* Mon Feb 12 2024 Carsten Ziepke - Update to version 0.12.0 Major Changes
* Added the Elephant, a bulk freighter which is essentially an upsized variant of the Mule.
* Overhauled lots of the coloring to improve colorblind accessibility and better unify the coloring schemes.
* Added a proper hidden tutorial demonstrating weapon heat and Active Cooldown. Other Changes
* Added several more possible randomly-generated pilot names.
* Yachts are now generally equipped more lightly.
* Split the Fighter class into Fighter and Light Fighter classes.
* Split the Cruiser class into Cruiser, Light Cruiser, and Battleship classes.
* Adjusted the way AI ships are equipped.
* Afterburner outfits now properly display their heat up stat.

* Reordered stats on ships for better consistency.
* Fixed an issue where a beam turning off would stop the sound effect from playing on any beam at all which uses the same sound effect.
* Renamed \"wrist computers\" to \"palmtops\".
* The type of colorblindness simulated can now be configured via the Options menu rather than having to edit the shader file.
* Changed TC display to be relative instead of absolute.
* Energy regeneration is now simply linear, just like shield, armor, and fuel regeneration, which also brings it in-line with the way energy costs of weapons and activated outfits work.
* Derelicts now award less credits on average, but can rarely give very large rewards.
* Increased mass limit of Hellburner a bit.
* Emergency Shield Booster is now a medium outfit and has been made a bit stronger.
* Ship Computer embedded maps are now centered on the current system when navigating to the tabs they\'re in.
* The first derelict boarded is now guaranteed to give a large sum of credits.
* Amount of deposit for hired escorts which is eligible for refunding is now displayed in the escorts\' credentials.
* You can now board hired escorts to rescue them if they are disabled.
* Made jammers use a bit less energy.
* Doubled all weapon energy costs.
* The Empire Recruitment mission is now always guaranteed to spawn after you fulfill its condition.

* Added a master volume knob to the Options menu.
* Teddy Bears From Space now guarantees a bit more for its reward.
* Jumps that you only know one direction of are now displayed in the starmap as if they were one-way jumps.
* Shrunk the blinker on selected pilot to its original size.
* Replaced the extra blinker on hilighted pilots with the animated circle which is used for hilighted planets and jumps.
* Derelict, distress, and shipwreck events can no longer spawn on top of or extremely close to planets or jump points.
* Modernized the way the position of the Shipwrecked August is determined.
* Renamed the \"Defaults\" button in the Input tab of the Options menu to \"Presets\".
* Added hotkeys for buttons in the Options menu.
* Adjusted wording of text in some missions.
* Made Turret Conversion Module medium, and took away most of its downsides. Bugfixes
* Fixed a bug that caused text in the second Ian Structure mission\'s OSD to get cut off.
* Fixed a mistake in the text of the race missions that caused racer names to display as \"nil\".
* Fixed and touched up text explanations for map trade modes.
* Fixed a bug where you couldn\'t get trade information for a system while landed on a planet without commodities.
* Fixed a bug where one planet\'s hilight could obscure another planet on the radar and overlay.
* Fixed a possibility of the time compression display showing \"TC +0%\" or \"TC -0%\".
* Fixed asteroid mining and boarded ship looting not updating the OSD of the Commodity Run mission.
* Tue Nov 21 2023 Carsten Ziepke - Update to version 0.11.0 Major Changes
* Added a trio of outfits called \"Thrust Bracers\" (one for each slot size). These outfits boost engine mass limit in exchange for use of a structural slot.
* Added a map to the Cargo tab in the Ship Computer which works the same way as the map on the Commodity tab in the land window.
* Added an event where a pilot is in distress and needs rescue, following the Space Family mission (but these follow-up rescues have a less strict completion requirement of just needing to land on an inhabited planet).
* Removed the \"Buy Local Map\" button which was previously found on every planet. This means you can now only buy a local map at planets with an outfitter.
* Increased the power of less-than-lethal weaponry; damage output of Heavy Ion Cannon, Heavy Ion Turret, and Medusa Missile outfits has been substantially buffed, and damage penalty when using Weapons Ionizers has been decreased from -70% to -20%.
* Added more missions to the Hakoi Pirates campaign.
* Touched up the way reputation loss from combat is handled in an effort to avoid punishing the player for self-defense.
