2 things:
    1. The scythe beam displays the 'missing graphic' icon when fully charged
    2. I tried out the surrender option for fun. Sooooooooooo much better than I expected :D

Will be fixed.
At which sector and beacon type did the crash happen?

I can only assume that it is event related. I never saw such things on my Linux version though, also I had crashes on Exit beacons before. Exit beacons load random events from the general lists in newEvents.xml I think. Modifying this lists seems to cause some undefinable issues, but is also the only way to get things into the first sector as far as I can see. I'll look into it and recommend you all cheat save now and then while playing the beta

You are right. How couldn't I notice that for all this time? :geek: Will be fixed.

That one has multiple flavour texts as well. All pretty grim. One of my favourite events as well. :D

I don't know details, sorry. I thought the screenshot would be enough.

On the questline where a man who calls himself Mister Johnson wants you to kill the crew of a Science Station, the Station has no graphics.

I will try to fix bugs regularly till it runs sable, but my time for modding is limited. After that updates will come when they are ready/necessary.


For now:

0.951 Beta
-All modified vanilla events deactivated, to see if crashes persist
-Auto Satellite spawn text fixed
-Corporate Science Station graphic fixed
-Scythe Beam charge glow added

Well this has been totally awesome so far. (The alternate Zoltan B feels like it's a foot. You kick the game where it hurts.) But I have to say, because there is so much text in this mod there are many grammar errors and misspellings. Not really a big deal, but you might want to at least correct the picture in your signature. (You start the second sentence with 'I' instead of 'It'.)

Also, what is the difference between a normal defense drone and the light laser defense drones? I can't figure it out.

So some crash causing errors persist in nebula beacons... I'm looking into that and hope to fix it soon.

Ooops... fixed that. :? Sorry again, not my mother tongue. I spell-checked everything in the mod with word processing software, but if someone feels like PM'ing me list with grammar mistakes... well, that would be most appreciated, as I can't really notice them on my own.

Spoilers: :o
Light Defence Drone Mark I has a really long reload time, but only costs one power. Depending on missiles used by the enemies it can just intercept every second missile fired. Mark II reloads slightly faster than a normal defence drones, like defence Mark II, but still just targets missiles and asteroids. Both of the light defence drones where supposed to have faster projectile speed too make them more reliable and make it less likely that they miss a missile that comes from a bad angle, but I realized just now that defence drone lasers had a high speed anyway and that I have to increase that further.
