Patch 1.5.3b file

Note: This patch requires version 1.5.2 installed (or an installation of SOTS CE).

Some of the key features include:

• AI Optimizations – Hiver turn processing much faster on low-end machines
• Command point bonus in combat bug fixed – players were getting less ships than they should, but players with the same number of ships got the same bonus (very rare bug)
• Players can now properly join multiplayer through command line for use with Xfire
• Corrections and improvements to auto resolved combat, particularly for certain random encounters and a few overlooked weapons
