v2.6.4 for KSP 1.12.x

What's Changed

• First Crewed Orbital Flight: Update contract description for P&LC by @Amselfass in #2131

• Change Mars and Venus orbit requirements from relying on maximum periapsis to relying on maximum apoapsis (7 and 1 day highly-elliptical orbits for first and repeatable contracts respectively). This provides a better basis than a multiple of body radius and is an actual requirement unlike a maximum periapsis (where one would naturally prefer the minimum periapsis possible) by @ppboyle

v2.6.3 for KSP 1.12.x

What's Changed

• Construction times for buildings and for LC modification now takes the previous facility into account, considerably shortening build times, especially for later-tier / higher-cost facilities (albeit increasing per-day outlay, so construction rates less than 100% may be desired; change rate on the Construction tab). This change will only take effect on new constructions by @NathanKell
• Revise resource cost multipliers again due to an oversight re: tooled vs untooled costs by @TwistedGiraffe
• Reduce the rate at which unlock credit is generated by @ppboyle

• Change "Complete" to "Completes" in the Mission/Proficiency Training UI for clarity by @NathanKell

Full Changelog: v2.6.2.0...v2.6.3.0

v2.6.2 for KSP 1.12.x

What's Changed

• Switch to a general integration cost for hazardous resources rather than the old per-part system. This should reduce spiky values for service modules and the like. This should result in similar integration times to before the changes to resource multipliers, except for a decrease in integration time for crewed vessels with fuel cells and hypergolics by @NathanKell
• Fix an issue where a previous fix to subsidy calculations was only cosmetic, leading to lower than designed subsidy
• Fix the Reputation tooltip overestimating reputation decay
• Fix predicted subsidy in the Budget screen not taking leaders into account when predicting reputation decay
• Fix Comm Test and Early Comm Satellite contracts not counting as optional for the Comm Network program
• Refresh the Integration Info window when unlocking a part or upgrade
• Fix the Fund Target in the Combined tab of Space Center Management not clearing correctly
• Speed up rendering of the Combined tab
• Mention the use of Shift (x10), Ctrl (x100), and Alt (Max Possible) for staff changes in the Staff window
• Add a startup popup mentioning ROLoadingImages if it is not installed
• Unstick HasCrewCapacity in contracts by @Teykn in #2113
