Thanks alot for reporting all the Bugs!
We just released the 1.0.8  hotfix to fix the main bugs you've reported over the weekend.

[h2]Improvements[/h2]

• Added the possibility to import drones from files for the programmer captain
  
• Programmer captain doesn’t receive useless mother ship upgrades as rewards anymore
  
• Updated Credits
  

[h2]Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed bug where no save files where shown, even after starting a new game
  
• Fixed crash when flying on planets, was related to minimap memory usage
  
• Fixed hull repair cost not updating correctly in sandbox mode
  
• Fixed mothership upgrade rewards of lower level downgrading your upgrade level
  
• Fixed hammerhead not spawning in “destroy hammerhead at core” mission
  
• Fixed cryotank mission where the mission target would be the broken container instead of the tank. Also removed colliders of broken container.
  
• Fixed being able to use more weapons than you actually have at weapon casino
  
• Made boom-bug queens return to the planet if they fly too far away from the planet, so they don't get lost in space.
