# Gameplay
"More general QoL for everyone! Ships now stop when they don't have a salvaging license in a scrapyard, gems now have a purpose, and we've added a 'stealthy' swiftness so that you can tell your ships more safely to fly somewhere with minimal attack problems."
* Salvage AI now stops when its salvaging license runs out
* Gems are now bought by Habitats and Casinos
* Added a "stealthy" swiftness for travel command with very low attack probability but high travel time
* Commodores of escorting ships now properly reduce attack chance for Travel Command
* AI ships can now use armed auto turrets to defend themselves while mining/salvaging
* 'Dock to station', 'peaceful patrol' and 'refine ores' AI states now set the ship to 'passive' instead of 'idle' to avoid spinning
* Asteroids are now guaranteed in scrapyard sectors to avoid mining ships appearing and doing nothing
* Captains can now no longer be Intimidating and Harmless at the same time


# Balancing
"We're buffing the normal delivery missions to make them more worthwhile, and there will be more missions available in general. We're also changing the mine/salvage operation safe mode, and you won't be able to use absolute minimum effort ships in areas where they're obviously outclassed. It's been pointed out to us that sending a 2 slot iron ship to mine for 4h in (1:1) without it being in any danger doesn't feel balanced and we agree. They'll need to be at least a little bit on par with ships in the area or you'll have to use an escort to protect them."
* Doubled base rewards for delivery missions
* Delivery mission bonus reward now scales with location in the galaxy
* Doubled base rewards for resource shortage missions (now 4x the good's price)
* Resource shortage mission bonus reward now scales with location in the galaxy
* Increased number of available bulletin board missions
* Increased likelihood of Tier III captain mission
* Mine Operation's safe mode now reduces attack chance by 90% instead of setting it to flat 0%
* Salvage Operation's safe mode now reduces attack chance by 90% instead of setting it to flat 0%
* Energy drain of energy to shield converter is now static for each rarity
* Increased prices of energy to shield converter upgrades to be more on par with other upgrades
* Increased fluctuation of the amount of goods available through trade contracts
* Reduced reputation gain of a few side missions from +10000 to +7500 to make them more on par with other missions
* Clearing out a pirate sector now grants +3500 reputation to a nearby faction


# UI
"Some more UI QoL improvements, enjoy!"
* Added an alternative view for ship weapon overview that doesn't fill out the selection by slot, but by turret
* Added better error messages as to why a captain can't sell something (esp. which good is problematic)
* Readded display of total crew salary
* Escorting ships now additionally show the description of their escorted ships
* Added a config option to enable/disable encyclopedia pop ups
* Improved Translations
* Improved rendering performance of map tag icons when there are many icons
