Download description: - Added version number to front menu. - Fixed small issue with government description in empire window - Fixed an issue with the Plasma Blasters shots rotating when they should not. - Save Games got corrupted if ordering a new ship and then deleting the design before the ship was complete. (This is no longer possible) - If no ships were build of a design but one or more had already started construction, you could still change design at no cost. - Leader education was not working as intended. Education will now be slower and it is now a viable option to assign a leader to a position immediately. He will slowly increase his primary and secondary stats. However he will not increase his other stats, so his versatility is limited. - Living ships triton race special was now working correctly. In addition the science was unclear as to the amount repaired. It is now 3% + 1% per level - Minor Races will no longer actively intercept players they have not made contact with. Neither will they intercept players who's standing towards them is Alliance. - Minor Races should no longer demand resources, give gifts, attack systems all within 2-3 turns. Rather they should be spread out more evenly. - Reduced font size of story heading int the story window.
