Changelog

0.12.11

• Fixed: abandoning ship no longer makes the Kraken let go. With nobody aboard for 5 seconds, it drags the ship under.

• If the whole crew dies, the Kraken still lets go and leaves the ship afloat.

0.12.10

• The Bone Ballista's bolt now flies to the crosshair, not beside it; the view stops where the bolt can still reach.
• The Bone Ballista's view no longer tilts past where its bolt can go, nor faster than the ballista.
• The Bone Ballista can be taken from anywhere its hover shows the use key; you step round behind it.
• Fixed: the ballista's aim no longer catches on its own frame when looking down.
