It's been nearly two months since the last release! I've been working steadily on new mission content...none of which is in this build. Sorry, folks! I need to build up a stock of unreleased content so I can make a big splash in a few months. So this release is mostly bug fixes and secondary updates. Gameplay:

• The game now takes photos of your ship in action during each mission! The end-of-mission screen shows you these photos, along with some basic stats on your ship. Show off your accomplishments!
• Engines and drives have been overhauled. Each ship category (Destroyer/Cruiser/Battleship) now gets a different version of each of the basic engine and drive techs; cruisers and battleships no longer have excessively tiny engines and drives. The "Heavy" drives (e.g. Heavy Geared Drive) have been dummied out -- they'll still work in existing ships, but you can't build them in new ships.
• Planes now fly in formations. Planes should be generally easier to deal with. Enemy airstrips and aircraft carriers can run out of aircraft
• New dialog user interface
• The engine overdrive special is more powerful.
• The engine overdrive, dodge, and drift specials all have new graphics.
• Overhauled weapon displays during combat; ships with lots of weapons should no longer break the HUD unless they have really an absurd number of weapons. Yes, this is a challenge.
• Photo mode now has an adjustable camera speed
• Various performance improvements; in particular, firing angles in the ship designer should be a lot faster.
• The timer in "Taking Flight" is no longer visible (since it does not affect gameplay anyway)
• Various new weapons and other toys, mostly silly
• Tweaked stats for Ballistic Laser weapon
• Updated the main menu and intermission to look nicer
• New visuals for the volcano gun projectiles
• Explosions look slightly different
• Tweaked stats for Portland aft bridge and CA Mtech bridge
• Tweak the Bazel's underdeck space to be a bit more generous
• Tweak stats for gatling torpedo launcher

• Fix airplanes being way too loud
• Fix being unable to lock onto buildings that spawn in the middle of missions (e.g. pressure regulators at Katla)
• Fix PT boats not having useful underdecks
• Fix submarines not being choosable in freeplay mode.
• Fix a bug causing the ship designer to break when backing out of the bridges/vents menus
• Hopefully fix an issue causing enemies to not spawn in properly in "Storm Descendent". Please let me know via F7 reports if you still encounter problems!

• Pause most particle systems during dialog
• Fix planes dropped by other planes not working
• Fix projectiles exploding immediately if they spawn inside of a shield
• Fix spread on 7-tube torpedo launcher being uneven

• Parts can specify `scaleOverride`, which lets you resize them. E.g. [2, .5, 1] scales the part 2x in X, .5 in Y, and 1 in Z.
• Parts can specify `limitShipCategory` which makes the part only usable on a specific ship category, e.g. Destroyer/Cruiser/Battleship
• Parts can specify `additionalUnlocks`, which are additional techs that unlock when the first tech is unlocked. If the base tech is already unlocked in a save file, then the secondary techs will automatically be unlocked when the save is loaded.
• Added `projectileHitSize` which lets you hard-define how big of a collision volume a given projectile gets.
