The `rumble_ci_h_fighter` rumble sound ended up being too repetitive as the sound is only 2 seconds instead of the regular 5 seconds. Because of this, it wasn't that nice to listen to for long periods of time.
After the first bartender cutscene, there would be a small chance that a rumor would be given about Trent signing on to work with Juni. However, this would be before you even had the chance to talk to her. Now the rumor will only be told after the first mission has been accepted, which chronologically makes the most sense.
In all other systems, there is 1000 units distance from entering the sun atmosphere to the death zone. While the autopilot will avoid the death zone anyway when trying to avoid the atmosphere, the inconsistency is also not really necessary.
2Mil damage is normal only for planet death zones. The naming scheme for this sun death zone is the most unusual in all systems but I'm not changing it here since it doesn't matter much.
* Iw02 sun death zone fixes
Added large atmosphere range (death zone radius +3000) but left the death zone radius itself untouched, despite being unusually small. This might cause missions to spawn inside the sun atmosphere due to vignettes that overlap even with the sun itself, but should not have any critical effects on gameplay beyond that. Death zone damage raised to ordinary amount.
* Iw01 sun death zone fixes
Added atmosphere range with death zone radius +1000 (consistent with most stars) and 6000 is a death zone radius for 1000-radius star models elsewhere, which works in the geometry of Iw01 just fine, so I'm leaving that unchanged. Only increased the death zone's damage to the normal amount for sun death zones
Removed unnecessary and unused entries. Also updated GTDTL_128.TGA and ET.TGA so both images have a more realistic looking metal texture for the black and yellow stripes.
The trader position is the same as for equipment dealer in the ku_07_deck THN.
The player for the shipdealer version was however on the wrong spot.
This version puts the player just where it is for the equip dealer to fix it.
This file is not used by any vanilla bases.
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.
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.
