Discovery 4.82 Final Release

Final version of Discovery Freelancer 4.82 is now available for download. This version has no known bugs, and if no serious issues will be found after it's installed on our server, I will submit it to Lancer's Reactor and ModDB.com.



Final version is almost identical to beta 3. There are several changes, like trade lane view distance fix and new wrecks added to Tau-31 system.

Download, activate, enjoy!
