[list] [*] fixed many instances of the word yield being misspelled [*] fixed a bug where picking up the item most recently placed into the trash slot would duplicate the item [*] sped up world generation by skipping many noise samples in black empty space [*] fixed rotation groups for tier 3 hallways [*] tier 3 hallways are now structure adding modules. They add more structure than the default tile replaced when you place them, so they make your ship stronger when added [*] removed duplicate entries for shield emitters in the design screen [*] added a tier 3 shield emitter [*] fixed turret offsets for T3 energy turrets [*] fixed an extra pixel that was sticking out of the side of a T3 engine module [*] tweaked the stats on some pulse beam weapons [*] added many tier 3 bridge modules [*] added missing visual power connection points to the largest size T3 energy turret [*] fixed a bug that would cause AI ships to send repair drones to repair their current hostile target [*] added a decorative conference room module what can be used to make space stations look more professional and business-like [*] fixed a rare bug that could cause a crash when adding a crew member into a ship at an invalid position [*] turret reload duration set to a default value other than zero to avoid divide by zero if somehow the value avoids being set [*] added tier 3 ships to the list of all spawnable ships so the game will now spawn them when it wants to spawn a really scary ship [*] tier 3 ships can now spawn as bosses and as escorts in the gauntlet [*] boss battles in the gauntlet can now reward a data core with tier 3 research [*] active system slot icons now have tooltips [*] added tooltip info for many active systems, but maybe not all of them.

[*] significantly expanded the number of stats that status effects can modify [*] added 14 new computer room modules, each of which provides a passive statistical increase to your ship which doesn't stack if you have multiple of the same module. They provide bonuses such as turret range, missile tracking, shield regeneration, point defense, etc [*] added a new module type: point defense.

Before if scrapping would return 0.2 of a valuable resource you would always get the rounded integer value of 0, but now in the same scenario you will have a 20% chance of receiving 1 of that resource instead [*] fixed one instance of dormitory being spelled wrong [*] fixed a bug with a script that explains broken airlocks that could corrupt save files [*] fixed: the labels "required" vs "stored" was reversed on the logistics screen [*] fixed a crash in the research screen caused by an uninitialized string value [*] removed a legacy UI element that was rendering in the bar screen [*] fixed a bug where tuning kits would consume their component resources even if they could not be applied to the ship [*] added mining laser to home station tool shop [*] fixed an issue that caused some advanced turrets to lose their special properties when loaded from save data [*] tuning kit tooltips now display how many kits are already applied as well as the maximum stack count [*] fixed a rare crash when attempting to animate crew during a save/exit operation [*] fixed a bug with artifact activator modules that could make certain artifact types cause the game to crash [*] added a new craftable item: packey ball.

ships for the higher tier bosses [*] fixed a bug with scroll canvas UI elements that could cause them to scroll forever [*] because it is no longer intended for you to construct your first ship, new characters will no longer spawn with blueprints or ship building resources [*] rebalanced the cost of grey goo to more accurately reflect the economic price of creating it [*] ships constructed in logistics from a player design are now placed into inventory as a packed ship instead of docking to your home station [*] trading with station shops now allows you to move items to/from your equipped
