Fixes

9 changes
Fixed Paused or scheduled realms can be joined and planned in before ticks start. #
Fixed The squad screen scrolls correctly again. #
Fixed Refreshing the page no longer randomly logs you out or shows an error. #
Fixed Recalling a squad immediately after launching now brings it home immediately. #
Fixed Clicking an alliance squad that launched that tick no longer freezes the game. #
Fixed Colony size updates live on the map as population grows. #
Fixed Tiles with your squads and allied squads now show your color correctly. #
Fixed Radar and satellite scan rings now detect exactly the area the circle shows on the map. On wide maps, the covered area no longer drifts away from the ring you see. #
Fixed Scans no longer count squads that have already left the target, so the defenses in a scan report match what is actually stationed there. #

Grab the Founder Pack, try a private realm, save a squad template, and tell me if something feels off.
