Balance

Ships now properly stop attacking when the ship they were attacking is salvage captured.
Fixed some values for Homeworld 1 cloaking ability to restore them to the same timing they were prior to the last patch.
Made the hyperspace time to exit honor the update rate of the game simulation. Ships should no longer over/under shoot their destinations.
Guard logic fixed so that ships that guard other ships now properly move and guard as one would expect.
Updated the guard command to use the tactics of the ship to determine how it behaves while guarding.
Fixed an issue where ships assigned to guard could stop if ship they were guarding engaged in combat when the guarding ship was outside of guard range.
Set build time of the first Taiidan Research Ship back to what was originally shipped (60s)

Misc

Fixed an issue where certain key binding descriptions were read incorrectly from the player config file which caused some keybindings to fail to load.
Fixed a save game issue that would happen if some ships used by mission scripting were destroyed before a game was saved.
Fixed an issue where creating a profile after one exists, then deleting that profile and creating it again would cause a crash.
Fixed mouse blocking issue when player clicked near timer.
Various fixes for crashes found in Steam crash dumps.
UI speed optimizations
Fixed clipped/hidden "show all" build menu items.

Modders
Text display Top/Bottom alignment inversion issue fixed
