Thanks Chex.
Unfortunately a lack of testing showed rather clear in the latest release
So today I uploaded 1.15a, with some bugs fixed.

Happy holidays!
My present: A bugfix release. Stock market related game crashes should be a thing of the past now.
I also tried to make the halls of the ancients a bit more interesting.
Hope you guys enjoy it!

Also if you wonder what the endgame looks like:

Hello guys and gals!
A minor update to prospector
This is what happened:

    * 2 New semi-unique planets
    * reading ctrl+ combinations finally works
    * Enemy ships no longer fly into their own plasma streams (as often)
    * And they even go towards you now, when they get you on their sensors!

    * Some bugs fixed

So mainly squishing so minor bugs and glitches here and there, making your prospecting experience more enjoyable

Nice work, magellan! I always make sure to queue up the theme from Firefly when I play prospector.

[magellan]

Prospector now (really, this time) has tiles! Deon volunteered to draw them. so you can actually recognize what they are supposed to depict!
But I guess this is best shown with a picture:


So, if you need a break from all the 7DRLs, give it a spin!

New Version out. I tried to make the early game easier, and improve on the documentation mainly.
Enjoy.

    * You can now circumnavigate planets east to west
    * Critters don't blame you anymore if someone else killed their friends
    * 5 Easy Systems close to the starting station should make the early game easier
    * Companies pay bonuses for certain milestones reached
    * New PDF Manual
    * Shouldnt crash anymore on doomed planet & with ship fire
    * Firing weapons on a planets surface now generates heat, and causes reload time
    * New unique planet
    * Dying planet is now a semi special
    * Improved Logbook and Autopilot for more comfy exploration of the universe
    * New Item: Gas Giant Mining probe
    * Some portals that were invisible now have the tiles they need
    * Some bugs and glitches fixed

I am watching you... in a non perverted way. I like it! The whole theme is really cool, for whatever reason I get a 'Firefly', 'Serenity' kind of vibe. Keep it up!

[magellan]

And here I thought I was just being paranoid

Anyway: 2.2c is out

    * new rumors about special planets
    * you now can save the star-creatures with environmental problems
    * game now actually reads savescumming option
    * some cave entries were invisible in tiles mode
    * special planets now get marked in tiles mode too
    * some balancing
    * Camo (including the artifact) and firing several weapons at once in space combat works now
    * Some minor bugs fixed

Any feedback of course welcome!
