Patch 167

Ore system:

• Credits are now the main currency.
• Visiting the galaxy map or a trade auto-sells your ore for credits at a rate of 1:10.
• Tech labs and gamblers now accept credits; the relative price remains the same.
• Repair bots and ore generators now consume credits.

Misc.:

• Allied ships in the 'defend x' missons now warp out after you completed the respective goal.
• The energy required to remain cloaked now rises exponentially over time.
• The game now disposes/frees more of its used OpenGL resources when exiting.
• When a shop/gambler/techlab dies in a map, it dies in real life... I mean the galaxy map...

Bug fixes:

• Fixed a bug causing techlabs and gamblers to refuse docking.
• Destroying an asteroid now stops the ore extraction.
• Improved description and text for the mine ore mission. Also, there should now always be at least 5 ore to mine.
• Replicated ships no longer show up as destroyed ships on the score screen.
• Closing a shop screen on the galaxy map should no longer accidentally trigger missions hiding below.
• Cloaked ships now a) completely break missile tracking, b) cannot be drained by the energy absorber, c) no longer affect the camera.
• Faction standings can no longer go beyond -0 or +8.
• Fixed a bug causing commands to get lost when your ship breaks apart.
• Fixed a crash in the skirmish mode caused by specific replicator designs.
