Fixed:
-------
- 0005758: Players would like to hide reference Points
- 0006090: Tu-16s taking up runway access points
- 0005973: AS-2 drone shoots down AIM-54
- 0006190: Accessing the Side ROE and doing nothing changes the unit opportunity fire ROE to yes
- 0004668: SAM Site isn't grabbing weapons from attached ammo dump
- 0004920: Can't transfer ammo from land mag to SAM unit
- 0004050: Issue with Mission Activate Event - We disabled the ability ot set a mission time in game

* New game option: Reference point visibility. Three settings are available: Normal (as currently), Small (half-size and grayed out), and Don't Show. This significantly declutters the map in cases of dense ref-point concentrations.

* You can now set the activation time for a mission through the mission editor.

Fixed:
---------
- 0006207: Mission Editior Dialog: Set Activation Time procedure set the mission inactive for the player
- 0006206: [471] Mission Editor Time Activation Text Color

* The map-cursor databox (a.k.a. Black Box of Data) can now be configured to appear beside the cursor (as currently), appear on the bottom of the map, or not appear at all. This is set by Game -> Game Options -> "Map Cursor Databox", and is a global (not scenario/side-level), persisting setting.

* Delay-timed missions are displayed in the mission editor with a "[D]" prefix.

* Refined acoustic reverberation modifiers for sonars. Now the sonar's tech level (more modern sets are affected less) and operating frequency (lower-frequency sets suffer the most) also play a part in determining degradation due to reverberation from shallow water or under-ice conditions.

* Strategic submarines now actively evade not only weapon contacts but also potential sub & surface threats in proximity.

* The map-cursor databox (a.k.a. Black Box of Data) can now be configured to appear beside the cursor (as currently), appear on the bottom of the map, or not appear at all. This is set by Game -> Game Options -> "Map Cursor Databox", and is a global (not scenario/side-level), persisting setting.

Wow! Was not expecting this! 1.02 is looking to be amazing!

What's a Delayed Timed Mission? I've linked mission activation to events, including time events, in the past. How do D-T Missions differ?

With delayed-time missions you no longer need to use the EE to time-trigger a mission activation, so you can also set delayed missions as a player now.

I remember that request now. Thanks, D!

What's the constantly changing large integer that appears in the window-bottom black box?

That's classified.

Ohhhh...security clearance intrigue! I like it![:D]

By looking at the Black Box you will have changed whats actually in the box. Until you open the box you won't know what's in it, or whether you affected its state of existence.
If the developers were to tell you it would involve a cat of some sort and probably something quantum.

It's either bitcoin mining or skynet. WAKE UP PEOPLE! "Puts on tinfoil hat."

I'm just going out on a limb here and guessing it's an RND value. Or the constantly changing PIN for Area 51's front gate.

Just curious...are we going to get further updates on what build is...um...being built, and what's being done? Or are we still on 480? Just curious.
