Its being asked all over the forum, but I'll ask here too. What will this mean for in-progress games? I'm sure it depends on the particular game and mod, but in general are these changes of the sort to really break things?"

I'd say almost all the time you can, in un-modded SE4. Some of the changes may require updating by mods, but it doesn't look like there were too many this time.

7. Fixed - AI will now use Master Computers on his ships correctly.

What does it mean? Equipping every ship with a MC "automatically" (we had this discussion some days ago) instead of bridge, CQ etc?
Won't have the time to test it for the next couple of days but I have to know...

Remember to keep a separate install of 1.67/1.78 handy for your PBW games, at least until they all upgrade.

Rexxx - yes, the AI will use MC on all ships as soon as they are available. It will not use B/LS/CQ then.

Mods will work perfectly fine. Upgraded games will work perfectly fine. The only difference is that mods will not use the new formations in 1.84 unless they are updated to do so. But, the unupdated mods will still work 100% ok.

Even if it only has MC I (4000 minerals, 40 kT) and it's building an escort which only requires 1500 minerals and 30 kT worth of control components?
