Patch incoming - 0.153

[Stellar Tactics]

Patch will be posted shortly - This is mostly a stability patch with a few additional fixes to mission location data, EXP scaling and a few other things. In particular, some players were having problems saving a game, then loading that game to find part of the load screen graphic displayed over the loaded scene. This is now fixed. I've also fixed a very annoying quick save bug related to speaking to a faction agent and then immediately saving the game. A rare bug, loading between areas was causing a stall - this should also be fixed now.

I'd like to thank all of you for your patience while I've been fixing these issues. If you do find any level loading errors or save game glitches, please let me know by posting on the bug forums. I always prioritize these over other work that needs to be done.

FIXED: A bug that could cause corruption of the quick save if saved immediately after taking a mission from a faction agent.
FIXED: A bug that could cause save game corruption if the game was saved in the Abandoned Facility staging area.
FIXED: The help screen and tutorial would occasionally set the game in a state where the crew manager could not be opened until you opened and then closed the help screen again.
FIXED: Several small glitches in a few of the mission areas (reason for large download this patch)
FIXED: Another fix for tab target random crash during space combat
FIXED: Grenades once again have a maximum range.
UPDATED: Cover indicator on cursor is now hidden when moving cursor and displayed only at cover positions.
UPDATED: NPC ship shield and armor values now scale correctly.
UPDATED: Adjusted scaling of EXP relative to melee -vs- ranged weapons in ground combat.

Awesome game. I'm an older gamer (70) and I can't put it down.

Seems the game scratches an itch in the right way, that many mature, aswell as younger gamers missed in some of the other new games (myself included with 56 ticks on the clock) .

Well, OK, I'm 58 and a game developer, loved video since they were invented, and this game is really awesome - gives me that feeling I used to get playing a Microprose, Omnitrend, New World Computing, Origin, Looking Glass, Nova Logic or (put your fav old school game dev team here) game. I can see playing this for hundereds of hours, for many years.
