[FIXES]

• Fixed an issue where weapons did not shoot in few cases, notably missiles
• Fixed an issue where some ships didn't display animations anymore
• Fixed the display of flak particles when squadrons are getting shot at
• Fixed a case where saving caused errors. An error message is now displayed with details in case this happens
• Fixed infinite turn on outpost actions in a very rare case
• Fixed  "Dust to Dust - Part 3": quest no longer fails if the pirate fleet is  not destroyed in the first turn after the quest is triggered

[AI]

• Fixed an issue where the AI was not answering battle in some specific conditions
• Fixed an issue on Cravers quest mission "Of Our Own Brood - Part 1" where the fleet spawned wouldn't move, preventing completion

NOTE:  The fix for empires suddenly crumbling through major bailiff issues is  still undergoing testing, and will be available in an upcoming update.

This patch has been released and is now live for everyone:
