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.
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.
The Barossa wreck infocard mentioned that it was carrying Niobium. In reality though it wasn't carrying anything cargo-wise at all... So 20 Niobium has been added to its cargo hold.
According to Freelancer's shooting script, Trent should have been approached by a Rheinland Freighter after undocking from New Berlin, while in-game it's actually a Rheinland Light Fighter. Furthermore, when you approach the Frankfurt gate, Fischer mentions he's a Daummann Freighter that's shipping supplies to Holstein. Therefore, his faction has been changed to Daumann and some construction machinery has been added to his cargo hold.
Adding this effect was deemed to be impossible without crashing while playing on vanilla servers. However, a different approach has been taken by replacing existing unused select_equip.ini entries. As long as no new ones are added, crashes on vanilla servers won't occur.
The old mat file for some reason specified different overlay colors for the Armored Transport. All textures from the mat files have been repacked in the vanilla mat files so they all use the original colors.
In the story, the Tekagi Transport strike force mentions the Transport cargo containing gold, diamonds, and thousands of articacts. However, the diamonds were missing in the cargo hold. It also only contains 1.000 artifacts, not thousands. The cargo hold has been edited so it matches what has been said by the strike force.
The transparent parts on the inside looked a bit weird in space, as if some areas weren't transparent at all. This has been fixed by completely deleting any colors in the transparent parts.
