Release notes. 1.0.9
Changes
-------
- Ship damage segment overhaul & visualisation system.
> Mouse over the segment name in the Ship Info panel and the corresponding segment will be highlighted on the ship. Segments are also highlighted in the Repairs screen.
> Damage calculations have been updated so that projectiles hitting a ship match the visualisation.
- Added ability to rename Officers, once recruited
- Changed fighter AI logic when selecting targets to bias towards other fighter squadrons, especially ones that are targeting them
- Added a multiplayer slow down and no fly zone, called the Operational Zone, to reduce griefing
> Updated "Refinery" and "Dark Nebula" to include more environmental elements to support the Operational Zone boundaries
- Cylon Fleets now have greater variation of fleets at every stage of the game, including smaller fleets during mid- & late-game so that inexperience commanders have a greater change of survival
- Made the ship projections a shade of yellow color if they are moved during the current turn (when not selected)

- Various minor UI improvements for gamepad users:
> Added 'Y' for battle functions menu gamepad prompt to battle scene
> Added the subsystem being repaired to the repairing 3D label
> Made the subsystem health bar flash white in the ship info panel if it was being repaired
