Dead Reckoning: The Long Drift changes
Another batch straight from your reports — thank you for the detail.
Fixes
Anniversary events now wait for the actual anniversary. Events that look back on a past decision — the fifteenth anniversary of the night of arrests, the chaplaincy's twentieth year, the engineering guild's twenty-fifth report, the seceded ship's faint signal — were becoming eligible the moment the year-floor passed instead of once the time had truly elapsed, so a "fifteenth anniversary" could surface a year after the event it commemorates. They now fire only when the stated span has actually passed. (thanks kikocrespillo2)
The comet intercept has a decline option again. You can hold course and let the comet pass instead of being forced to harvest it. (thanks Kyzarin)
The calibration probe comes back. The Year-2 Jovian calibration shot is a near out-and-back run, so the drone is now recovered to the bay when it returns — it no longer permanently costs you your starting probe. (Probes you fire ahead into deep space are still one-way; that scarcity is intended.) (thanks Strato)
Pronoun fixes in crew events. A personnel record could read "the research logs them helped build," and several events referred to a crew member as "she" regardless of who they actually were. Events now use the crew member's correct pronouns. (thanks Strato, VERMILLIONAIRE, kikocrespillo2)
