I had forgotten to mention about sonar resources being updated, it is now added
SonarPlugin Updated (v15.751.0.1) Relays would appear on multiple instances while in Local mode Rare occurrence in local mode as tables are read before noticing the instance change. Logic has been changed to make sure location information is always read first. Hopefully this is fixed starting this release. FATE relays would occur multiple times in Local mode Due to how the game handle fates, Sonar was reading partially uninitialized fate information. This is fixed in this release. Log Spam during maintenance / connectivity problems Connectivity problem stack traces are now rate limited to once a minute and only after the 3rd try during connectivity problems, which includes when the server is down for maintenance. Performance Improvements Minor performance improvements in the form of reduced overhead. Sonar Resources Updated New cosmic zone and progression fates are covered Update Availability This update will be available once the following PR has been merged: (edited)
