• Fix crash with terrain evaluation for landing
• Added new graphics option for bottom end video cards to better handle the requirements for Horizons

• Optimnisations for environment map capture
• Load shaders earlier again on AMD to reduce stalls on loading sequence
• Swap order of long/lat on the orbital HUD: the order is now; latitude, longitude, gravity
• Altered the null chance for POIs such that there is a nice fall off between civilised and unexplored space
• Fix POI's that were visible form ship in the form of a disk but were not spawning when in the ship
• Reduced damage boots from synthesis
• Fixed multi-cannon basic synthesis so that it only gives 50% ammo refill
