We are also releasing new version of Zero-K and lobby:

Changes:

• storages now reserve the metal stored. To use it you need to set construction to high priority. Morphing or weapon reload (nuke) automatically taps from reserve.

• clan icons and avatars are visible in lobby and ingame. New playerlist shows rank icons and clan icons too (only works 100% for people who use Zero-K lobby).

• ingame GUI streamlined - playerlist, console with chat history and epic menu can be all displayed/hidden by pressing escape. Console appears when you start typing text. Important ally and enemy chat messages appear in bubbles.

• text to speach is silent for spectators

• various lobby tweaks in tooltips and player lists. Its possible to filter people by clan shortcut. Settings of lobby now contain frequently used engine settings like windowed mode or hw cursor.

• various minor planetwars tweaks - ships that cannot reach planet (broken wormholes) return home. Also ships orbiting allied planets return home.
