Bugfixes:
- Fixed several states where the player's Command Ship could get lost.
- Fixed a bug that caused a black screen on startup.
- Fixed an issue where buildings’ output (energy, inhabitants, logistics, etc.) on arctic and moon regions was subtracted from the total count if these buildings were located outside of a shield radius or heat supply while switching between sectors.
Please note: It might happen that your total population, energy production or logistics balance is going to change dramatically depending on the number of buildings affected by this issue!
-Fixed a bug where residences disappeared while being promoted from Executives to Investors.
- Pressing ESC multiple times shouldn't break the corporation creation screen anymore.
- Fixed several random crashes when switching corporations or loading sectors.
- The statue on Viridian Coves can no longer be destroyed by attack drones.
- Fixed several bugs that led to a situation where players were not able to continue with their Sector Projects (drone not showing direction, resources not being picked up by ship, quest objects not spawning, etc.).
- Fixed several bugs that led to a situation where players were not able to complete optional quests because of a broken unloading/towing behavior.
- Construction preview now shows correct logistics values when placing a production building.
- Fixed several minor GUI issues on the Conflict Zone Debriefing screen.
- Fixed a bug where the logistics preview showed incorrect values when constructing a building.
- Onscreen feedback of energy buildings like Fusion Reactor and Gas Power - Station now reflects the proper energy sector balance.
- Adjusted the voting screen thresholds to properly reflect the actual results.
- Adjusted several Infotips.
- Audio: Some UI elements didn't always play a sound on activation - this should be fixed now.
- Audio: Fixed a bug where audio messages in videos didn't stop when the user switched to desktop.
- Audio: The Shield Generator now always plays a sound when being built/destroyed.
All of the above mentioned quest bug fixes should not only be fixed for future corporations but also retroactively for existing savegames.
