New build: 1.3.1 released

Dear all,

I've just released version 1.3.1 of Sol Trader, which fixes a number of niggling issues in 1.3 and improves gameplay balance.

NOTE: this version will invalidate save games. If you want to continue with an older save, then do the following to stay on an older version of the game:

• Right click on the game in your Steam Library and choose 'Properties'. Click the 'Betas' tab.

• Enter the beta access code ’soltraderversion13’ and click 'Check code'

• Choose the ‘version1.3’ option from the drop-down list

• Wait for your game to update and play!

Here's a list of changes:

• New feature: Organisation charts are now available on a tooltip over the organisation name, and also by clicking on the small organisation button in the middle panel heading.

• New feature: Communes are now Parks: hippies still hang out there, but so can everyone else. It's another place you can find people socialising during the day, who perhaps don't like visiting bars.

• New feature: History generation now prioritises jobs in low-population cities. This has the effect of rebalancing things so that Frontier Space and the Outer Alliance have more people than before, so it's easier to progress.

• Made the AI more likely to choose to go to work, even for non-essential jobs.

• Increased speed of history generation by 5% and dropped save file footprint by 40%.

• Stopped traders getting stuck when selling goods.

• Stop the player from asking for an introduction to someone who is dead.

• Fix crash when landing in a place with a destroyed ship.

• Fixed Missing Strings in profession choices.

• Fixed bug where having map open whilst landing would cause weird effects.

• Characters now tell you the missions they have available on the tooltip before you start speaking to them.

• Triple-click on a navigation label or arrow will now start autopilot.

• Made Tiger I slightly lighter and therefore faster.

• Sleep/work/launch are now icons at the top of the screen, so that they don't conflict which each other.

Enjoy! Let me know if you have any issues.
