Changelog for Patch 1.0.7 (added 22 August 2019):

Hello again fellow space survivors!

Thank you for all the positive reviews and post-launch feedback. We are also grateful for the supportive negative feedback, we will strive to fix, improve and expand everything in the universe.

Today's hotfix will repair a number of issues that were discovered & reported at launch by you guys.

Fixes
- Everybody who saved and did not encounter level 9 bossfight (or escaped from level 9 bossfight) will be automatically helped forward to level 10 after the hotfix goes live
- Improved performance with code optimization
- Numerous typos fixed
- Abusing module slot upgrades and downgrades on enemy ships is not possible anymore (player module slots can be still exploited in certain cases, fixing that is scheduled for the future)
- Level 10 Neutralite fleets now always have ammo for weapons
- Sector end now always unlocks ships (perks have a chance that the player gets fate points instead)
- Players who didn't unlock ships when they should have will unlock them on the start of their next game (and get the achievement too)

Rebalances
- Fixed mining lasers scrap value
- Many modules, crew, ambushers and events have been rebalanced
- Multiple instances of the same module now each have different prices

Misc
- Added preliminary hover to both radar range elements explaining where the actual range comes from
- Removed a non-funny starmap logline

There's a number of issues that we are still tackling. We are working as fast as we can to release new, updated versions as early as possible. Keep surviving!
