• [Fixed] Linked Subsystem glows now only show for sub systems that are actually linked.
• [Fixed] 'Metal Mandate' was acting like 'Metal Focus.'
• [Fixed] Missile racks weren't taking their clip size into account when predicting damage output, causing too many missile racks to target the same object.
• [Fixed] Fighter hulls and stealth systems would aid in dodging Flak and Shield Bomb damage.
• [Fixed] Ships actually take directional damage now!
• [Fixed] Fixed a crash in multiplayer related to objects being destroyed.
• [Fixed] Defend and Work orders on stationary objects will no longer give attack/use tool orders to objects that are too far away.

• [Fixed] Fixed a crash (PVFC) related to fleet icons.
• [Fixed] The repair bay is now properly classified as Support in sub system lists.

• [Fixed] Effects on ships (e.g. damage events) weren't being saved.
• [Fixed] Carriers could try to dock into themselves by ordering the fleet they were in to dock in them.
• [Fixed] You may now click on the name of a constructed ship in the message to select/zoom to that ship.

• [Fixed] Resolutions larger than your largest monitor (in either dimension) will no longer be listed, and your native resolution will be listed if it is not.
• [Fixed] AIs were managing their fleets in very poor ways, causing them to be scattered across the galaxy.

• [Changed] Planets that are under attack will experience rapid moral loss.
• [Changed] 'Auto' governor now uses more economic worlds in the first 10 minutes of the game.
• [Changed] Reduced galaxy gas density for dumbbell galaxies.

• [Changed] In the right-click menu, "Use Tool...Tool" is now "Use Tool".
• [Changed] In the right-click menu, tools can have a special "Use" name, like "Colonize Planet".

• [Changed] Links in the in-game IRC window can now be clicked.
• [Changed] Diplomacy cannot be conducted with empires before meeting one of their ships or planets. Can be disabled by toggling "Start in Full Contact" from the new game menu.
• [Changed] Homeworld starts with 2 less farms, and instead starts with a space port and ship yard.
• [Changed] Changed how fighter hull dodging works to make it easier for fighters to hit each other, and so a fast moving attacker doesn't suffer from its own speed.

• [Changed] Crew Quarters regenerate 1% of the crew per second.
• [Changed] Planets without enough food will lose no more than 10% of their people per second.
• [Changed] Running out of food now reduces mood of a planet, at worst at the same rate as lacking goods.
• [Changed] Docked ships are now repaired by the carrier's repair bays and crew if the carrier is at full health.

• [Changed] Optimized engine flares.
• [Changed] Effects can have up to 6 values.
• [Changed] Economic structures now produce partial output when there are not enough workers to run all structures. This prevents a planet from dying off due to the single space port shutting down, for example.

• [Changed] Star Ruler now keeps saves, mods, screenshots, etc. in "My Documents/My Games/Star Ruler". Files in the previous folder will be moved to the new folder when you launch Star Ruler.

• [Added] Empire stats (e.g. Galactic Bank resources) now have rate-tracking to provide income, expenses, and demands at regular intervals.
• [Added] Added setStat/subStat functions to scripts to complement addStat, as well ass addDemand to alter the new demand component of stat tracking.
• [Added] The "makeShip" function now returns the id the constructed ship will eventually have. Useful to the AIs for tracking their build orders.

• [Added] ExtTexts can now use <tag:param> syntax by putting #html# at the beginning. To further aide readability, tags may have a '/' character at the beginning (e.g. <col:red>Red Text</col> White Text)
