This video covers a number of tweaks and bug fixes for the latest build 98.

I have addressed the reports of the game crashing when using the fabricator, and in some cases the refinery. After spending some time with the code, I was able to rewrite the parts that were making excessive loops and instantiating new variables. The code is now running much smoother, and requires less CPU power to function. I have also added the ability to run the fabricator items while un-docked. As with the refinery, it will run slower that if you remain at the station while crafting items.

I made some major tweaks to the drone code, to remove the horrible bug that was effecting combat drones, and mining drones when harvesting large rocks. Drones energy will drain slower when in action, and they will recharge faster when docked with the parent ship. Drones will also use less energy from the ship when recharging.

More tweaks to the market economic systems, removing a number of exploits, fixing a few bugs when selling items, and addressing the multi-item sell code to match up perfectly with the individual item sales prices.
