New Features / Configuration Changes and Bug Fixes

In Space

• Possible autopilot fix for "hung at stargate" bug.
• You can no longer jettison capsules directly into space. This fixes the 'destroy capsule = claim bounties on character who jettisoned it' exploit.
• Autopilot route information now clears properly when final destination reached.
• Autopilot now stops at each waypoint if set to do so.
• There is now a context menu for mines and when you target them, you get damage level brackets for them instead of the picture target bracket.
• Splash damage (from things like missiles) to fellow gang members is now ignored by the aggression/penalty system.
• You can now see ownership information in the "Show Info" windows of cargo containers and sentry guns.
• Players with negative security ratings can now enter empire space, the sec rating decides at what system security level the local forces attack.

Modules / Ammo

• Fixed the module fitting bug where if you were quick, you could fit more than one module into the same slot.
• Fixed the ammo reloading bug where sometimes when reloading specific amounts of ammo into a weapon would give errors about not enough space remaining when there was enough space.
• Billboards should now show news and bounty information.

Agents

• Bookmarks from old missions are now cleared up after a mission is terminated to avoid confusion.
• A bug in regards to pirates that relate to a mission stayed in space indefinetly after a mission had timed out was fixed.

Other Changes

• Reworked NPC loot dropping so that it doesn't block the cleanup after the destroyed NPC. This was causing problems when people cleaned out a squad of police.
• Advancements in Planck Bubble Generation Technologies have allowed for the creation of containers that have higher capacity than volume. All containers can now contain 20% more than the space they occupy.
• Planck Bubble Generation has the added restriction of not being able to place a Planck Bubble generator within another Planck Bubble, as that would cause an indeterminate graviton harmonics chain reaction, with an expected breakdown of causality.
• The green/red bar in the buddies list to indicate the online status of a player, is back.
• Character Creation templates have been added to make character creation easier. The old method (now called "Custom Method") is still available, too.
