> Ship Design Menu
> Crew Management Menu
Bugfixes:

This update includes a new fuselage - the mining vessel 'Bivol':
The massive hull of the Bivol was designed for deep space mining, its huge storage space enables the operators to stay independ for a long time before delivering their precious cargo to the nearest outpost.
Fifth Update
Version 1.1.2:
Gameplay Changes:
- added new mining fuselage 'Gat-5'
- added 3 new company names from the community contest
Bugfixes:
-added more information for the 'Data structure with index does not exist' error.
This update includes a new fuselage - the mining vessel 'Gat-5':
Out of all the usually heavy mining vessels, the Gat-5 is the lightest - built for high efficiency deep-space mining, but tough enough to fulfill the requirements of military operations.
Many of you requested that the user interface adapts to higher resolutions, especially font size.
We finished the first part of the HD adaptation of the game interface, featuring a different font and a larger interface for Galaxy Map, Market, Shipyard, Technology and Tutorial window for resolutions 1920x1080 or larger.
Ship Design and Crew Management are not ready yet and will be published in part 2.
Let us know if it works for you.
Third Update - Auto-Resolve Crew Management Missions
Version 1.0.8:
Bugfixes:
- fixed pathfinding issue after changing decks
- fixed event error after completed research
- fixed: unable to enter a '9' in the funding text box
Gameplay Changes:
- added "Auto-Resolve Mission" feature to Crew Management
Thanks to detailed user feedback we could see the possibility to significantly improve gameplay for Crew Management: You can now calculate the mission rating for your newly designed ship, either for single missions or the entire list. It will most likely be slightly lower values than you would get by playing missions yourself, but it creates a decent class rating instantly and provides more choice over which missions you want to focus on. It also gives you a quick overview about what your design can achieve before spending a lot of time performing the missions - creating more incentive to go back to the drawing board to experiment with different designs.
Second Update
Version 1.0.1 alpha
This update focuses mainly on fixing the pathfinding issues for fuselages with separated decks, like Argosy, Katyr, Krest-44, Heppin-267, Hiuz-5 and Eruga.
Thanks to your detailed feedback, We could also patch a few additional sources for crashes and display errors.
We could also add in a sorting feature for the contract list in the market - just click on the column titles to sort in descending or ascending order.
Bugfixes:
- fixed pathfinding issue for fuselages Argosy, Katyr, Krest-44, Heppin-267, Hiuz-5, Eruga
- fixed bug that caused dropping out of grid draw mode when the mouse was over a room
- fixed "game freezes after loading" issue on some systems
- fixed wrong units "yrs"
- fixed "Cannot apply sqrt to negative number" error
- fixed ship loading error
- fixed FTL messenger ignore on bankruptcy error
- fixed Research station idle display error
