Star Explorers Updated to Version 3.8

Normally I would have waited until the 4.0 release to update the default version of Star Explorers. However, since a major bug was discovered, I felt it would be best to remove that as soon as possible. The latest version 3.8 is more stable than the previous 3.0 release.

IMPORTANT: If you have been playing the 3.0 release and want to continue, you can go to "Star Explorers > Properties > Betas" and select "Version3" from the drop down to reinstall that version of the game. Otherwise you should start a fresh game in version 3.8.

If you have not been following the announcements, here's a quick run down of the main changes:

Fixes

• Engine Updated to A8 - This fixes a number of issues that some players experienced
  
• New Shader Effect - Posterize
  
• Custom Save Folder - check for instructions in the "Custom Path" folder
  
• Fixed crash in the Star Chart
  
• Switching or Reloading a weapon now prevents it from being fired
  
• The speed of the mouse is now factored into camera movement
  
• Item generation is now optimized to generate a wider variety of items
  
• Alien generation is also optimized similarly
  
• UFO damage will be more noticeable
  
• UFOs should now have a glowing effect, and should be more visible
  
• Camera tilt has been increased to 90 degrees (used to be 60 degrees)
  
• Fixed issues that occurred when returning to Main Menu after starting a game
  
• Bug with planet storage caches caused items to be mixed up
  

New Features

• PDA treasure maps are now available in the game
  
• Mapping tool now shows coordinates on planets
  
• More and larger Nebulae are spawned in the galaxy
  
• "Take All" button added to cache panels
