changedAnother addition with this update, is that traders now have a capacity for different resources. Previously you could sell large numbers of resources, the only limit being the traders wallet. That gave you an easy way of earning credits, and also wasn't very realistic, as a ship should have a hold limit especially for bulky resources. Hopefully that balances credit earning somewhat, and makes progression smoother.
changedHave also made a few little balancing adjustments. Algae bar output increased slightly, alongside sewage treatment water output. Mining laser output reduced slightly and power for that and the recycle laser increased to 2. Oh and a fix for mining and recycle laser production figures, they weren't taking into account the cooldown action they have.
addedCombat droid upgrade added to research.
changedDroids get 50% damage bonus once upgraded to combat droid.
changedTraders now get a capacity on resources. Can't sell them large quantities of heavy/bulky resources.
