- Fixed crew members not going aboard Stardock reliably.
- Added option to dismiss a companion from a fleet ship when they are recruited.
- Enabled Torin's "bumped into" lines for activating the Heimdall armillary.
- Gren will now correctly recognize when the player installs a skydrop on their home ship.
- Ensured the player had learned of the major arrays before allowing quest 4 to trigger.
- Fixed the naming of Chinese localization files so they should now use English text as with other untranslated languages.
- Regenerated Battleship interiors to update the appearance of the living quarters hab.
- Adjusted the amount of materials dropped by certain enemies.
- Modified the Eridani III orbit section to prevent an issue some players where experiencing where other random or mod-added encounters could block Torin from showing up.
- Modified several locations where key objective related Watchtower NPCs could end up out of the player's reach, including an area in the Spacer station during the quest Lost in Transmission.
- Adjusted the way Watchtower quest icons are displayed to try and resolve several visual issues.
- Reduced the number of major hub array kills required to trigger all of Gren’s unlocks from 3 to 2.
- Adjusted angle of mech skydrop projectile FX.
- Adjusted array objectives to fire more reliably.
- Adjusted objective markers to not point through the locked elevator after finishing clearing the facility during the quest Port in a Storm.
- Forced combat to stop when the player tries to leave the final Watchtower Station to resolve an issue where the player would receive a warning that they couldn't do so during combat.
- Took measures to try and prevent an issue some players experienced where Gren's ship immediately flew away after landing during a particular scene.
- Forced Torin to be available for reassignment after having his last conversation during the quest Last Watch.
- Fixed a bug with the compass while in scanner mode.
- Fixed array objectives clearing the wrong system name when destroying a minor array.
- Disabled fleet ships when they should not be visible anyway to prevent oddities with overlapping ships.
- Restored fleet ship health when grav jumping.
- Prevented boarding objectives from firing in Cruisers.
- Watchtower Cruisers should correctly no longer be pilotable.
- Prevented fleet ships from appearing in the UC pilot simulator.
- Corrected various Watchtower hab issues and regenerated their ship interiors.
- Fixed various typos.
- Fixed a bug where Gren would say to the player there were no more Skydrops to unlock lines when the player is unable to unlock more Skydrops due to a lack of computer cores.
- Prevented arrays from spawning in orbits that do not allow space encounters.
- Fixed array health diminishing to almost nothing when loading a save near one.
- Gave major arrays a different satellite model than minor ones to help differentiate them visually.
- Removed Stardock from the stardock crime faction to ensure it does not turn hostile to the player.
- Added a low chance for small Watchtower patrols to spawn even in systems where the array has been destroyed. This should ensure players can continue to farm for resources and capture ships after completing the main quest line.

- Blocked boarding the initial batch of ships defending Heimdall during the quest Last Watch.
- Prevented escape music ending prematurely if certain stages fire out of order during the quest Last Watch.

- Further ensured that pacifying hostile ships will prevent the need to kill them to advance the quest Last Watch.
- Fixed Harper not properly taking intel from contraband containers.
- Removed auto dismissal option for fleet pilots being hired as followers as this would also remove them as a follower.

- Added a failsafe for the quest The Stars Have Eyes to ensure it starts when the save file is loaded if it previously failed to start.

- Fixed a bug in the quest Lost in Transmission that could occur if the player leaves the spacer ship while Torin is using the terminal.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent Torin being able to be reassigned after the quest Last Watch.
- Fixed a bug that could cause the quest Last Watch to restart. For players who had this occur, the restarted quest should be shut down after loading this patch.
- Fixed a bug that could prevent the player from continuing the quest Last Watch if they exited the conversation between Gren and Torin at the wrong time.
- Fleet ships will now be automatically repaired after the player Grav Jumps.
- [McClarence Outfitters Players] Fixed McClarence shop on Stardock potentially becoming difficult to unlock if the player fully upgrades Stardock before completing Jason's quest to expand the number of shops.

- Modified the initial encounter with Watchtower so that if another mod disrupts the encounter, Fast Travel will be re-enabled.
