Privateer: Ascii Sector v0.6.6.1 released!

Wasn't sure how compatible saves were, but it'll make it a lot less painful if I they're all backwards-compatible.
 
Yeah, updating is just a matter of downloading the latest version and unzipping the archive (and just overwriting your current game directory). The saves aren't touched and work in the updated version. :)

- Fixed a bunch of crashing bugs with grenade throwing.
- Fixed bug with combat messages.
- Fixed bug with being able to throw grenades into the outer walls on board a spaceship.
- Fixed minor bug with fixer mission descriptions.
- Fixed bug with drugs not affecting the time used for throwing grenades.
- Fixed bug with reappearing stuff from a destroyed boarded ship.
- Fixed bug with missing fixer when returning for payment.
- Another attempt at fixing the music crash bug.
- Various code improvements and optimizations.
- Guild computers now warn you if there is less than 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 hours or 30, 20, 10 minutes left to complete the mission.
- You can now capture/kill bounty hunting targets on board their ship (the chance of a target ejecting when his/her ship is destroyed has also been decreased, so you will have to board to be 100% sure to capture him/her).
- You can now scoop up as many ejected pilots as can fit on your ship.
- Scooped hostile pilots are no longer automatically converted into 1 unit of Slaves.
- When walking into a stunned or captive character, you'll now get asked if you want to attack/talk to him or manage him (which lets you see his inventory, as well as capture, release, transfer and enslave him).
- When firing a gun/rifle at a target right next to you, the target will try to knock it out of your hand. You will likewise automatically try to knock a gun/rifle away from a character shooting at you.
- Hitting a character in the head (without using a melee weapon) will increase the character's stunned value.

- Fixed some bugs with crippled limbs and critical wounds.
- Fixed bug with characters spawning on top of each other... oh, yeah!
- Fixed bug with scooped hostiles disembarking ship when landing.
- Fixed bug with ship kills not being registered.
- Fixed bug with some ejected pilot kills not completing missions.
- Bounty hunting capture alive missions now pay more.
- If you try to capture a character but don't have any ElectroCuffs, the game will now tell you that you don't have any. Likewise, if you try to enslave a character but haven't got any free space in your cargo hold or the character is needed for a mission, the game will now tell you.
 
Yeah i play it once in a while, then i go check this thread and its like "WTF 5 updates?!". And each one almost a complete sequel.
 
Thanks for the encouragement, guys! :)

I'm currently working on implementing the sector's casino on board a retrofitted Drayman floating around in an asteroid field. Already got video poker programmed in and making good progress with blackjack.

I hope to have the casino done soon so I can release a new version again that isn't just bugfixes. In the meantime...

- Fixed bug that wouldn't allow you to take off because of a non-existent passenger.
- Fixed bug that sometimes made corpses on your ship not show up on the cargo terminal.

Aaaaand there was yet another bug in one of the bugfixes included in v0.6.2.4. I've re-re-uploaded this version.

Boy do I fail at game development today...
 
Same here. I'm on another hiatus as I get other things done (finals are coming up, distracted by other things, etc), but it's good to know that when I do come back there's already another, better build!
