openFA 0.525.2 dev

New features

• macOS / Apple Silicon - A new ARM64 nightly package for Apple Silicon Macs.

Gameplay and UI fixes

• Space Dock construction - Building a Space Dock through the Command Centre no longer requires a ground-based Ship Yard or incorrectly fails when ship storage is full. Also fixes completion-time display and navigation back to the Command Centre.
• Asteroid reconnaissance - The presence of your ships, including those in orbit, now allows you to inspect the surface of foreign and uncolonised asteroids.
• Strategic map [#6] - Double-clicking an asteroid opens its surface view without interfering with target selection or fleet controls.
• Construction menu [#7] - Right-clicking after selecting a building switches to surface placement mode instead of losing the selection.
• Ship construction - Corrected overflow handling in production cost calculations, preventing crashes such as those triggered by instant Space Dock construction.
• Missile Control - The screen now closes and clears stale launch selections when a launch order is rejected because the source asteroid has changed ownership.
