## v0.11.3 "Planet Tales" (2024-11-30) ##
### Changes from beta 0.11.2x ###
* Blockades will end if no markets of the target faction remain in system; capturing a blockaded market will remove the blockade condition
* Player-requested invasion fleets will make the captured markets autonomous if player has no free admins or governing capacity left
* Revoking this autonomy will not cause unrest (once per market)
* Autonomous colony default income mult 0.2 -> 0.25
* Factions don't send suppression fleets if allied with the rebels' sponsor faction
* Player faction (and governed colonies) also don't send any suppression fleets
* Player's autonomous and governed colonies can get Luddic Majority on upsize
* Random sector Kanta's Den is no longer a free port; actually gets its admin
* Contact-buys-ship mission a bit less frequent

* Fix wrong description texts for Mairaath under a different faction
* Add `nex_enableMiningFleets` field to settings.json
* Mining output .csv supports adding new commodities
### Gameplay ###
* Expand the 'skip story' option to support specific amounts of progress, and multiple vanilla/mod quest chains
* Rebellions from low stability should obey some invasion config options
* Specifically the 'no invasions until player colony' and 'no invasions of core worlds' rules
* Strategic AI can act to help allies against a faction not currently hostile to the AI faction
* Adjust some alliance war/peace vote behavior
* On war declaration, add -5 relations padding so random rep gains won't push the faction back over the peace threshold
* Factions that are not at war with each other following a vote should avoid deliberately going to war for some time after
* Add a config option for player special task group maintenance costs
* Player special task groups can use wormholes
* Starlight Cabal from Underworld is now a pickable faction at start
* Marine XP gain from ground battles now based on share of damage dealt
* Change some handling of invasion points to avoid large overdrafts
* Fighting in a system with player outpost doesn't reduce colony crisis points any more
* Added config option for price multiplier in NPC 'buy ships' mission
* Add a settings.json option for pirate/Pather bases to spawn even when their factions are dead
### GUI ###
* Blueprint swap at Prism Freeport gives ship/fighter preview
* Invasion point counter in diplomacy profile and strategic AI page has a breakdown tooltip
### Bugfixes ###

* Remove EMP that doesn't actually work from Silverlight's Alicorn
### Misc. ###
* Add projectile trails to Silverlight's Alicorn
* Typo fixes by nissa
### Modding ###
* Various bits of Second in Command compatibility
* Some Strategic AI refactors
* In particular, `reapplyPriorityModifiers` is called from AI module after generation, instead of the concern always having to do it
* Executive module has getters for the number of actions a faction can take per meeting, and the `StatBonus` required to change this
* Reduce the number of libraries needed at compile time
* Removed: ApproLight, Knights Templar, Underworld
* Added: Second in Command
* Custom starts can hide or disable themselves in their script
You may want to use the
ResetRelationships command to start with fresh faction relationships (particularly if some factions died in the last run).
The
SetMarketOwner <market_or_location_name> <faction> command can be used to give a market to another faction (including one not currently alive in the sector).
