+==== Latest Update ====
+===== Latest Public Release =====
+**Version 0.42** — Released August 5, 2026
+Update 0.42 introduces a three-layer protection system on ships and stations, procedural NPC loadouts, armed sector stations, and a unified red enemy indicator in sector map and minimap.
+Highlights:
+  * **Three-layer protection system** — Damage now hits shield, then armor, then hull on ships and stations
+  * **Procedural NPC loadouts** — Hand-crafted NPC ship prefabs replaced by hull templates plus danger-level-driven, energetically valid slot loadouts
+  * **Armed sector stations** — The 11 normal and 7 exotic inhabited sector stations become independent combat prefabs that fight pirates autonomously
+  * **Unified red enemy indicator** — Hostile ships and stations are marked in red across object list, minimap, sector map, and world name
