v0.7.1 Supporter Release

Time for our mid-month update, and this time we've got the first in-game appearance of one of our main antagonist characters! As with doing anything for the first time, there were a few mechanical issues to sort out - in particular, dealing with the fact that these characters are gender-flexible yet gender preferences can be changed at any time. In the end I went with a system for locking a character in to the preferences you have at the time you first encounter them, so heads up, make sure you have your preferences as you want them before proceeding with the storylines! There was also a lot of duty assignment work in this update, as well as some further updates to the crew promotion system. You can check out the details here, or the patch notes below:
