The cost of your ship in the select variant screen shows the base cost of the ship, not including any supplies. 2. When your enemy transports a t-bomb in multiplayer, you will not see their shield lower when it actually does. You can still fire and cause internals. --------------- Version History --------------- 1.01.00 - First Patch, Offical Release -------------------------------------- * The cost of ships now includes all supplies, so selling supplies back will not reduce the cost of the ship under it's starting value. * Hydrans can now select ECCM 4. * Cloaking Device costs energy to operate. * The enemies in your mission are now directly tied to your location. * Ships will continue to move after attempting to use non-existant Wild Weasel shuttle. * Hydran fighters are no longer useable in Nebulas. * Cloaked ships cannot be the target of hit and run raids without a lock-on. * Scatterpacks have been increased in cost. * Some mission changes. * Legendary officers are slightly harder to find. * Ships attempting to disengage in the upper left hand corner of the map will actually do so now. * Weapons and systems should work properly when repaired. * Point defense no longer occasionally fires while cloaked. * Change Course button in the Galactic News/Map screen works after you load a game. * Sound related issues have been dealt with. * ESG should affect enemy shuttles and fighters. * Non-Rookie officers now start with their proper experience. * Officers in multiplayer are always Senior. * Respawning in Battlefest with black holes no longer causes you to appear _in_ a black hole occasionally. * Freighter speeds have been adjusted in various missions. * Transporting through minimal shields no longer works. * The Hydran DWH has found the dual hellbore icons it was missing. * An AI crash bug (AI attempts to capture while cloaked) was fixed. * Gorn debriefing text now scrolls. * Heavy Weapons no longer have wear and tear. 1.00.01b - Beta Patch --------------------- * Campaign Save Games - fixed file size problem that caused corrupted saves.

It also now only checks when player clicks READY button. * Spacedock Missiles - fixed problem with purchasing large number of missiles for some ships. * Lyran Medals - a minor bug with the Lyran medals screen was fixed. * Specs File - fixed several minor errors (cloaking cost for Klingon D5Y, shield strength for listening posts and other units). * Capturing Listening Posts - no longer causes a crash due to spec file change.
