In regards to the fury, I tried it out with the upcoming changes to burst pds and typhoons in this layout:
Noted this one too, thank you!
(CH removes the fighter penalties and DTA adds +100 range to fighter weapons.)
For Converted Hangar, does that mean...
* Fighters cost normal OP?
* Expanded Deck Crew can be added?
Sorry it wasn't clear, I just meant the damage taken/speed penalties and the d-mod overlay.
Wasn't DTA the cheapest hullmod in the game? +100 range seems like a fairly minor upside then.
One of - I think it's a pretty strong bonus! Maybe not for the Xyphos, but that's alright.
Make sure to enjoy your mining auroras while you can. Our beloved mining arrays will be hybrid weapons soon so you won't be able to do this anymore 
Oh no! BRB rolling back changes.
This is out of left field but have you ever had to use yer data backup service to recover Starsector's source code? Could we have lost Starsector forever because of a power outage or hard drive failure?
I haven't, no. But: using an external 3rd-party source code (etc) repository, which has its own backups. And at any time, the most recent code (etc) (up to within a day or so) is on both my and David's computers. So there's a good amount of redundancy here.
Also, is this patch further along than when you normally post patch notes or do we still have a couple months of additional tweaks and play testing?
Yes!
