Alex:
Going to spend a bit of time testing this, see how it goes, and then make a release if all is well. Planning to do a .2 release at some point after that to address other lower-priority issues.

Megas:
Will this be compatible with 0.7a saves?

CrashToDesktop:
Those faction commissions!  Awesome!

Do what you want 'cause a pirate is!...wait, wrong faction. :)
