 ===== Latest Public Release =====
-**Version 0.41.1** — Released July 29, 2026
+**Version 0.42** — Released August 5, 2026
-A small maintenance build with three targeted fixes for a calmer sector-loading experience and a more consistent weapon feel.
+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:
-  * **Precision laser visual tweak** — The blue beam of the precision laser is now visually a bit slimmer
+  * **Three-layer protection system** — Damage now hits shield, then armor, then hull on ships and stations
-  * **Home Sector loading screen flicker** — The sector loading screen UI no longer flickers on scene change in the Home Sector
+  * **Procedural NPC loadouts** — Hand-crafted NPC ship prefabs replaced by hull templates plus danger-level-driven, energetically valid slot loadouts
-  * **Shipyard maneuvering thrusters** — The maneuvering thrusters no longer start automatically in the shipyard
+  * **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
