Discovery 4.86 - Update 1 Released

[AeternusDoleo]

The release status for the mod remains beta trial and it will be this way for 2-3 weeks. The previous announcement did not make the release status clear. The person responsible for this oversight has been given a stern talking to. When questioned he is reported to have muttered something about new year eve parties, beer and hang overs.

Talking to yourself again...? Not a good sign. Then again, must have been some party.

Anyway, clarifying some specifics:
- Turrets on the Scraper and Surveyor should fire forwards now. Happy mining with these. The Pirate Train had some poorly oriented hardpoints sorted - the thruster for one was blasting the wrong way and some turrets were poorly aligned.
- An unmentioned server crash issue was a couple of Hessian trade path terminating at an undockable base for them (Freistadt) and one Unioner path terminating in a void.
- The Honshu and Burgundy issues are inherent to FL - a limitation of the game being able to handle more then 10 connectors (Gates and holes) in one system, but not documenting this limitation. All other systems were checked and found to have a lower count. This'll be taken into account for future system development - any system with 10 connectors is full and can't get additional jump nodes. This was a nasty bug to figure out.

We'll prolly identify a few more servercrash issues over the coming days, and hopefully fix it.
