# Gameplay
"A few AI adjustments (mostly fighters) and some minor goodies."
* Added a buyable beacon that can be deployed with a customizable message
* Ship AI is no longer limited by range of PDCs when they have other weapons they could use
* Self-pulling into a dock via tractor beam now pulls slightly longer to avoid edge-cases where it's just barely not possible to dock
* Improved fighter AI when returning to mothership

* NPC fighters without mothership (and thus without pilot) now explode
* Dropped building knowledge is now reserved for 1h instead of 2min


# Balancing
"We're adjusting fighters slightly again because this time we overdid it a little. Those changes should tone them down slightly from their current status as indestructible killing machines. We're also giving the different shield upgrades a more distinct use."
* Increased resources necessary for production of fighters on ship slightly
* Increased range of Anti-Fighter cannnons by 1km
* Once all guaranteed dodges of a fighter are used, they get a 0.25s cooldown until the next random dodge can be done
* Guaranteed dodges recharge over a period of 60s instead of 120s
* Fighters now get (3 + 2 x [PilotLevel]) guaranteed dodges up from (3 + 1 x [PilotLevel])
* Strong escort ships and escorting commodores now reduce base attack chance (which couldn't be reduced before)
* Slightly reduced yields from mining & salvaging safe mode
* The trader that is attacked by pirates no longer dies in 2 seconds
** It's now 120s, except when you're helping them with the dying
* Increased amount of shields provided by energy to shield converter subsystem
* Shield boosters now give a flat bonus to shield instead of a percentage
* Reduced maximum amount of goods available for Trade Command in early game
* Reduced random spawn rate of bosses slightly, since people jump more often now
* Reduced prices of torpedoes by 56%
