Lighting in beta 6 and other bugs

Yups that's fast

 

But it was something I already noticed in the footage I saw..

 

Although I'm sure HDR lighting will have lots of advantages in the battle viewer, it has negative side effects on other screens (if they are connected and I'm not concluding things which aren't true)

 

Ship designer screen: too dark, missing out the details now

Ideology screen: too bright! Almost hurts the eyes

Fraction coulour: I created this race in beta 5.1 never had any problem there, but using this custom race in beta 6 results in an incredible dark purple which is hard to see against the background, could also have something to do with the ship colours I'm using black/white

Constructor influence sphere marking: There is an outline marking the influence sphere of a constructor, but also this fine (I guess red) line is barely visible

 

Other bugs:

* The stupid save bug is still in unfortunately: saving a game it gets a ~ in front which makes it a corrupted save, only work around at this moment is again pressing save, and editing the ~ away manually.

* Purchasing cost: The amount required to purchase a ship in your ship yard is not accurate; it should diminish every turn you get closer to completion, instead it keeps displaying the standard amount required without any turns completed.
