      * "Remnant: Deep Surveillance" will now offer, as typos in the offer conditions were preventing it from offering. (@alextd, @Amazinite)
      * "Deep: Remnant 3" now properly offers on landing instead of requiring you to visit the spaceport with no direction. (@Amazinite)
      * The Dropship is now sold in Navy Basics shipyards, whereas before it was sold nowhere. (@Amazinite)
      * "Wanderers: Mentors 2" now has an on visit dialog. (@Amazinite)
      * "Strider 1" now sends you to Allhome for the next mission instead of the spaceport, as the next mission in the string wasn't offering before. (@Amazinite)
      * "FW Pug 4", "Nanachi 3", and "Nanachi 4" now mention both possible missing objectives when you visit the mission destination. (@Amazinite)
      * The reverse thrust heat of the Smelter-Class Thruster is no longer the same as the smaller Crucible-Class Thruster. (@Zitchas)
      * "Remnant: Cognizance 4" and "Remnant: Cognizance 16" no longer spoil the objective location for the player when you're suppose to go looking for them. (@Amazinite)
      * The fighters that spawn alongside the Michael Zahniser person ship can no longer be disabled. (@Anarchist2)
    * Engine bugs:
      * Invalid planets are now filtered when iterating over a system's objects, preventing pathfinding from trying to use wormholes that no longer exist. (@tehhowch)
      * Firing ionization/disruption/slowing on weapons no longer allows status effects to drop below zero, which could potentially cause a crash. (@Ferociousfeind)
      * Ships can no longer have a drag of 0, which could have caused divide-by-zero errors. (@tehhowch)
      * Active cooling now requires the ship to have positive energy. (@10010101001)
      * The acceleration and turn values displayed in the ship info panel while in flight are now accurate to their actual values, no longer counting cargo as twice as heavy as it is. (@Amazinite)
  * Game content:
    * New content:
      * The Heliarch Interdictor now has a Scrappy variant like other Heliarch ships. (@Arachi-Lover)
      * The Pug Gridfire, Gatling Gun, and minable asteroid explosions now have unique sounds, whereas previously they had reused sounds or none at all. (@Floppa-Priest)
      * Quarg planets now all have regional attributes describing where in the galaxy they're located for use by missions and jobs. (@Amazinite)
      * Added a new human ship, the Container Transport. For now, this ship has identical stats to the Bulk Freighter, but the two ships will be differentiated from one another next update. (@ravenshining)
    * Mission changes:
      * Changed the Saryd couple's budget to something more sensible. (@jerith)
      * Made it clear in "Remnant: Electron Beam" that you are to return with two electron beams. (@AraCaputDraco)

      * "Remnant: Face to Maw" no longer offers while you are in the middle of the "Cognizance" string of missions. (@Amazinite, @Ornok)
      * "Remnant: Cognizance 4" no longer uses mission failure to determine player choice, which led to confusion when the mission failed message appeared after making an acceptable choice. (@Amazinite)
      * The mission "Wanderers: Hai Diplomat" can now be offered on Mirrorlake. (@Ornok)
      * Improved some of the wording in "Lagrange Ring: Cargo". (@Arachi-Lover)

      * Tweaked the Telis and Vareti engines to maintain a better upgrade progression. (@DeBlister)

  * Game mechanics:
    * Disabled ships that are captured or assisted will now repair to slightly higher than the bare minimum hull necessary. (@Amazinite)
    * Invalid fleet variants are now removed from fleets, preventing plugins with improper data from blocking the offering of missions that spawn fleets. (@tehhowch)

    * The "interrupt fast-forward" setting now defaults to off instead of on. (@Terin)
    * Fixed a misaligned UI element in the map panel. (@Terin)
    * Messages about low crew ships are no longer considered "important," meaning they will no longer be pushed to the bottom of the message list every time they trigger and drown out other messages. (@ravenshining)
  * Under the hood:
    * Combined checking if a stellar object has a planet and if that planet is valid into a single method. (@tehhowch)
    * Having multiple missing frames for a sprite are now logged to the error file on a single line instead of generating a new line for each missing frame. (@ashdnazg, @tehhowch)
    * The Barb (Proton) variant definition now uses "add attribute" instead of completely redefining the base ship. (@Amazinite)
    * The heat and energy table values for ship info have been broken out into their own variables for easier handling. (@jostephd)
    * Missions that fail to instantiate will now report to the error file why they failed. (@tehhowch)
    * Missions that mix the "minor" or "priority" tags with the "landing" tag will now produce a warning to the error file, as "landing" takes precedence over the former two tags. (@Amazinite)
    * Fixed a rare crash that could happen when printing errors, if the error file could not be opened. (@tehhowch)
    * Updated the build process for Steam Linux to avoid statically linking in the C++ standard library. (@tehhowch)
