UPDATED: If you have no weapons or a pugilist weapon in your sidearm slot, the secondary support skill has been changed to sprint. If the primary weapon slot is empty (fists) or a pugilist weapon is equipped, the support skill is taunt. UPDATED: Updated the combat movement path marker to use a much faster system. UPDATED: LOS lines are now displayed almost immediately when the combat movement cursor is moved to a position. UPDATED: I did a lot of work on movement and pathing. Overhead objects, walls, and other objects no longer obstructed floor clicks. If you click the floor, your crew member should move to the location unless blocked. This includes how raycasts for movement interact with PC's, NPC's and the environment. UPDATED: If a health kit is enabled, you can now click through overhead objects, etc to target crew members. UPDATED: A few changes to the world map:

• You can now scroll the area map using the left mouse button and zoom in-out using the mouse wheel.
• World map uses a higher resolution map.
• You can now zoom in much further on the world map.
• World map now remembers your current zoom level and last position during the current game session. You can reset the map using the blue "+" icon on the map.

UPDATED: The star-map search feature loads much faster now. A few other new features:

• The star map now lets you search star systems where you have placed a beacon by entering only a few characters. So, for example, you can search for "Achmedius" by entering "a" and pressing enter in the search field and Achmedius will be displayed along with any other systems that start with an "A". For systems where you have not placed a beacon, you need to enter the entire system name and press search to center the map on that system.
• Entering "cargo" or "ship" in the search field and pressing enter will now display systems where you have cargo or ships.
• The search feature now includes the sector coordinates and sector level for systems where you have placed beacons.

UPDATED: The VSYNC option now enables VSYNC and the frame limiter for the 60FPS and 30FPS options. I'm still doing work on how various high refresh monitors interact with game events and area loading. ADDED: Added new icons to the star map that show you if you have a drone, ship, or cargo storage in a system. If you have placed a beacon in a system, the system has a new icon overlay that shows you at a glance if a beacon is already deployed in the system. ADDED: If a crew member is at the 5 point skill cap, a warning is displayed when entering the inventory or character info screens noting that the crew member will not receive weapon skill experience until they reach the next level. FIXED: When clicking at a specific position in the game world, the navigation marker in combat was not being correctly set to the exact movement position. FIXED: When first entering an area and engaging in combat, the LOS markers and cover icon was not being displayed until an enemy took a single turn. FIXED: A bug in the display of various perk bonuses in the ship skill bonus area. FIXED: Enemy AI equipped with grenades would occasionally throw two grenades during their combat round. FIXED: A number of UI inconsistencies related to closing various menus with the ESC key (LOG - Search, Trade-Net, Faction window). FIXED: A few perk tooltip errors. FIXED: The game would lock up if a crew member dies at the same time as the last enemy in an encounter with a missile launcher, DOT, or grenade. Could also happen if you were in combat mode with no enemies around and you threw a grenade and killed yourself - oops. FIXED: When selecting crew portraits, special attacks for that crew member are now updated correctly in the toolbar. FIXED: A bug with melee movement introduced with the special attacks system that could cause melee crew members to stop before reaching their target causing a loss of AP.
