The patch from the beta branch is now live on the main branch for everybody to play!

You can also expect a hotfix for stations without docks and repairing of destroyed docks very soon, but these fixes didn't make it into this one.

Patchnotes TLDR: Lots of small QoL changes, less crashing, less total war between factions, better multiplayer performance and a lot less disappearing ships, even when a crash happens.
