A few corrections:

Almost all items are now stackable - Black box reports (for obvious reasons), warp devices and a few others are still not stackable.

The wide firing points have not been fixed in general, but the fix is coming. Code for specifying the firing (turret) points on individual ships is currently on test, although we have not yet made the specifications for most ships. Check out the Earthforce Dreadnought, the Pax Astronomica, the Dark Freighter and the tech 20 battle thatch :twisted: to see some of the new possibilities.

Finally, I don't think the rapid-sell crash bug ever made it to live. :P
