Another problem with jetisonning is that it's only 1 ton by 1 ton, probably because without cheating none really can play that game for long enough to afford the bigger ships (considering how completely overpriced those ships are in comparison to how much you get from missions rewards) so no dev thought about how painful it can be.

Because if you manage to afford one of those ships with 3000t cargo, just imagine the pain of having to jetison 3000t of radioactive, 1 by 1.

I think a good idea would be to have a Jetison All button too (and probably a Jetison 25% / 50% / 75% buttons too for people that still want to keep some).

jettison all but perhaps it could be in 10 tonne containers instead, and coding to allow larger ships to pick up jumbo cargo containers

I keep getting a crash to desktop whenever I jump in to a binary star system(luyten for example). It happens whenever I rotate to look at a star. I suspect its a gfx issue by I have an intel hd4000 so I dont know

I managed to compile it using MSYS2 which allowed me to use software rendering and hardware rendering(Intel HD4000) which proved to me that the CTD was to do with my gfx card

I hope they'll find a way to fix completely the autopilot to prevent it to directly crash your ship on a planet as it happens from time to time (very frustrating when you're on a long range mission and you have to make a couple of stop to refuel and the autopilot is not 100% trustable)

I noticed that the Pioneer automatic build is working again on appveyor
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/build/artifacts

could be interesting for those that want to try much more recent build than the last version from february on the Pioneer website to see the new features and bugfixes (though no idea if the current 3 days old build at the time i write is actually working)

I think additional work is being done on it as well in the last few days and plans for some major overhauls in coming weeks

Looks like they did some changes to the appveyor stuff , the latest build is now there :
https://ci.appveyor.com/project/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/build/job/0w4x2dcn8d05ref6/artifacts

Not sure if the url will be definitive for future incoming builds.
