Added combat procedural quests in 3 difficulty levels: normal, elite and boss. Boss level may grant orange loot as reward.
Increased rarity boost on Ravager loot.
Increased equipment sell value on lower levels and decreased in higher levels.
'Target' action (default T) now only targets enemies. If no enemy target is near, it will also clear your current target, this way, if you press T it will make sure you either have an enemy selected or no one at all.
Added 'Target Any' action (default Y) that will target friendly or neutral ships.
'Quest Log' is now bound to U by default. OBS: Old players may need to rebind these new keys in the control setup.
Destroying 'The Exiled' now properly removes the quest to defeat it, and it won't spawn anymore.
Added a floating message for when fleet members level up.
Fixed 'Marauder' perk not being reacquired once it's duration ends and the requirements are met again.
Player character XP gain reduced by 30% and ship crew/fleet reduced by 15%.
Removed global trading % bonus from 'Trader' background perk.
Changed most stats of 'White Collar' background perk, including the addition of 'bounty' ("attract more powerful enemies").
Changed some stats of 'Lone Wolf' background perk and included 'bounty'.
Fixed fleet ship becoming gold star when assigning Ziggy as commander.
Syndicate ships: Decreased 'Global Trading' bonus from 3% to 2%, 'Warp Distance' bonus from 50% to 33% and added 'Fleet Commander +2'.
You can no longer target neutral or friendly stations by left click or hovering mouse on it, only by pressing Y (default for 'Target Neutral/Friendly' command).