* Increased the speed penalty for going over the engine mass limit. Going slightly over will still be fine in general, but the situation where the wrong engine was often ideal has been substantially mitigated. It\'s also now virtually impossible to fly a large ship with medium or small engines without the help of thrust bracers. Other Changes
* Enabled the teleport event which can happen when a Za\'lek test engine is equipped. (The code was there, but it was turned off.
* Touched up the way audio volume and \"brown noise\" is handled during time compression.
* The Nexus campaign now follows the Baron Prince mission and is more directly tied into the Baron campaign.
* Removed the third Nexus mission.
* Added a portrait for Baron Dovai Sauterfeldt and adjusted the initial description of his appearance to match. The portrait is used in the Shark mission.
* Lowered risk reward for cargo missions (which means their rewards don\'t shoot quite as high in areas with high pirate presence).
* Jump transition shader is now black instead of white.
* Board key now auto-targets a boardable pilot if none is selected (like the land and hyperspace keys).
* Distance you can gather gatherables from is based on the size of your ship, rather than a constant.
* Adjusted the AI refueling code so it\'s a bit more reliable when the pilot it\'s trying to refuel is moving.
* Changed the explanation of what a \"skate-board\" is in the Prince mission.
* Removed the \"Ian\'s Courage\" mission (since its purpose is outdated and it contradicts the direction we\'re now taking Ian Structure\'s character).
* OSD entries will now abbreviate themselves if there is not enough room to show all OSD entries of every mission.
* Reworked the way reputation gain and loss from combat is calculated. The effect is fairly subtle, but it should make these reputation changes feel less static.
* Removed the \"visible messages\" option; maximum visible messages is now controlled by the GUIs.
* Reorganized the Options menu to make it more compact and intuitive.
* Removed pirate maps from standard pirate outfitters and instead added them as possible offerings from black market dealers on pirate strongholds.
* Introduction mission (\"Point of Sale\") now hilights the planet it tells you to land on.
* Added an explanation of what \"TC\" means in Ian Structure\'s second mission.
* Removed the \"Hitman\" missions in Alteris.
* The OSD now hilights missions in the current system orange instead of white (so you can see at a glance which entries are most immediately relevant).
* Added a new Ragnarok Beam shop graphic recently added to Naev.
* The sub-entries in the OSD used by the second Ian Structure mission now get hilighted alongside the main entry.
* Slightly changed some of the UI colors.
* Dvaered reputation is no longer gained when you do Empire missions.
* Increased the time the game will wait before spawning the Baron mission after declining it.
* Progress toward gaining Dvaered standing is now displayed in the OSD for the fourth Hakoi Pirates mission.
* Changed default value of TC Velocity from 5000 to 2500.
* Dvaered pilots from the warlords battle event are no longer used by other missions and events.
* Improved the visibility of the filled dots in the travel and discovery modes of the starmap; they are now smaller, but with black outlines.
* Changed the \"friend\" and \"hostile\" colors to make them more colorblind-accessible, particularly with protanopia and deuteranopia. Bugfixes
* Fixed an issue with radar clicking in the Legacy GUI.
* Fixed a regression which caused speed limitation to not work correctly at very small values.
* Fixed image arrays (e.g. outfit lists) causing mouseover alt-text to show up when keyboard navigation was used even if the mouse wasn\'t over the image array.
* Fixed player selling fuel getting counted as mission earnings for the purposes of hired escorts (which caused them to take a cut from the sale).
* Fixed an issue where some fighter bay shop graphics would get stretched in certain contexts.
* Fixed Shipwrecked August staying hilighted after you rescued its occupants.
* Fixed a bug which caused autonav actions to not successfully supersede and cancel auto-hyperspacing.
* Fixed the Credence in the Teenager mission spawning with empty shields and battery.
* Fixed the Credence in the Teenager mission coming with credits and cargo that you were able to loot.
* Fixed some repetitiveness in the text of the third Hakoi Pirates mission.
* Fixed Laser Turret MK1 mistakenly having twice as much mass and damage output as intended.
* Fixed the Seek and Destroy mission not spawning an informant at load time.
* Fixed an issue where the Seek and Destroy mission could refer to bar informants as \"the pilot\".
* Fixed a bug where attempting to clear target while Autonav is attempting to board would lead to the nearest boardable target getting immediately selected. (Clearing the target while attempting to auto-board now aborts Autonav.)
