Merry Christmas from the Fleet Operations Team!


Looks like Santa went all the way to Romulus and Qo'noS to collect you a small patch. This update fixes several bugs and adds a new ability for the Starfleet Remore class.
Modders should also take a look at the changes and additions. A precise list of renamed variables is available on the Modifications Board.
