Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue causing players to take damage when using certain ship seats
Fixed – Actor Feature / Network – Players in a given instance may experience a response latency of up to dozens of seconds for interactions
Fixed – Mission Content / AI – Bounty Missions – Streaming accompanying AI in and out again after main target has been neutralized makes them idle
Fixed – Area18 – Locations / Art – The ships traveling along the highway in Area18 point upright as they move
Fixed – Salvage – Spawn Rates of Salvagable entities is substantially higher than intended (Should hopefully no longer see areas with many duplicated salvage ships in a cluster)
