MAIN CHANGES
This is a minor update to consolidate any improvements and bug fixes up to this point, as development will be suspended for the next 2-3 weeks. Nevertheless, it does include some cosmetic changes to all spacecraft (VF-class in particular), and also some important changes to weapon balancing (the Corn Shotgun in particular).
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).
