v0.7.0.2 released!

www.asciisector.net/download/

- Fixed bug that caused the "division by zero" crash that was fixed in the last version (this fixes the cause of the crash, the previous fix just avoided the actual crash).
- Fixed bug with characters on a base also appearing on board your ship when you landed after having boarded a ship.
- Fixed bug with automatic destination nav point change if a fleet that you had previously selected as your destination leaves the system.
- Fixed pirate Talons that had cargo but no cargo hold.
- Retros spawned on board ships are now also purple instead of white.
- Added mouse scroll wheel support for selling stuff at the equipment shop.
- Added news filters to the Quine.

Played this a bunch over the past couple days. My only issue with it so far is that I seem to be bad at it and combat inevitably ends with my death, not my opponent's. Otherwise I love it. 

BTW, was the in-ship interface inspired by TIE Fighter? I love that each corner has a readout like it did.

Have you bought an afterburner? They help a lot in combat and are generally a must have.

The game is based on Wing Commander: Privateer, but I played a lot of TIE Fighter back in the day, so it's quite possible that game was a subconscious inspiration on the layout of the ship interface.

- Fixed infinite loop bug when jumping.
- Fixed disappearing wingman bug.
- Fixed bug that caused messed up ship names on the target display.
- Fixed bug that caused non-locked missiles fired by the player to not impact neutral or friendly ships.
- Fixed minor bug with the Join Raid mission (sometimes the mission details in the Quine or nav computer would state the wrong number of Hunters).
- Fixed bug that allowed you to move stuff from your backpack to the locker wherever you are.
- Fixed various bugs with fleet event news entries.
- If a Militia or Confed ship gets attacked while scanning for contraband, it will now stop scanning and engage the attacker instead of continuing the scan.
- Ejected Retros are now also purple when scooped.
- If a fixer's mission has expired, he will now tell you so instead of allowing you to still accept the mission.
- Redid the redout effect when your ship's armor is hit.
- Captives can no longer be transfered to the Lucky Lady.
- The Lucky Lady casino ship is now mentioned on the system and sector maps.
- You can now quit the game by closing the window.
- Comm messages won't affect a fleet ship's attitude anymore.
- Ejected pilots from a fleet ship now have the attitude of the fleet's faction, not the ship they ejected from.
- Used Brilliance Ampules and Refined Ultimate can now be combined to take up less space (like ammo clips).
- If an enemy ship has retreated once, it won't do it again.
- For missions that require you to deliver cargo to a ship, the amount of cargo will now always be in accordance with the target ship's type.

- Fixed bug with newly built ships not getting the attitude of their lead ship.
- Fixed bug that would crash the game when a fleet was trying to attack a fleet under construction but with no active ships yet.
- Made sure fleets will only be built in a system that's under the faction's control -- not just occupied.

Oh god, man. This is awesome. Been a while that I've stumbled onto a roguelike that good.

Keep up the awesome, make it happen!

It might have been mentioned but when downloading the zip from your website. The folder inside the zip have the read only flag set, that somehow confused Win Vista for me, so the folder became invisible on the desktop, had to extract it somewhere else, chanage the folder settings and move it to the desktop to overwrite the invisible folder. ^^

This should be fixed in the latest release. I have no idea why it was set to read-only. Odd.

EDIT: That's weird. Even though I set it to not be read-only, when I check the folder preferences afterwards, it's back to read-only.
