Version 0.6602
Notes
-Sorry for the delay.
-I was unable to replicate the Eldar crash but I re-wrote it anyways.

Fixed
-Bombardment menu now has a close button (Conversion Error)
-Scouts being created but have no location. (Source Error)
-Promotions to tacticals (My Error.)
-Some events causing crashes (These are tricky as I suspect some are conversion errors)
-Version number iteration (My Error)
	
Changes
-Increased the range required to find the eldar by 25% (300 to 400), increased the chance of finding them by 5% (now 10%).

New Cheats
recruit# = Created # of recruits with 20xp, that will be ready in one turn (No extra equipment)
eventg8 = "meet_eldar"
<big>'''Version 0.6601'''</big>
Version 0.6601 GMS2 Hotfix
***Fixed***
*-Artifacts can now be equipped (Conversion Error)
*-Ships that are purchased should now function correctly, included a fix on load in case one is bugged. (Source Error?)
*-Choosing random will now give you advantages and disadvantages (Source Error, incomplete content)

<big>'''Version 0.6600'''</big>
'''Notes'''
*-With the conversion to GMS2, I cannot guarantee stability.  I am only 90% confident nothing of note is broken.

'''Fixed'''
*-Crash caused by getting the STC bonus to vehicle accuracy ad then sending vehicles into combat.
*-Crash caused by a typo in obj_turn_end_Alarm_0 when Orks invaded.
*-Transfer showing empty boxes for unit roles company screen.
*-Ship/world names overlapping with armour in company screen.
*-Lost ships now return after a random amount of time (10*-100 turns).
*-Splintered ships on creation to now work as intended (I think it's being weird).
*-Changed the range of boarding to the max range on the parent ship.
*-Daemon binders no longer results in instant failure, instead it will take several encounters with the inquisition before they freak out.

'''Changes'''
*-Made it, so you always get loot after you clear a space hulk and added a small chance to get Tartaros armour. 
*-Added the option to decrypt saves in the options menu, BACK UP YOUR SAVES; if you break them, you are on your own.
*-Changed the fleet selection menu, selecting a category (de)selects all within, selecting names (de)selects as well.
	**--Selecting the background no longer selects all.
*-Changed how company screen logic works D
	**--DOUBLE CLICK has been disabled.
	**--Right-click selected all of the selected unit types.
	**--All multi-select options no longer inverse selection, but instead select all targeted, and if all are selected, deselects them.
	**--If none are selected, the group with the most units at a location will be selected.
*-Made planets random features (????) generate on creation, but also made more of on gen. (Will be adding more options at a later date.)
*-Added symbols on the planets when they have features of interest or require help. (! Coloured threats)
*-Activated "Cave Network" planetary feature, however temporarily make it equal to Ancient Ruins.
*-Assault a Necron tomb without a mission, land troops, end turn. (requires plasma bomb, still decent chance of failure)
*-Removed the need to have the chapter master present to control the fleet. (It's too buggy without control.)
*-Increased the chances of the tau spawning on gen from 33% to 66%.

'''Code Changes'''
*-Refactored unit selection and unit selection buttons on the company screen. 
*-Converted project from GMS 1.4 to GMS 2. 
*-Added proper documentation (Jsdoc) to some of the existing code.
*-Started converting dedicated object scripts into object functions.

'''Changes'''
* -Game no longer ends when your chapter master dies, the most experienced marine is automatically promoted. 
* -Changed ship loading to one company per frigate, including vehicles and 2 companies for battle barges. 
* -Overhauled promoting to be more in line with the lore, 1st = veterans, 2nd-5th = battle, 6-9th = support.

positions.
* -Increased the max number of promotion options that "can" be shown from 6 to 9. 
* -Randomized starting experince of all units. 
* -Change promotion experience to a single rational number "40", to which most ranks require a multiple of. 
** 	-Companies 6th-9th= 20 
** 	-Companies 2nd-5th= 40 
** 	-Company 1st= 80, Terminators= 100 
** 	-HQ Honor guard=120. 
** 	-HQ command positions= 200

* infreq = Toggle infinate requisition
* infseed = Toggle, gain 9999 geneseed.
