Beta Update 1.6h2
Things seem to be going well with the officer skill update, so I've pushed a little further, and I need to know if you see something like this:

I'm trying to optimize the way the game tracks your active abilities. Currently it runs a bunch of loops every time it wants to look at a particular power. But with the new method, the game will look at all your powers any time you enter a new area or install or upgrade something (or someone).
So if you get a stream of messages that say "RLODP discepancy", please report what you were doing, where you where (space, planet, caves, etc.) , and any other relevant details.
Thanks!
There's another thing in this new beta... I don't know how many of you go around shooting non-hostile alien ships, but if you do, you might encounter...
[h3]RETRIBUTION SQUADS![/h3]
After a certain number of unprovoked attacks against non-hostile intelligent aliens, you'll get a warning. And if you keep doing it, you'll get ... Retribution'd!
So I guess let me know if you get killed by one of those (or else if you *survive* one) !

Unless I broke it, everyone can look forward to these changes on Friday. Until then, happy National Penguin Day (it really is...)
