Devlog 6: operation pre-release

This is the last devlog before the release.

It will be less detailed, but I will try to highlight the main changes happened since the previous devlog.

Campaign:

• Fenero is now a full faction, participating in wars, etc.

• Added starting vessel metaprogression (can use previously unlocked parts)

• Added "Cult Resistance" mission as another way to counter the cult influence

• Added a couple of new quests that interact with cult influence mechanic

• Added a unique extra plot mission to every starting faction (Radix, Ensis, Cerebra)

• The Cult can now have a sticky long-term tactics that influence their actions

• Visitors (player-made vessels) can become AUX units now

• Added and reworked several missions to include visitors as either allies or enemies

• Fenero uses visitors for their military fleets

• Mercenary pilots behavior is now more sticky (unless their skills change)

• Builtin vessels are now unlockable as a part of metaprogression

• Can now browse the encountered visitor vessels in a new "Visitors" tab

• Can vote-up (or install) a visitor vessel right from the game

Programming:

• Added a script override option to simplify the code reuse between parts

• Func/prog selection windows now have a name filter input

• Simulation mode now works better with non-android pilots (the numbers are more precise)

• Added many debug options (adding allies, enemies, etc.)

• Removed Call/0 commands - a normal Call commands can now be used in their place

• Fixed a bug with callee thrashing the state of the caller (it could lead to weird bugs in your algorithms)

• Added several debug-oriented vessels (they're in a separate "debug" vessel collection)

Steam integration:

• Added more achievements

• Generating detailed workshop item description for submitted vessels

• Added an inferred vessel Tier calculation

• Added in-game quick feedback form

Items:

• Added Cyclone weapon

• Added Double Wingjet engine

Sandbox:

• A more predictable and persistent vessel sorting

• Improved interactions between different collections (e.g. user subscribed builtin)

UX:

• ESC stops the sandbox combat immediately (previously there was a 1s delay)

• Introduced a textarea-like widget for description inputs

• Redesigned some older window widgets to make them look more consistent

• CTRL+click on a layer button moves to bottom/top

• CTRL+click on a color applies that color to all parts of that category
