Which we recommend reading. Also a host of other changes in this release, some requested, some bugfixes. Damaged ships are now auto-repaired on docking, and no longer require explicit repairs. License tests are now both free and automatic, once you reach the necessary skill level you are given the associated License. AI for bots and NPCs has been dramatically improved, and the bots may need to be nerfed a bit now. Many other changes and bugfixes, big and small, can be viewed in the MOTD on game startup.