* Fixed a grammar error in the Power Overdrive Module description.
* Fri Sep 15 2023 Carsten Ziepke - Update to version 0.10.1
* Fixed a bug which could cause speed-restricted AI pilots to be unable to jump.
* Thu Aug 31 2023 Carsten Ziepke - Update to version 0.10.0 Major Changes
* Planets you need to land on and jump points which lead you to systems you need to go to are now hilighted (similar to the way Naev does it, but a little better).
* Added the \"Turret Conversion Module\", which enables turning all of a ship\'s weapons into turrets.
* Completely overhauled the race missions: instead of boarding randomly placed stationary pilots, you now pass thru a random set of planets and/or jump points for a certain number of laps.
* Traders will now sometimes broadcast requests for fuel, which the player can answer by hailing them. Other Gameplay Changes
* Reduced the number of hidden jumps given to the FLF.
* Removed \"hypergates\" (which were really just glorified jump points to a hub system), since they don\'t really seem to be all that useful in gameplay and don\'t make much sense lore-wise.
* Warlords battle no longer sets the faction of the winning side to the standard Dvaered faction (which means you don\'t risk e.g. reputation loss if you find yourself on the losing side).
* Added a garbage dump location to Empire space.
* Slightly improved the waste dump mission.
* Adjusted some hyperspace connections in the universe.
* Removed the randomness from the Drinking Aristocrat mission which could lead to needing to make as many as nine stops. The total number of stops (including the correct one) is now fixed at exactly four (three wrong ones plus the correct one).
* Forward-facing beams now rotate in the same manner as turret beams, rather than instantly facing their target.
* Changed the balancing to give large turrets an inherent advantage over large forward-facing weapons, now that forward-facing weapons can be easily converted into turrets.
* Civilian NPCs are now smaller in number, but much more likely to give rewards.
* Reduced the number of services on introductory worlds, to more gradually introduce planetary services to new players.
* Generic planets can now always be bribed, even with minimum standing.
* Bribe price for \"low-class\" planets is now lower.
* \"High-class\" planets can now be bribed as long as you are not enemies with their faction, but at a very high bribe cost.
* Different factions now have different landing bribe costs.
* The Derelict event is now less common, but hilights the derelict so it\'s more visible.
* The Derelict event no longer spawns in systems with volatile nebulae (since the nebula would destroy them, which would be a bit weird).
* Mercenaries no longer protect civilians and other peaceful AI pilots.
* Larger and factional derelicts are now rarer than smaller and non-factional derelicts.
* Quicksilver, Koäla, and Mule now all have three weapon slots. Other Changes
* Replaced the cross display of system position markers (as used by e.g. patrol missions) with a shader based on the one Naev uses for the autonav go-to position indicator. This makes these markers much easier to see especially when they happen to be on top of planets (as is the case for patrol missions).
* Removed the superfluous \"TARGET\" text next to the autonav go-to position indicator.
* Aiming helper crosshair now has an outline.
* The target clear control will now clear an asteroid target as well.
* Relaxed some of our eccentric usage of diaereses. It\'s no longer used on \"ao\", \"ei\", \"eu\", or \"ea\". This also means that the subtitle is now \"Eye of Chaos\" instead of \"Eye of Chaös\".
* New saves now include information about what system they\'re landed on in the load screen.
* Removed use of system claims for some missions.
* Autonav resets speed less aggressively, and by default (togglable with an option in the Options menu) does so even less aggressively by ignoring passive (not actively hostile) enemies entirely.
* Land and Jump keys will now cycle thru targets if already in the process of auto-landing / auto-hyperspacing.
* Hilighted pilots no longer come with a text label.
* Clicking on empty space now clears the current target.
* The Mission Computer now centers the newly selected mission again when you click on a mission in the list.
* The map in the current missions list in the Ship Computer can now be interacted with just like on the Mission Computer.
* The letter on outfits in the outfitter now indicates outfit type (weapon, utility, stucture) again, instead of size.
* Adjusted text colors to make colored text easier to read.
* Changed the autobrake key to make it engage active cooldown without a second press (as in Naev).
* Added some more pilot names.
* The first Ian Structure mission now tells you the reward up-front and explains credits conversion instead of the second Ian Structure mission doing so.
