
- Made number key selection of ships work on star map
- Made Limited Vacuum Collapser functional
- Calatian homeworld now sells their race-specific items
- New cloaking sounds, other sound and music
- Fixed crash on clicking on input boxes
- Fixed captain name blanking out
- Fixed item-wishing input box not clearing when clicked
- Fixed crash/hang on game start
- Fixed quitting from combat while paused (now unpauses & fades)
- Fixed cloak button activating while ship is burning
