329:
Single Engine afterburners became the old missile flames
Dual engine afterburners are smaller and turns red. (except the sethdar)
Triple Engine (merchant freighter) have two smaller red ones and one normal one.
Merchant Cruiser special adds another big blue afterburner on its tail.
Missile flames became blue and bigger.

coolest tails: Merchant Cruiser, Merchant Freighter and Nukes!

The framerate no longer displays in ports or colonies. It used to display erroneously. That was somewhere between 334 and 336.

i think we can quite happily say, there have been hundreds of patches and most of them vital to the way the game looks and feels

No, most of them fixed bugs, when I started there were about a patch or more a day, and only like two of those changed the game, pollution, and a rep adjustment.

The one I bolded has always been so; perhaps the 'feature' was enhanced?

They look like BBQ now.

And yeah the drop all has been in for like 2 patches.

And relentless it was changed a lot.
"Dark Mistress Envy (Gemini Holdings): did my nuke just fly backwards..."
"Dread Pirate Solar.Dancer (Gemini Holdings): no you must be on drugs"
That was after he got me to fire a nuke going full reverse...

Yeah, I know, I am not likely to be invading until it gets fixed and if it doesn't I may quit.

One upside to do with invading... you can now shoot nukes around corners without it getting stuck to a nuke trap, or without getting hit, or without making lasers start up :)

326: Carbon gun on battleship given faster fire rate.

older patches not listed:

- EMPs were made to work on NPCs (this was quite a while ago) - pretty handy if you sneak up on an NPC whos resting against a planet :)

- impossible for neg reppers to recruit from ports now even if they have loads of xp, not sure when this happened.
