On the RC2 topic. 
I am seeing RC2 in the actual file name I download (try to download (thanks Norton)). 
And I see it on the mouse-overs of the links on the Starsector 0.54.1a release page:

Hmmm I kinda like the name change.  suits the game considering you deciding the fate of the sector. Glad About the guardian and tachyon changes. There a definate upgrade on the skills menu, overall I say I like the update.

Sensor dish?  Is it actually mounted on any ships?  If not, I can manage. ;D

It's not, no. Just used it to test.

I actually like the change in name. It should help making it more popular.

I hope it was due to election and not obligation.

Wait, I'm confused. You're saying the false association would be a good thing?

Ah, I was afraid that was not clear, sry. If I read "Alpha/Beta Object" the first thing that reaches my consciousness is Alpha -Object, followed by Beta-Object (provided I'm a proficient reader). This first thing is automatically interpreted/associated before the overall context. So if the resulting first association dissents from the real/overall meaning that leads to a short confusion.

To avoid that I would place "engine" in front, because nobody will jump to "damage caused by engines" while some may spontaneously associate weapon damage as "damage caused by weapons".

That's too much text for so small an issue, though.

The game was completed 8 years ago and we get a free expansion every year.

Arranging holidays in an embrace with the Starsector is priceless.

hmmm v.4 was released back in May 2012 so at this rate, Starfarer should finish a week before StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void...right?  ;D

Seriously now, any idea when the trading, exploring aspect of the game will be available?

Is there an example for the "alwaysAnimate" piece of code?  I tried plugging it in as-is, the green coder I am, and obviously got an error.

Ah, hmm. But then "weapon damage" go next to each other, which seems about as bad, for a slightly different reason. Seems like 6 of one, half dozen of the other.

Just put "alwaysAnimate":"true", somewhere in the .wpn file.

I hate to do this, but soon(tm). About as much detail I can go into is to say is we're working on it - but that could mean design work, prototyping, or actual implementation, for all you know :)

@Alex Heads up, the main webpage, top banner still says 'Starfarer'.

Not after you've cleared your cache.

D'oh! My bad!

I personally kind of liked Starfarer better as a name (or maybe it's just not being used to it?), but it may fit better to the game's content once the player actually travels around the sector.

I just hope you changed it voluntarily and weren't forced to change it by some legal ***.

For all i care the game can be called "Flying Space Monkeys"...as long as what we have now in terms of content, combat, design and mechanics stays and will be in all positive ways expanded upon, i'll be happy. Great stuff alex, thank you.

I know its of little importance; but he grammar Nazi in me says "100% Extra damage taken on Weapon Systems and Engines" Should be concise clear and accurate
