• Will be a new subsidiary type that will incorporate Real Estate, Retail, Passenger Services, Tourism and several other related items like airlines, cruiselines, resorts, hotels and more.

PMC

• Bug #94 Fixed outstanding issue with being able to generate new living quarters, where a charge was occurring but nothing was being built.

Resource Acquisition

• Finally hunted down the culprit causing some people's drill & FPSO ships to idle during drilling or extraction. The bug had to do with people who also had logistics ships in their company, and were using the 'Next Ship' function.
