1. You can now assign fixed shipbuilding focuses to custom AI empires.
- If you force-spawn a custom empire whose primary species has one of the shipbuilding focus traits, that empire will use the corresponding shipbuilding focus.
- These traits are automatically removed at the start of the game.
- Of course, they have no effect on player empires.

2. All shipbuilding focus edicts are now visible at the beginning of the game.
- Their research requirements remain unchanged and can be viewed via in-game tooltips.

3. Minelayer Stations can now only be constructed near stars and are limited to one per system.
- AI empires will try to use fewer resources when building Minelayer Stations.
- If mines are left behind without a station after a battle, they will be destroyed soon.

4. Tooltips for marine ships now include information about the ground forces they deploy.

5. Improved compatibility with the newly updated ACOT.

This update is savegame-compatible, but the locations of existing Minelayer Stations will not be changed.
