- Capital Ship Shield Arcs: Capital ships now have directional shields and directional weapons assigned, and these can be tested in showdowns.
Rules can be found here.
Prior to combat, this also changes places where ships with directional shields can take damage, e.g. Asteroid Fields. Damage from asteroid fields will apply from a random direction. This means if you get unlucky you could take hull damage before reaching zero shields.

- Extra Changes:

•  Modifiers have changed for all ship classes, but primarily capitals.,
•  Capital and Super Capital ships can now be attacked by bandits. This means that all ships can now be attacked by bandits. Note that capitals still cannot attack a bandit and will not return fire at this time.,
•  Shields for capital ships are now directional. When hitting from one direction, both that directional shield and the omni shield will take damage. Once both are depleted, the hull will begin taking damage even if other directional shields are still up. Watch out when taking one into an asteroid field!,
•  Turbolaser Batteries now have their own modifier. The most obvious effect on current functionality is that frigates with Turbolaser Batteries will now do less damage to corvettes.,
•  Turbolaser Batteries have had their number of shots increased but damage reduced. Overall damage remains the same.,
•  Quad tracking has been increased.,
•  Firepower increase for personal ionic weapons (Electrostaff, Jawa Ionisation Blaster, TB-1a). This is to help counteract the previous addition of armour for droids.

Bugs:
- Fixed pew pew lasers not showing on atmosphere maps.
- Improved crewlist modify error messages.
- Added Khuiumin to the darkness map.
