- Increased module and bookmark storage.
- Commanders can now enjoy an increase in module and bookmark storage
- Limit of 200 each.
- The increase limit only applies for personal bookmarks. The Squadron bookmark limit has not been changed.
- An issue has been fixed with how damage is applied to Thargoids in order to fix Thargoid Hearts appearing to become invincible.
- Fancy a bit more info on this? Damage was being applied to the local space of the Thargoid, but each client was rotating the Thargoid locally (like, each player’s personal session of the game), so it would have hearts in different places. Amazing really!
- Previously Player A could shoot thargoid heart but Player B (authority) would register that it didn’t hit the heart and thus apply no damage.

- Addressed a bug where an incorrectly rotated tunnel section within an installation.
- Addressed a bug where a tower clipping into buildings at Horizons bases.

Powerplay:
- The process where control of a starsystem is lost by revolt now correctly accounts for income already provided to competing control systems.
