Star Traders: Frontiers Update #109 and Hotfixes

[fallen]

Thanks to all of the captains who helped us make last weeks sale a success and welcome to the thousands of new captains who have stepped on the bridge and are now sailing the Frontier!

Last week, we made the decision to avoid posting news items for updates that would have bumped the big Update 108: Major Milestone RELIC off the top of the list. With the sale now concluded, we're publishing a final hotfix for Salvage operations as well as the following news item that is a roll-up of all the updates and hotfixes we did during the last week.
