- Favourite now works properly on stacks

- Signals for the same boss can stack

- Ships will be a bit smarter in engaging targets in range rather then chasing one that damaged them first

Fixes

- Fixed Stella's special skill

- Fix for opening the shipyard when the UI is stacked

- Fix for stats properly calulcating at the moment that officer levels up or is assigned

- Another pass to fix jumpgate passes

- Fixed close button showing up in filter list when in hangarloadout screen, added close button to that screen itself instead

Cheers,

Enable the beta version

Make sure to keep an old save game when switching to the beta, just in case. We always make sure that your save games will keep working, but as long as the beta is ahead of the release, the beta save game won't work on the release version until it catches up.

To take part go to Manage and select Properties for Vanguard Galaxy in Steam:

And select the open-beta under Game Versions & Betas as shown below.
