Hello fellow space survivors!

Today's hotfix repairs a number of issues stated below. We remain dedicated to fixing and improving everything in the Shortest Trip to Earth universe.

Thank you for your support and we wish you all a lovely weekend!

• Victory panel lines now animate faster (each line animation time is set between 1 and 6 seconds)
  
• Crew/power presets now save crew role for each crew member too
  
• Laser beams are now part of save game (better mid-beam game save/load, especially noticable with Lv10 boss). Rewrote how weapons check if their shot is in progress or not (caused weapons-not-shooting issue after game load)
  
• Repaired 1 malfunctioning perk
  
• Various updates to perks and ships
  
• Damage to laser weapons now cancel the beam (but won't make it forget its target). Weapon overload won't make it forget its target anymore.
  
• Melee hand weapons are now part of save game too
  
• More performance optimizations (mostly in warnings and ship health code)
  
• Explosives and synthetics containers graphical update
  
• A few miscellaneous text lines have been edited

After 1.0.9, we made another build (1.0.10) and pushed it live, in order to solve these 2 very problematic issues:
[List]Auto-aim didn't work at all any more
Nukes flew way too slowly when in slow-mo mode
