Well, the title says it all. What does 1.0.2 do? A friend of mine has EVO 1.0.2, and I know a few features, like smoke from the missiles and another thing with the UE and Voinian fighter. What else does EVO 1.0.2 do and change?

The Monty Python is trickier (but still possible) against certain ships, there's smoke trails, bug fixes, turrets now take up a gun slot in addition to a turret slot, mines are illegal (mwahahaha), and some other stuff that I can't remember right now. Read the version history (although it sometimes doesn't fully reveal what's new ;)).

The big ones are 1) all guided weapons are now useless, since everyone except you has a killer ECM. 2) Computer-controlled fighters are a lot more aggressive and actually shoot their opponents.
Basically, 1.0.2 makes combat a lot more fun.
so they made it harder....?
The AI does its job...Nearly all kinds of guided missiles hit their target, the monty python technique is harder (you need a really fast ship) and there is many other changes I dont remember...
