Your crew's skills and mood can now affect the outcome of encounters and the options you have. The other big change is that the time limit has been removed. Instead, you now receive more limited fuel at the start of the game, and have to periodically report back to base to ask for more fuel. Your performance in the game so far affects how much extra fuel you are granted. Beyond that, various GUI and performance issues and bugs were fixed and a new tutorial was written.</p> | Space Exploration: Serpens Sector dev 9 | updated | Space Exploration: Serpens Sector |

Glade layout files allow you to pick a different user interface, or even create your own; the client now ships with a number of layouts, including one that imitates the old gtk client, one optimized for very large resolutions, and one for smaller resolutions. </p> | CrossFire 1.12.0 | updated | CrossFire |
