In this patch we're fixing a few bugs and improving usability. Cargo Bay UI is now clearer. Overheating Bars are now next to the turrets they refer to and are not shown when not necessary. The Scripting API has been extended for turrets.

Beta Branch Note: These changes are currently available on the beta branch. The beta branch is for testing experimental changes and for finding and fixing errors.

This is how you get access to the beta branch (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK):
Right-Click on Avorion in your Steam list, Properties -> Betas -> Select branch 'beta'.
