A new version 2.708 update is now available for Evochron Mercenary, StarWraith 3D Games' space combat and trade simulation. As always, the new version also serves as an updated demo. Here's word on what's new:

• Faster pre-generated planet terrain building system added.
• Systems with intermittent read/write hard drive reliability problems could encounter an error 105 during loading at around 30-50%, new loading processes implemented to reduce error potential on such systems by generating more content in memory.
• Minor issue with message log shadow resulting in mismatched alignment when no lines of data are contained fixed.
• Using station detonators in single player could result in the flight timer being reset, now fixed.
• Terrain walker HUD elements could remain behind after being destroyed, now fixed.
• Excessive price variations for commodities sold from planet cities fixed.
• Several minor bug fixes.
