This is a pretty big update.
Full Changelog from Version 0.025 to Version 0.026
First of all, missiles are now implemented and functional. At this time, only "dumb missiles" (which only fly straight) are available, but the architecture for any other kind of missile is already there. Missiles are controlled by the server, so hits will be absolutely fair, and cheating is out of the question.
The second big update about this Version is a completely new look and feel of the in game panels. Special Thanks to Andrewian from http://www.binarychaos.net for giving me the idea and inspiration for the new look. It took me some time to get the hang the design stuff, but I'm quite happy with the result. All Menus are now reachable within one panel via tabs.
I also greatly improved the weapon assignment dialog, which now shows all data of the selected weapon (damage, reload time, etc.).
Furthermore, I added a new Navigation panel, which shows an overview over every object in range and how far it currently is from the player. You can also select your target in this panel.
Full Changelog from Version 0.025 to Version 0.026
[INTERNAL][EXTENSIBILITY] refined element managing structure for easier management of usable elements like weapons, beams, thrusters and missiles

[GENERAL][BUG] Fixed bug that would damage a killed and respawned player (occurred only when killed by getting run over)
