The new capital explosion effects have been removed because they looked too dense when stacked. Moreover, it still hasn't been possible to fix the cutoff issue with these effects. Feel free to re-add them once it is possible to fix this.
Removed the interface and ambient sound checkboxes from the audio options because the game automatically updates them. With the checkboxes the interface and ambient sounds could only be set to off or max volume. Additionally, the default volume for all sounds has been lowered to 50 because 100 is too loud.
In the base game and JFLP, this entry is missing. Adding it enabled players to see the field from a far away distance instead of it just "popping" in when flying towards FP10.
The Harris exclusion zone is so big that you cannot see the
asteroid billboards anymore at the planet.
To still show that it is entirely surrounded, an asteroid
band as done at other places in the game gives the impression.
Per the #122 issue, this is a different take on the engine sounds. Some changes match up types and a few others are personal taste that might make sense lore wise i.e. the Anubis having Liberty cruise effects. Open for critique.

There is a dummy freeflight sound in nnvoice.utf, which has been added by JFLP. A proper audio file for this entry was already in nnvoice.utf, just not used. This one is now used in place of the dummy sound.
JFLP's patch notes mentioned adding a dummy entry for anomaly_detected to fix a warning. In the FL Beta audio files however, there is a proper audio entry that says 'anomaly detected', which sounds just fine. This has been added to nnvoice.utf. Also the entry for it in voices_recognizable.ini has been given an attenuation value to reduce the loudness and a duration.
Fix the missing air traffic controller from Leipzig Station in Dresden. The base should now hail NPC patrols, grant/deny dock requests, and wish your character "Good luck out there".
Both mission 1 and 13 use a few voice dialogs that weren't registered as 'voice' files in story_sounds.ini. As a result, if you were to play those missions with the sound effects disabled, you wouldn't be able to hear them. The changes in this commit should rectify that.
B-dtl1-2.tga was upside down in br-capships.mat, which caused the Bretonia Battleship to look a bit strange sometimes. Additionally, both textures in br_turrets.mat were generated without additional mips. Both issues have been fixed in this commit.
During Mission 9 you often hear the Dragon wings and Ozu saying that the reinforcements are being shot to pieces. Though in the mission script these ships are instructed to self-destruct after being shot only five times, which is a bit strange. This means the reinforcements die long before they actually should be dying. In this commit this number has been increased to 20. In my opinion these lines can be removed altogether but that can always be done later.
In the officially released Freelancer ku_battleship_dmg_rear.3db is incorrect as it's a copy of another model. In the Beta however, the ku_battleship_dmg_rear.3db file is the correct one. So it has been copied over.
Planet Kitadake's infocard mentions that it has a ring system, while the planet itself doesn't actually have one. This commit adds the Weisser ring to it. In addition to this, the Planet Aso ring type has been changed to Aso, because the Ice ring type doesn't have any cloud effects. The Ice ring was added in JFLP and apart from this, this ring type was never used in vanilla anyway.
