Greetings.

It includes a number of important fixes, most importantly for the infinite fire bug.

Balance Mod users note that the v115+ series is completely compatible with the new SE5 patch. You may want to change the Amount1 value for the Self-Destruct Device component in the mod to 50% etc. It now specifies the % chance the device will explode when your ship is captured.

The SE5 patch download is here:

The changelog:

Version 1.79:

1. Changed - Reduced stealth armor\'s maximum cloaking level.
2. Fixed - Boarding defense would sometimes result in Security Stations with greater than 100% damage.
3. Added - Ability value to \"Self-Destruct\" ability type which specifies the chance the self-destruct will
go off during a boarding action.

Sure about the compatibility .. those new design types do not pose any problem?

And what about savegame compatibility?

The design type change has no impact on current games. If you're starting a new stock game, you'll be able to select from a few more design types that are supported by the stock ministers, such as Satellite Layers etc.

It's save game compatible.
