Based on feedback, planetary cloak has been updated to provide more 'protection' for planets against players of varying scan levels.
Prior to this change, if the ship had a higher scan rating than the planet's cloak, its chances of being found were the same as other planets.

While it is still not possible for ships to find planets that have cloaking higher than their scan rating, there is now an additional roll that is
done to determine whether a ship will be successful in scanning a planet that has some cloaking at all.

This means that all planets with cloaking have a chance to 'block' a scan against any other ship. This chance will eventually approach 0% as the planet's cloak is closer to the ship's scan, where after that it cannot be detected by that ship at all.

Multi-player NPC enemies now have an enhanced 'Combat Log':

* The Combat Log will show a list of all players who have damaged the NPC, their total damage, and total % of enemy damage. This list is sorted by highest damage first.

* Players who have done enough damage to guarantee a reward will now see a 'lock' icon next to their name.

Standard enemies will still show the existing combat log (list of all single attacks).

Shields now recharge at a rate of 2% of your total shield capacity (or 1, if greater) per 'tick', instead of just 1 per tick.
This makes shields a great option even for higher Rank players.

Mousing over the Energy or Shield name on your stat bar will show the 'points per hour' charge rate.

In order to remove confusion over research point spending, the 'Points Remaining' number has been replaced with
a progress bar when selecting a research option. The tutorial text also includes a slight adjustment to underscore
that points can be spent at any time.

An offer-for-points option is now available in the Galaxy Points redemption area as an alternative way to receive Galaxy Points.
Your points will typically arrive a few minutes after completing an offer.
