'''<u>FULL CHANGE LIST</u>'''
'''Hydroponics'''<br>
New 'Hydroponics Garden' equipment is now available to buy.<br>
Requires power, piped water, compost (from Waste Processing), and Seeds (also available to buy).<br>
If all of these ingredients are provided, vegetables will be grown in the individual plots.<br>
If water or power is cut during growth, the crop will suffer.<br>
Eventually the vegetables will be harvested, producing Food and more Seeds.
'''Crew stations'''<br>
Some pieces of equipment now require crew to operate.<br>
The crew station can be seen in schematic view as a green circle, and must be clear from obstructions<br>
These include:<br>
* Gatling Guns
* Cannons
* Railguns
* Munitions table
More will be added in future.
'''Battle Stations'''<br>
All weapon systems in your fleet now default to 'inactive', and will appear retracted into the ship.<br>
To activate your weapons, click the 'Battle Stations' button in the bottom right of the screen.<br>
Each weapon system requires one crew member to operate, before it can fire.<br>
Nb. The order to Battle Stations is fleet wide.<br>
As soon as you disable Battle Stations, crew will return to normal duties and all weapon systems will retract.
'''Small Changes'''<br>
* You can now sell any of your ships at a Shipyard.
: Just click the SELL button next to the layer name, top right of the screen.
: Nb. You cannot sell your final ship - ie you always need one ship in the fleet.
* Added Vertical Symmetry to Ship Editor
* Ship Editor state saved/restored between sessions
* Docked ships can now be included when exporting a ship
* Fixed crash with docking cycles (they can also no longer be created)
* Settings menu now has options for Windowed/Fullscreen/Resolution
* Steam Workshop
