Final Theory v1.2

Game engine updated.
We've updated the game engine to get even better game performance and stability.
While technical changes might not be that interesting to the majority of players, we do want to prioritize performance and stability to make sure every player has a great experience when playing the game.

Windowed mode is now supported.
If you're currently using the workaround, you can revert those changes and use the in-game windowed mode instead.

Phase Drives added. (Recommended for experienced players.)
You can now enable instant ship movement in the game options.
If enabled you'll see the phase drive listed in ship features of all small ships.
Ships need to move more than one hex for the drives to kick in.

Ability Changes:
Shield Hardening and Armor Hardening.
The size of the missile batteries have been reduced to shorten the animation a bit.
The damage reduction effect has changed from 60% to 50%.

Shield Booster Missiles.
The size of the missile batteries have been reduced to shorten the animation a bit.
The amount of shield boosting remains the same.

QOL Additions:
The mouse cursor is normally hidden during some parts of the game, but this feels unnatural in windowed mode. The game now doesn't hide the mouse cursor at all when playing in windowed mode.
Fixed a problem where the save games window could get stuck if the game encountered files it couldn't read. Typically due to tampering with save games ;D

Additional Changes:
Enemy freighters are now visible on the map. This adds a bit more information about where to strike the enemy.

Bug Fixes:
Fixed a bug where Defence Turrets sometimes stopped firing and charge times would become irregular.
Fixed a bug that was causing some strange behavior when running the game without VSync.
Fixed a bug where the AI could sometimes get stuck during combat.
Fixed a bug where you could fire directional weapons through other ships under certain conditions.