* AI ships now have an amount of fuel which is matched to where they spawned from (i.e. they always have full fuel when taking off, and they always have no more than their max fuel minus their fuel consumption when jumping in).
* All ships in the Warlords Battle event are now hilighted, rather than just hilighting the leaders.
* Simplified and fixed the way near zoom is chosen (it was previously based on velocity and didn\'t really follow the Zoom Near setting in practice; now, the near zoom level is static).
* Setting zoom levels no longer \"requires\" a restart. (It wasn\'t entirely necessary before, but the options menu told you that it was and changing the settings messed up the stars in the background temporarily).
* CPU usage for outfits is now displayed as a positive \"CPU Usage\" value instead of a negative \"CPU\" value.
* Salvador now has no Empire presence (to match the Hakoi Pirates storyline).
* Adjusted some wording in the third Hakoi Pirates mission.
* Removed mention of Arnold Smith\'s \"boss\" in the Shark mission.
* Renamed the second Nexus mission to \"Nexus False Flag\".
* Changed the word \"steal\" to \"loot\" in the boarding window (since it fits better with boarding derelicts). Bugfixes
* Text of system position markers is now \"optimized\" to avoid collision with planet/jump overlay text.
* Fixed player and asteroid radar icons being allowed outside the overlay boundaries.
* Fixed some potential for conflicts with the Hitman missions.
* Fixed a typo in the Emergency Shield Booster description.
* Fixed a potential for inconsistent text in the Love Train mission.
* Fixed a design oversight which meant player fighter bay escorts did not escape jump as intended.
* Fixed dust amount not being recalculated on resize events.
* Fixed Dolmen missing common outfits.
* Fixed an issue where the Credence in the Teenager mission could get stuck flying around in circles.
* Fixed a mistake in the code which could lead to combat music playing when it shouldn\'t.
* Fixed the Credence in the Teenager mission not being given bad cores as intended (which is meant to slow it down and make it easier to catch).
* Fixed mass limit of afterburners being listed as tonnes rather than kilotonnes.
* Fixed failure to update the hilighted OSD objective in the Shark mission if a Shark was acquired via trade-in.
* Fixed the Hakoi Pirates missions not generating portraits when loading the game while landed at the destination planet.
* Fixed Empire ships interfering in the Dvaered warlords battle event and attacking the player.
* Fixed a rare bug that could cause fighter bay fighters to enter a limbo state when changing systems (which would continue until the clear orders command was given).
* Fixed display when gathering from asteroids to show kilotonnes rather than tonnes.
* Fixed derelicts giving reputation changes and kill rewards when you blew them up (which didn\'t make much sense as they\'re derelicts with no living occupants).
* Wed Jul 26 2023 Carsten Ziepke - Update to version 0.9.0 Major Changes
* Added the Neo GUI, a new GUI intended to combine the strengths of the Brushed and Slim GUIs, as the new default GUI.
* Redesigned the Commodity tab of the land window: - Selected commodity information now sits below the commodity list, and does not include the commodity graphic. - Where the selected commodity information previously was, it now displays a map showing the \"cost\" view for the selected commodity.
* Redesigned the mission computer: - The positions of the mission description and the map have been swapped, giving the map more space. - The map now shows the markers for all unaccepted missions, not just the one you happen to have selected. The one you have selected is hilighted so you can still easily see where it is. - The mission list now hilights missions whose destination is your currently selected system. - The map is now displayed in minimal mode by default; this can be toggled with a \"Minimal Mode\" checkbox.
* Completely overhauled the trader escort mission: it now puts trader pilots under your wing (like escorts), with the caveat that you cannot issue orders to them. Completing the mission now only requires landing at the designated planet with the convoy intact.
* Added some more missions to the Hakoi Pirates campaign. Other Gameplay Changes
* Hypergates event now adds knowledge of the hypergates.
* Sirius ships no longer refuse to run away from combat by default. (They now run away with the same amount of damage as Empire and Soromid ships.)
* Patrol missions now cause marked hostiles to never run away.
* Most AI pilots will now stop shooting a target once it has been disabled.
* Added a simple derelict event that randomly disables some pilots when entering a system.
* Fuel request event is now more likely to appear.
* Tweaked capital-class weaponry to make the different weapon types more differentiated (to bring them in-line with their smaller counterparts).
