    • Fixed an issue where 'Look At' with the tactical camera could zoom in too close on an object.
    • Fixed an issue where using 'Look At' twice on the same object in tactical camera would not work properly.
    • Fixed an issue where zooming out with the free tactical camera as far as possible would move the camera unexpectedly.

    • Importing a fitting from clipboard will now allow including ice products like Strontium Clathrates.
    • The fitting management tool will no longer unfit subsystems from T3 cruisers, without being able to replace them with new subsystems. This was leading to missing subsystems and broken ships.
