Hotfixes
Hotfixes are small patches meant to fix bugs and balancing.

Hotfix 1
29th October, 2018 Note: We are aware that this bug was used by some players to repeat a certain mission, but we have no metrics on how much is was used. This was never the intention and have therefore been fixed.
 * Fixed a crash related to the terrain. Update 18.5 introduced several memory optimizations and this one went a little too far.
 * Fixed the M button so the Mission Map shows the correct available missions after returning to the Spacerig.