* Doubled the disable amount for all lethal weapons (which makes the Heavy Razor Turret and Enygma Systems Spearhead Launcher a bit better and should also make pilots getting incidentally disabled during a fight a bit more commonplace).
* Baron Prince now spawns artifact hunters in any system you enter, but is less likely to do so until you confirm you found the real artifact.
* Removed the restriction that disallowed boarding a pilot multiple times.
* Pirates will now steal cargo in addition to credits from the player. Other Interface Changes
* Exposed TC velocity via the options menu (which controls how much faster the game gets during time compression).
* The map no longer fades between modes and instead just instantly switches to the new mode. This also fixes a problem where it would always start in the default mode and then fade into the selected mode when you opened the map.
* The map trade views now explicitly include the unit (¢/kt) instead of just displaying raw numbers.
* Inverted the \"high\" and \"low\" colors for the map trade displays: orange is now used for high prices and blue is now used for low prices.
* Improved the System Info display, improving the description text\'s coloring and adding information that was previously missing.
* Whether or not right-clicking on a pilot causes you to follow them is now a togglable option.
* Made cargo mission description headers gray (the same as most headers).
* Added a display of bolt weapons\' \"optimum range\" (maximum range at which they inflict their full damage amount).
* Changed the mission failure messages for cargo missions to match other missions better.
* The options menu no longer (falsely) tells you that you need to restart the game to change the scale factor, and it now always properly updates after changing the scale factor setting.
* Made the FPS Limit textbox in the options menu a bit bigger.
* Moved the Reload Time stat in launchers\' stat lists to a more logical place. Other Changes
* Fleets are now organized centrally such that if a pilot has a parent, any of its own followers will go into formation with said parent. This makes fleets look sleeker and more organized when some AI pilots in said fleets are equipped with fighter bays.
* Moved things around in Gamma Polaris to reduce conflicts in the overlay.
* Anglicized the spelling of the name of the Empire lieutenant you are recruited by, changing \"Czesc\" to \"Chesc\".
* Changed the spellings used for some words: - \"Minuscule\" is spelled \"miniscule\". - \"Pursue\" is spelled \"persue\". - \"Though\" is spelled \"thô\". - \"Through\" is spelled \"thru\".
* Added and updated several NPC portraits.
* New games now always start with the same music track playing.
* Improved the way no-run behavior (used by some missions) is implemented.
* Started changing the way missions and events prevent conflicts away from strict system claims and toward other methods that still allow multiple missions and events to have in one system. (This is still a work-in-progress.)
* Made some optimizations to the code which should help a bit with performance in busy systems.
* Made some small improvements to the way the AI works.
* Removed the Sirius Preach event.
* Za\'lek Test mission no longer refuses to spawn if another Za\'lek Test mission is active.
* Trader pilots now only form groups using the standard formation; they don\'t also randomly sit next to each other anymore.
* Made the different factions\' weapon use a bit more distinct.
* Removed the \"Baron Flintley\" event which showed up after the Prince mission.
* Collective drones are now universally unresponsive again. Bugfixes
* Fixed the Commodity tab showing \"¢\" for the purchase price indication instead of the correct \"¢/kt\".
* Added a proper guard against a situation that could invisibly switch your weapon set to an empty one (altho this was unlikely to actually happen due to Naikari\'s default weapon sets).
* Fixed an issue where pressing the Starmap key to close the starmap would fail to run code that was supposed to run when the starmap closed (and thus caused some display oddities).
* Fixed land window tabs other than the commodity tab not updating when cargo was added to or removed from the player\'s ship.
* Fixed an issue in Baron Prince where exiting and reloading the game while landed at an artifact seller NPC\'s planet would cause you to have to takeoff reland to spawn the NPC again.
* Fixed cinematics mode messing with the GUI viewport when it shouldn\'t (which caused the Slim GUI to be messed up during cinematics).
* Fixed AI not being able to behave properly when out of fuel.
* Fixed a long-standing bug where AI pilots could get stuck spinning around in circles while trying to land and a similar bug when trying to hyperspace.
* Fixed filtering for outfits always checking against English names even when another language is the current language.
* Fixed the class of Marius Station.
* Fixed the Empire Recruitment mission sometimes choosing Hakoi as its destination.
* Fixed Aillis not having common outfits available.
