3) New Feature: Fleet overlay UI for the battle screen showing every ship on your fleet and it’s current status.

4) Usability: Mouse cursor now changes to the hand icon when over something clickable.

5) New Feature: Added module stat comparison window when you click any item of module data.

6) Bug Fix: Weapons will now fire at anything within range correctly, even if ordered not to attack a certain class, providing that no other suitable targets are in range.
