Weapons will now use ballistics when set to do so.All ships have had a pass to improve flight dynamics and engagement behaviors.All ships have been rebalanced to work with formations.This is to ensure formations are as effective in combat as possible and so that the game performs at a reasonable speed. Formations have a unit cap depending on the ships and formation used.This is to more closely emulate HW1 and to make sure that ships perform as optimally as you would expect. Formations will break on combat into combat groups based on the ships that are part of the formation.Formations have been completely rewritten to better support HW1 formations.Campaign progression is still valid you just have to restart any missions you are currently on.

(With Balance tweaks to account for this) Frigates and Corvettes now attack more consistently.Fixed exploit where hyperspacing mothership would allow autocapture of ships already headed toward it.Fixed a crash when a missing mad state was called.Homeworld 2 classic properly responds to -locale command line.Resolved a memory fragmentation error which could lead to crashes.
