Ambrosia Software, Inc. has just released an Escape Velocity 1.0.5
Updater. This updater only works if you already have an earlier version
of Escape Velocity. If you do not already have Escape Velocity, you need
to download the complete Escape Velocity 1.0.5 package.

This updater brings Escape Velocity up to Escape Velocity 1.0.5, the
latest version which contains a number of bug fixes and adds a few
features. All of the files in the Escape Velocity 1.0.5 Update should be
extracted into your existing Escape Velocity folder to properly upgrade
Escape Velocity to version 1.0.5.

The following is a list of the bugs that were fixed in Escape Velocity
1.0.5:

-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes negatively affect your legal status
when destroying pirates and aliens

-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes kill off pilots for no apparent
reason (pilot files from 1.0.4 or before affected by this problem can
now be used again)

-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes make hyperspace lines disappear from
the map

-- Selling the current weapon will cause it to be deselected if
necessary

-- Escort ships' fighters are no longer catatonic

-- New, more-detailed graphics for all ships

-- Beam weapons should no longer leave stray pixels behind
