Gameplay
We're releasing a small patch that should fix several issues that have come up over the past two weeks. In the meantime we're hard at work for the next free update, so stay tuned!
- Order chains are now started when the galaxy map is closed and Shift was still held
UI
- Added warning text about potentially losing turrets next to the apply button in ModifyWholeShipWindow
- Blueprints are now called "Blueprint" in tooltips
- Turret blueprints are now rendered with a blue background in shops

- Fighter order buttons can now be toggled back off when clicked a second time
- Added a notification for when there are not enough slots to activate all turrets

Server
- Several backend performance improvements for servers with many AI factions and players

- Added new Player callbacks onScriptValueChanged, onAllScriptValuesChanged, onScriptAdded, onScriptRemoved
