====



Terrain Deco Destruction:

• & a toggle for deco destruction which can be added to the gameoptions.yaml:
  

  
  EnableDecoKnockDown: True/False # (Default True) to Activate or Deactivate the Terrain Decoration Destruction
  

• The ability to knock down a deco depends on the speed, mass & thrust power of the ship (don't expect a tiny HV to be able to knock down every deco at once). When a vessel hits f.ex a tree and is not able to knock it down some damage is done to the tree. So after a few hits the tree could go down.
  

Loading screen rework:

• See here for more info: Content\Extras\LoadingScreenshots\LoadingScreenConfig_example
  

New sniper rifle & Minigun models:

New warp drive (CV) model added to Warp Drive (Epic): Gameplay:

• Added: Initial implementation of ARC as an interactive NPC faction (own Territory etc)
  
• Added reputation mission "Pirate Hunt" for Colonists faction

• Changed: reduced drone presence on Brotherhood of Farr POI (planets)
  
• Changed: Staying outside of a territory does not give +RP anymore (Note: Regain standing to neutral can be achieved by the NPC factions Credibility Missions!)
