@alvek
Can you verify weapons are sounding on your end? I am getting no weapon sounds in 1.01 but when I revert back to 1.82 I do.
Also the issue I have with a shipset not loading as described in the refreshed mod thread seems to also be a problem with 1.01 and not 1.82.
Great work btw I like the load time reduction and the general quicker feel to large games.
There was some bugs with sounds and crashes in 1.01 and 1.00, wait for 1.03 to check again. Probably will finish 1.03 this week.
I will look into shipset problem, probably another thing I broken.
Today fixed error with loading DWUR and incorrect parsing of scaling and BaconSettings.txt.
Sound of explosion working but lasers and other looks like not. Tomorrow will look into where the problem is.
I have a lot of ideas but I don't want to write an essay of modifications I'd like to see. I'll just throw a few things out here and there and see if one sticks. Totally up to you.
1. I wish damage control could fix warp drives first. Sometimes they do, most times they don't.
2. If the research and intel centers could give a small bonus to research or spying for each building built I think they would be more useful.

1.I think component repair order is same as component order in ship design. Will look into it, I already want to add some QoL features to ship design window.
2.Need to look at code, bonus formulas and think about possible ways to implement this idea. Pirate bonus on research already massive and adding more could be game breaking.
There is probably some QoL features in DW2 that I can add to DW:U, will look at some gameplay videos.
Version 1.03 https://shorturl.at/bzJ49
In-game hotkeys
Fixed image errors in history window
Fixed MiningShip using GasMiningShip image (BaconMod)
Construction ship queue editor
Some text position fixed in design window
Fixed BaconMod ignoring float value settings in BaconSettings.txt in case when current windows decimal separator is not dot (BaconMod)
Fixed sound bug
UPS counter
FYI Installed Expansion Mod 1.03. My weapons fire doesn't seem to be playing either. Explosions, music and other effects are good, but my weapons don't make sounds.
Installing ExpansionMod to vanilla game installation and running through the tutorials gives the error below. It's not always from the same tutorial so must be about game state initialization. I could start a normal game successfully but did not try 7 game starts in a row (like tutorials).
