 ==== Latest Update ====
 ===== Latest Public Release =====
-**Version 0.36** — Released June 27, 2026
+**Version 0.42** — Released August 5, 2026
-This update improves the way ships behave in space. NPC ships now react more dynamically, pirates use more varied behavior patterns, and civilian ships move and respond in a more natural way. The update also adds a new hyperspace arrival effect and expands repair options during exploration.
+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:
-  * **Smarter NPC behavior** — pirates and civilian ships react more naturally, NPCs can flee into hyperspace when heavily damaged
+  * **Three-layer protection system** — Damage now hits shield, then armor, then hull on ships and stations
-  * **Sector repairs** — repair your ship at space stations inside sectors (3× the cost of your home station)
+  * **Procedural NPC loadouts** — Hand-crafted NPC ship prefabs replaced by hull templates plus danger-level-driven, energetically valid slot loadouts
-  * **Hyperspace arrival effect** — new visual effect when ships jump out of hyperspace
+  * **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

-===== Latest Beta Build =====
-**Version 0.37-b1 (beta)** — Released June 28, 2026
-This update refreshes the Streamworks integration under the hood and renames the **Build ship** action to **Buy ship** to better reflect what it does. The window has been redesigned with more space and a clearer layout for faster ship comparison and purchasing.
-Highlights:
-  * **Streamworks integration updated** — improved stability and performance behind the scenes
-  * **Build ship → Buy ship** — renamed to better reflect the action; the window got more room and a cleaner layout
-  * **Beta warning** — saves from v0.37-b1 may not be backward compatible; back up your save before testing
-**Beta:** This build is available on the beta branch and may change before the public release.
