Other Changes
* Added several more possible randomly-generated pilot names.

effect from playing on any beam at all which uses the same
sound effect.

* The type of colorblindness simulated can now be configured via
the Options menu rather than having to edit the shader file.
* Changed TC display to be relative instead of absolute.
* Energy regeneration is now simply linear, just like shield,

give very large rewards.

* Teddy Bears From Space now guarantees a bit more for
its reward.
* Jumps that you only know one direction of are now displayed
in the starmap as if they were one-way jumps.
* Shrunk the blinker on selected pilot to its original size.

on top of or extremely close to planets or jump points.
* Modernized the way the position of the Shipwrecked August
is determined.
* Renamed the "Defaults" button in the Input tab of the Options
menu to "Presets".
