Hi everyone, I should post update at some point today. This should resolve a lot of bugs and possible perf issues. One thing I altered in this version no longer using FIGHTER hullsize during combat. This may negatively affect strikecraft that are more in line with regular fighters statswise since AI evaluates threat of a ship with fighter hullsize different to frigatre hullsize, but I need to do so to prevent a recurring CTD that should be fixed in the next star sector update. Since I haven't fully test how much a difference this change will make, you can consider this a beta, but it should still be more stable than last version
