Re: Changelog
0.96.01—0.96.04 (22.09.2023)
- fix: The contract for the pirate hunt was missing one data.
- fix: The generic dialogue was missing one connection to the perception-triggered dialogue.

Re: Changelog
0.96.05—0.96.07 (23.09.2023)

- add: The cartridge capacity of the harpoon launcher class I is increased from 15 to 30
- add: The cartridge capacity of the harpoon launcher class II is increased from 30 to 40
- add: The new pirate encounter had a code that limited the game's communication with the server resulting in the game disconnections. This should be gone with this version.
- fix: The player's dialogue script array was not reset correctly causing the script from the previous dialogue to be executed in at least one case.

- fix: Clicking on an NPC portrait at sea is no longer an issue.

- fix: When calling the Repair & Refuel Station at sea, the requester window would crash the game (due to a mistake made by the recent Chip RAM optimization).
- fix: Taking another pirate hunt contract while a previous one was still pending and both were from different cities, would not be respected. Let's see if this fix solves this situation.
