• 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 mothership upgrade rewards of lower level downgrading your upgrade level
  
• Fixed hammerhead not spawning in “destroy hammerhead at core” mission
