  This update includes the following improvements:

- Improved activation performance for the dynamic cube mapping system for planetary water (eliminating the 0.5-1 second pause on planetary descents).

- New loading mechanism applied to planet meshes and city meshes to better support systems with limited/restricted hard drive performance/functionality (ie file error 105).

- Fix for loading issue causing stored custom weapons in hangars to have removed stats.

- Updated collision system for planetary terrain to reduce overall memory use.

- Training mode can now be completed using profiles saved in other systems.

- Adjusted click ranges in configure controls menus.

- Improved lens flare masking for capital ships.
