-Grouped weapons by type in Builder for easier, uh, grouping.

-Footprint of existing modules will pop when placing or moving modules to help with getting things juuuuust right.

-Back-end updates to prepare for the ~*Drama Manager*~ update I'm working on this week.

-Back-end updates to ship blueprint saves preparing for sharing blueprints in Steam Workshop targeting August. I'd say sooner, but I have to do a lot of work to make sure people can't send naughty pictures and racist bullshit through the Workshop. Animals!

-The pathfinding AI can now see when there's asteroids in their way to the sides. Did you know that when ships can strafe, it's a good idea to make them look left and right for obstacles and not just front and back? Well, I didn't know.

-Lotsa little Builder tweaks I don't want to talk about. Thank you to DJSpaceKatt for the great reports and suggestions! By my count you've conservatively been responsible for a 7% jank reduction. DJ on Discord:
