Change Log:
- Modders can now design ships with the ability to destroy planets. Added a new buffInstantActionType "RuinPlanet" to accomplish this. An example ability called "AbilityRuinPlanet.entity" demonstrates its usage.
- Fixed moveAreaRadius and hyperspaceExitRadius being defined in scenarios and the randomizer. e.g. Randomly generated planets will now take the appropriate values from their entity definition.
- Added backwards compatibility for any user made maps that were created using version 4 (the latest prior to this update). All standard maps have been updated to version 5.
- Fixed "Wail of the Sacrificed". "ApplyBuffToTargetsAtAdjacentOrbitBodies" now affects all adjacent bodies regardless of whether they have been explored or not.
- Fixed "Planet for a Planet". Fixed Research modifier "ApplyBuffToAllOwnedShipsWhenOwnedPlanetFalls" from affecting all players. It now only affects the player who owned the planet.
- useCostType "ResourcesAndMustHaveCapitalCrew" now allows designer to specify the capitalShipSlots and regular shipSlots.
- Fixed bug where there was no music to play in the interim between frontend and entering a new match.
- Added a new BuffInstantActionType "GiveExperience"
- Modders can now specify up to 9 titans to build in the menu.
