Changes as of November 17, 2015
Campaign
* Increased salvage from combat by 50%
* Reduced number of system bounty events
* Ongoing battles will autoresolve faster if they're lopsided; i.e. several patrols vs a lone pirate frigate will not take a day to autoresolve
* Added current "suspicion level" to black market tooltip
* Emergency Burn:
* Halved CR cost (and thus, supply cost)
* Now prevents CR recovery while active
* Player respawn: will now pick random friendly market to spawn near, favoring larger and friendlier markets
* Boarding:
* Requires and uses only marines
* Removed steps with picking boarding task force and number of marines/crew to use
* Always successful provided there are enough marines
* Faces more resistance from crew (more crew defending at better odds)
* Marine cost increased to 500 credits
* Reduced sell price of ships by half
* Successfully boarded ships are automatically mothballed
* Somewhat save-scum-proof
* Combined "trade disruption" updates into a single item under "Events"
* Added plus sign to icons of officers that can level up
* Removed easy/normal start choice from new game creation; added two difficulty choices:
* Normal
* Easy
* 50% more salvage (supplies, credits, etc)
* Level of AI officers reduced by half
* 10,000 extra starting credits
* "Trade disrupted" and "price update" reports only show up in the campaign-level message list if they're from the same system. Will still always show up in the intel screen.

Combat
* Damage taken is set to "full" by default
* "All" button in deployment dialog will now select as many ships as possible for deployment when there aren't enough points to select all of them, instead of being disabled

* Now prevents active venting instead of increasing overload duration
* Non-missile weapon ranges past 450 units drastically reduced by SO
Changes as of November 03, 2015
Campaign
* Turned off comm sniffer investigations (at least for now)
* Smuggling investigation:
* Will no longer find the player guilty if they were wrongly suspected
* Lasts 2-3 months
* A chief investigator is assigned and can be talked to to resolve any misunderstandings
* Guilty finding drops reputation with faction to inhospitable
* Can be covered up (reducing chances/avoiding investigation entirely) by also selling on open market
* Added "Faction ties" investigation
* Started by major factions when the player has a positive reputation with another major faction
* A chief investigator is assigned and can be talked to to resolve any misunderstandings, but only a couple of times before that's no longer effective
* Maintaining positive reputation with more than one major faction (Diktat, Hegemony, Tri-Tachyon, Luddic Church) is not possible for very long; will eventually become hostile to all but one
* Can avoid by keeping reputation at favorable or below
* Added confirmation to player transponder activation/deactivation (have to use twice in a row to do either)
* Added three new passenger liner type ships
* Added liner fleets carrying passengers to and from different systems
* Market procurement mission: now requires coming into port with transponder off if contact is an underworld figure

* Evenly-matched or weaker fleets may follow you around waiting for an opportunity instead of fleeing or ignoring your fleet
* Valhalla: improved accessibility of Ragnar Complex and nearby markets
* Terrain adjustments:
* Nebulas and asteroid rings/fields now reduce fleet speed based on fleet size instead of reducing the burn level of individual ships
* Magnetic fields now reduce speed and sensor range by 50%
* Nebulas, asteroid rings/fields, magnetic fields, and hyperspace storms now reduce speed by a percentage rather than a multiplier, allowing "Emergency Burn" to take full effect
* Battles in deep hyperspace no longer have nebula patches on the battlefield
* Navigation skill: now reduces burn level penalties from terrain by 5% per level
Combat
* Cruisers will now be assigned to "capture" assignments as needed
* Safety Overrides: now also extends overload duration by 50%
* Hardened Subsystems: reduced CR degrade speed reduction to 25%

* Removed supply cost per day for crew and marines (assumed to be negligible compared to ship maintenance)
* Logistics skill, Leadership aptitude: now reduce maintenance supply use 30%/20% respectively
* Fleet size hard-limited to 25 ships total

Xanderzoo:
!!Five new star systems!! Yay!
Midnight Kitsune:
What about EXP gained from trade? Will officers get a portion of that as well? If I have 10 officers will each get 9% of the earned EXP?

--- End quote ---
No, combat officers don't get any of that. As combat officers, they only gain experience from combat.
Midnight Kitsune:
Will we be able to adjust how much they take from the total amount of combat experience? (IE I could set it so that they can take 10% to 100% from the "pool" of exp) This would be useful all the way through the game.
