* Classes of ships determine the ship's starting Energy and how Captain abilities are assigned:

* Frigates -- 15 energy -- Pawns and other small ships.
* Capital -- 20 energy -- Knights, Bishops, Rooks and other medium ships.
* Command -- 25 energy -- King and other large ships.

Captains

* Eam's long backward movement fixed to cost 15 energy instead of 10. And fixed bug not allowing movements when energy was too low (but still had enough to move with).
* Changes based on new Ship Classes:

* Ko's ability adjusted to affect Frigates only.
* Adira's long range attack has increased in power from 35 to 40 and has been limited to Capital ships only.
* Xiel's powerful side attacks have been limited to Frigates.
* Godwin's ability adjusted to affect Capital ships only.
* Fenton's ability adjusted to affect Frigates only.
* Eam's ability adjusted to affect Frigates only.
* Idichi's ability adjusted to affect Frigates only.

Sectors

* Open Space 1 & 2: More Resources, rearranged for more interesting game choices.
* Open Space 3 & 4: Fixed Resources & added more, rearranged for more interesting game choices.
* King's Forward 2: Rearranged a bit for more variability in games.
* King's Forward 4: Fixed Resources. One's acting strange though.
* Lost Rooks 1: Rearranged to allow for more varied battles while being a bit easier overall.
* Lost Rooks 2: Rearranged to create better choices for the early game.
* Lost Rooks 3: Removed back Pawn & Rook, replaced with Knight. Rearranged a few places for more interesting initial choices.
* Ascension 3: Changed to work better for Bishops.
* Ascension 4: Increased difficulty and changed to better keep in line with the other Ascensions.

Interface

* Added Ship Class information.
* Rearranged to be more intuitive.

Game Menu

* Rebuilt to be easier to work with and cut down on CPU cost.
* Added "Overview" section to Menu, dealing with captains & current sector. More added later.
* Added "Options" section. More options added later.
* Restart options to Quit section:
* "Restart": Restarts current game with all the same settings.
* "Random Captain": Restarts in same Sector with different Captains.
* "Random Sector": Restarts with same Captains in a new Sector (non-Scenario).
* "Random Everything": Random Captains in random Sector.

Game Help (reworking soon)

* Added "Resources" section.

Main Menu

* Adjusted Fullscreen button to work more intuitively (and be less glitch-happy) based on platform.

* (Web) Fullscreen now adapts to the user's current desktop resolution.
* (PC & Mac) Fullscreen switches into and out of the currently set resolution.

* Updated help with Ship Classes.

FX

* Adjust some of the font elements to be easier to read.
* More texture & color changes to better work for the color blind and for better clarity in general (suggestions encouraged).
* Added "space dust" effects to destroyed debris.
* Added effects to resources.

Etc.

* Ironed out some bugs.
* Some other things I probably forgot to add at the time.
* Released the first version of the Kaizer Instruction Manual ^_^
