Error Report:
I went on the USA server and entered Oasis station in Pearl.
Switched to my starmaster and was going for some trading.
When leaving the hangar, energy didn't rise at all.
Died as soon as I left the dock?
Reloaded several times but ended up with the same results.
Are flying another profile back to known space now to try trading again.

Sounds like a profile/equipment issue that could occur on any build. So I'd be interested in testing with that profile, saved right before the frame swap. My guess is some equipment item was in a higher slot than the SM had capacity for.

I switched from Avenger to Starmaster and had already stored all items not needed for trading.
Fully loaded with FT:s
I don't have a save before the incident, sorry. Not to worry. I have backup profiles
in other locations.
I can send you the "broken" one if you want to look at it?

I have the latest version running without problems.
Question about fuel converters: were they not always possible to install from station hangars? Where else would one install them?
Anyway, so far no issues. Purrs like a kitten.

Previously, you had to transfer the converter to a cargo slot, then install it on the ship. Now you can transfer it directly from the hangar to the ship.

I got a copy of the Game for my son, and was trying to trade some cash between the 2 of us but was unable to transfer any funds!
Cargo was no problem!. Is there a certain time limit in seconds for cash transfers or did the transfer of cash been disallowed in the new ver. 1.828?
If so then the transfer of funds for the second person to Land on Earth contest prize of 5 billion credits will not be able to be transfered?

Also just to be sure, make sure both players have each other targeted before they each open the trade console and not a nearby AI ship.

Uhm.. What are the changes for swscreen.txt?

For the new swscreen.txt window options, simply add two more lines to the file with the X and Y screen position you want the game to render the window at. When the game detects these values in the files, it does the following:
1 - Sets the resolution to the value specified in the Options menu.
2 - Activates the reduced window mode taking it from being stretched to fill the screen down to the size selected in the Options menu.
3 - Positions the window at the X and Y values specified in the swscreen.txt file on lines 3 and 4.
So an example swscreen.txt file might look like this:
0
0
512
0
And this would display the game in a window scaled to the size of the selected resolution and placed on the screen at 512 X and 0 Y.
1 - Sets the resolution to the value specified in the Options menu.
2 - Activates the reduced window mode taking it from being stretched to fill the screen down to the size selected in the Options menu.
3 - Positions the window at the X and Y values specified in the swscreen.txt file on lines 3 and 4.
So an example swscreen.txt file might look like this:
0
0
512
0
And this would display the game in a window scaled to the size of the selected resolution and placed on the screen at 512 X and 0 Y.
