Those two points ARE quite nice.
There is also one in the list which indicates ships will use max weapons range now.

Now if they'll just un-screwup the shield boost drones.

That would be awesome

:D:D

Well, at the rate you're churning out goodies Lino it should only take you a day or so to implement that - I'm sure there's room in the dark pizza cupboard to lock in a couple of the coders until it's been implemented in time for v3.0 release

Tell them to add a command which makes managers completly ignore the existence of non-player owned assets!
And a way of telling ships that are assigned under manager to bring specific wares, and indefinitely.

BTW anybody found those pancakes?
And Iam also interested in the "broadcast order". I know what it does roughly, but I want some closer info. And cannot try myself at the moment

Beta 6 Optimisations resulting in performance improvements in fog regions (improves new feature in 3.0).

This was an important thing for me a long time awaited!

This refers mainly to the new dengerous region nebulas. The sahder was improved but it may not be that noticeable in old nebula regions.

QUESTION: how does the skill-training work? Do the crew just gain skil-stars by doing stuff or?

By crafting. You craft a Gift and use it to start a 2nd round Small Talk to get a Training Seminar book(s). There are several types of training books, one for each skill type. You can then Train your crew member in they Skill dialog.
