Matconvertor module management upgrade

Dear players (and survivors) of Shortest Trip, we are proud to bring you some major upgrades you (and we) have wanted for a very long time. Most importantly, you will be able to save & load modules with push of a button, making everything easier. Check out the changelog to see what we've been cooking for you during the past months. Our team keeps working remotely during the pandemic, but development of Shortest Trip continues. Stay tuned for more :)

New features
  • New feature: Scoreboard vs Self
  • Major UX improvement: Modules can be now loaded & saved together with power presets!
  • Minor UX improvement: custom module/power/crew presets can be now added
  • Major UX improvement: Total overhaul to ships built-in material convertor (which used to be only convert resources during excess).
  • Major UX improvement: Total overhaul to modular materials convertor UIs. The convertors can be now accessed from special menu, may be used from storage, and do not require power
  • New feature: Doors can be now repaired and show if they are damage via UI
  • New content: Added new enemy encounter (Queen of Pirates) to sector 2


Balancing
  • Reduced Rat EMP nuke aoe
  • Rebalanced 1 DIY reactor cost
  • Updated easy tiger stats
  • Reduced DIY fuel container crafting cost, crafting it does not require fuel any more
  • Shield overload doesn't overload all shield modules any more (one is overloaded for sure, others have a chance to be overloaded)
  • Rebalanced Insectoid Scarabeus ship, they now again have 1 nuke instead of 2


UI and misc
  • We've turned off collecting anonymous statistics/data since we're not actively using them
  • UI panels now appear on top of others when clicked on, with few exceptions.
  • Ui tuneups
  • Multicrew selection can now be reverse sorted too
  • Fixed Greentail nuke avatar visuals
  • Fixed stored modules not being counted in achievements (by changing how the storage module is hidden)
  • Preparing for linux test build


P.S. If you didn't learn this after last update, you can now change the order of weapons in weapon quick selection bar. Just saying :)
