Bugfix : Starships register now when they find a planet with a destroyed civilization and trigger appropriate events
Bugfix : Colonies that are build on the same planet as alien ruins can also trigger appropriate story events
Bugfix : Signals from the same Species are not interpreted as alien signals anymore but get their own appropriate story events
Bugfix : Starships of the same Species trigger a different story event rather than an alien contact event
Bugfix : Starships should not fly between two planets in an endless loop anymore
Bugfix : Starships should never fly directly back to the planet that they just visited anymore
Bugfix : Colonies, Spaceships and Conquered Planets now have the correct references
of detected Species!
Bugfix : Starships are not flying under the suns or planets anymore
Bugfix : Maru, Odo and Rama are not nude anymore in the Modern Era
Bugfix : The “Early Accesss” prefix of the version number is now called Early Access!
Facepalm*
Polishing - Increased the size of the “Galaxy Flare Text” Windows for better readability
Polishing - Nuclear Ark spaceships look less like bombs now
WIP - The “Same Species Contact” event still works similar to the “Alien Contact” event and will be reworked in future updates.
WIP - We start to disable events that do not make sense for certain planet types or species. As an example no large floods should be triggered on a desert planet.
Attention ! Save Game Compatibility Issues - Save Games of older versions will not trigger events related to Alien Ruins, Same Species Contact, Desert Planets, Ice Planets or Swamp Planets. Also no aliens will evolve on planet Vex

See you up in the stars, voyager.
