Small Patch - 1.1.9l

Some requested updates, as well as new joystick setup and support for Simplified Chinese! :)

Added item compare tool-tip for unique items (which you can only have one equipped) and spaceships.
Joystick support (partial) has been improved with additional options. You can find the changes in Menu - Setup - Control. Make sure to use 'Restore Default' to get updated joystick layout.
Added controller selection screen when starting a new game.
'Load All' button will now fill ship cargo instead of trying to load everything.
You can now equip/unequip items with shift + left click and sell with shift + right click.
Added localization: Simplified Chinese, by Teh Eng Hee.
Changed Lithium rarity to 3 (blue), Copper to 2 (green) and Platinum to 4 (purple).

[h3]Follow up fixes:[/h3]

Fixed game not loading because of corrupted user files (caused by a system crash, cheating, etc).

Added Partial Joystick Support. You can control the ship and use some commands only with the joystick, but you still need keyboard and mouse for some actions like galaxy map, selecting skill points, trading, ship setup, etc. Until I add a couple more features, this will not be officially supported and therefore not appear in the Store Page.
Removed ship class restriction for Warp Drives.
Fixed ship collision during "Warp In" animations.
Improved spawn position calculations.
Added button to change steering mode in the left panel.

Added new Setup options: graphics quality preset, resolution, antialiasing, fullscreen and projectile lights toggle.
Added equipment: 'Cargo Expansion Module', 'Large Expansion Module' and 'Syndicate Expansion Module'.
Weapon stats now always include bonuses from the character and current spaceship.
Fixed repairing other ships counting as damage, and therefore resulting in reputation loss.
Fixed mouse cursor going off-screen in some resolutions.
The Log Panel (bottom right) is now hidden when the interface is open.

Added "Warp In" animation for AI ships.
Improved loot calculations (again) to diversify it more.
