MAIN CHANGES
It’s been a while since v.99, so this is in many ways a long update. However, it’s also not a “complete” update: re-balancing changes made to spacecraft are still ongoing. Since they require extensive technical changes to underlying systems, they will be rolled out progressively. Things should settle by v.101 or v.102. Important changes:
-
You can now leave and re-join the League.
-
As part of spacecraft re-balancing, all owned BX-6 spacecraft have been automatically upgraded to BX-7 (of equivalent rarity). Satellites and hardpoints have been emptied, and must be re-mounted manually.
-
The sound library has been updated. If you notice any looping sounds playing after they should have stopped, please report it immediately.
Bug/Idea medals will be awarded later in the day. 
Your medal cannot be awarded if your in-game callsign doesn’t match your forum name (send it to me in a private message).
COMPATIBILITY
You will lose:
- any mid-mission progress
- all graphics options, which includes your window/borderless/fullscreen setting.
- your language selection
