A few tiny changes, including one or two bug fixes.
This version is mostly about syncing the binary version with the code - many changes that did not on their own were important enough for a binary release, combined with the long time passed, it's time for a new one.
Most notable bug fix is that exiting the game should now always work. Also, ship designers will now limit the points you can use for your ship.
I've spent the last couple of weeks making the game actually playable in non-windows stations - thanks to Chris (For pointing out it doesn't work, and for repeatedly testing versions on his Linux station) and to Sonia (For testing on the Mac).
It should now work on any computer with a 5.0 JRE installed.
Also: I know of are two bugs in the game; If you happen to run across any more, please let me know, so I can fix them :)... read more
