Beam Free All by Default mission flag
It is now possible to beam free all ships by default through the mission specs editor. When using this, remember to beam-lock any ships not supposed to use beams.
Mission Loading Screen
You can now set an image to be used as a loading screen in the mission specs editor, which will then be shown while the mission loads. There are two fields, one for a 1024*768 image and one for a 640*480 image, both should be supplied to cover both standard resolutions.
