"32. Added - "Do Not Leave Sector Until Defeated" to strategy retreat settings. This option indicates that
when a vehicle retreats, it should not leave the sector (the combat map) as long as we have
ships with weapons still on our side in combat. "

Wohoo! Finally an end to supply ships getting separated from the main fleet or impaling themselves on enemy weapons.

[Devnullicus]

Holy Crap! This is the best patch for modders yet! Look at all those new functions!

Now if he'd just give some love to the component enhancement ability parser... many of the abiltiies that work for components don't seem to have any effect on component enhancements. In any case, I'm gonne be a VERY happy camper with this next patch!

[Atrocities]

Looks like I might have to get serious about playing SE V again.

[Q]

Yes Atrocities, give SE V a new chance!
When I compare the game at its release and the prsent status it is a huge difference. And I really enjoy it now!
