Update 0.42: Content Command Update

Hey everyone,

It's great to see so many of you already enjoying the game in EA ^_^! This update provides all players with two perks that can make life a bit easier during your adventures through deep space.

The DIY Flamer Tank: a repurposed industrial drone, fitted with armour & custom-made flamer. Very durable & completely fireproof.

The Heavy Sentinel: high-tier military sentinel unit. Heavily armoured & armed. Cannot operate or repair. Fireproof.

These two killer machines should provide your crew with an extra degree of protection, at least while our crew AI & internal combat are still undergoing major balance/feature changes :)



In addition to new content, this update provides fixes and solutions to many errors and bugs (before, two repair officers would try to repair a spot only one could repair, for instance).
