 *Ship equipment now has a weight. In original Elite, you could load tons of equipment into your ship without losing cargo capacity. This is no longer true. Have a look at the following table to determine, how much precious cargo space each item will take:

 *Reworked the inventory screen. It will no longer show the available fuel and money (since this is duplicated from the status screen), but type and destination of any special cargo carried and the current ship capacity. The latter is displayed as follows:

 *Missiles do no longer destroy other ships on the first hit but cause severe damage (that is: a missile will kill one of the small ships but the bigger ones need several hits).

 *On worlds with tech level 8 and above, the Rent-A-Dock service is available. When in station range, you can request this service for a mere 25 Credits by pressing Ctrl-C. The station will establish a DockDirect connection and control your ship using its own docking computer devices. This is a nice feature and useful for ships that got damaged in combat. It may even be better to sell the docking computer, freeing one ton of cargo space and to use the Rent-A-Dock service instead. Note: This service is suspended during attack.

+*The extra cargo bay now causes a slowdown of your ship. Equipped with an extra cargo bay, it will now reach only ~65% of it's speed without the cargo bay. The cargo itself does not influence the maximum speed (as before). For missions, where you need the full power of your ship (special cargo delivery, bounty hunting), it is now advisable to sell the extra cargo bay.
