A small update, whose main purpose is to fix the most glaring problems in the preliminary alpha version.

Known Bugs

• Minor visual glitch in the planet model.
• Possibly another crash bug, and various miscallenous bugs.
• The new turning system has necessitated a bit of minor tweaking in the aiming system.
• The high-level AI needs tweaking to be more responsive to low-level events (e.g. the player ship arriving)
• Some balance tuning of ships/weapons is required, particularly of the beam corvette (which is a bit overpowered).

Changelog

• Fixed bug wherein switching the target mode in certain situations would cause a crash.
• Fixed bug wherein losing the last player ship could cause a crash.
• Fixed bug wherein faction death wouldn’t register on the final ship being lost.
• Turning should be smoother, and ship AI should no longer get stuck in a turning loop.
