In devlog 73 for Astrox Imperium, I cover the new drag and resize panel for the mercs cargo bay. This will make this much easier when dragging items around between the cargo bay, refinery, fabricator and storage bays of the station.

I have also fixed a number of bugs. The main ones dealing with the pilot import, and the economic buy and sell orders for the station event generator. After some careful poking about, I was able to uncover the root of the issue, and not only did I fix it, but I improved the mechanic as a whole. The margins for the buy and sell orders should better reflect the sandbox settings.

I have also addressed a few issues dealing with the special item drops that raiders can leave behind. The frequency of the drops will increase a bit with the new base calculations. This will mostly effect the lower level rare items. the epic and artifact items will not be affected as much.

The attributes of the special generated items have also been adjusted. There was a bug that was preventing the proper number of attributes being modified. This has been fixed, and the epic and artifact items are quite powerful now. This will not effect any existing special items you may have already acquired.

It will be about 3 weeks until the next update / video. I will be moving my house and family from Atlanta Georgia to the West Virginia mountains. I will be sure to document the adventure for future videos.
