Many thanks!  And no worries, school always comes first.

* In recent betas, the repair outflows for healing ships were not only massively too expensive, they were also hugely variant based on the performance profile in use. This has now been fixed.
** In our tests, the very high and insane profiles were perfectly identical, however on extremely low there was a difference in cost of about half of one percent. This minuscule difference is based on the precision of the operations in question, and is unavoidable, and is generally small enough that it seems quite trivial.

cant wait

Also, i assume this wont cause sync errors on multiplayer? not sure how performance stuff scales in multiplayer games

Everyone in an mp game is always on the same perf profile

For reasons of sync.  Even aside from the economy, the performance profile changes the outcome of battles pretty massively.  Not in a macro sense that a human would notice, probably, but in a turn-by-turn sense it's an entirely different approximation at each level.  You punch me three times, rather than 16, but four times as hard each time, etc, etc.

Should be out within 30 minutes.

oh.. didn't know that, ok

I gotta run to dinner, actually, so it's going to slow down this next release.  I'll put it out right after I get back, though.
