July 12th Update adding Workshop support

Most of the changes were under the hood and allow modders to create all kinds of new things. Please check out the mods!

Modding Beta build now available
There is an easy to use tool that converts a save slot into a new faction mod. Mods can add new blocks to existing factions or completely replace the built in factions. See the modding documentation for a complete list of moddable data files: http://www.anisopteragames.com/docs/
The Reassembly Steam workshop page (containing 2 example mods) is available at http://steamcommunity.com/app/329130/workshop/
Assuming all goes well the update will be pushed out as a general update soon.
Changes:
* Add support for loading and exporting mods
* Tons of internal reordering to allow many previously hardcoded details to be loaded from data files.
* Add mod preview screen which allows disabling mods, uploading to steam workshop, changeing load order, etc.
* Add unlimited number of save slots with scroll bar (new slots created automatically). Save slot screen now uses a right click menu interface for deleting/exporting/importing instead of the previous increasingly growing list of special keys.
* Improve gamepad support
* Fix bugs relating to certain ship colors reverting to default
* Improve navigation AI for spinny ships
* Add factions names to faction select screen
* Improve melee weapon AI and damage calculations
* cool subtle 3d menu/HUD effect
* allow rotating the camera while flying (use 'q' and 'e')
* allow tournament key bindings and several other previously hardcoded keys to be rebound (particularly important for non-english keyboards that don't have those keys)
* fix fleet export location
* reduce the size of fleet icons to avoid obscuring the minimap with very large fleets
* improve tournament steam friends error messages
* fix several crash conditions
March 16th Patch Notes
* add "tips" system providing information about some of the less obvious games systems that are common sources of questions.
* visually highlight locations of important game elements in tutorial popups
* space out factor/agent/wormhole tutorials a bit more, and blink tutorial objectives when they are completed to highlight.
* fix scroll wheel functionality for block palette scrollbars
* update achievement stats immediately after getting achievement, and fix completionist achievement
* remove "Steam" button which causes crashes with the latest steamworks sdk (it just opened the in game overlay anyway - use shift-tab instead)
* tournament mode related bug/polish fixes from the last tournament
* allow pressing ESC or ENTER to skip intro animation
* mouse autozoom no longer turns off completely the first time the scroll wheel is turned, it just disables for 30 seconds. Turn it off completely with 'y'.
