Old City Nerf
The old cities have reached the end of their life. They need to be removed.
Old cities were removed from the universe. This is what happened to them.
If a hangar could not be placed, the spacecraft inside it were launched into orbit.
Underwater and gas giant cities probably failed to place any buildings other than the capitol.
Server Deadlock
A server deadlocked.
The deadlock happened when a building fetched a water vehicle to one of its parking spots. Water vehicles get a little extra work, to insure they fall/float to the water surface, and that resulted in a deadlock. It is fixed.
Shipments
Player hauling of TEU shipments is incomplete.
Finished some final details of players hauling shipments, related to the consequences for opening or jettisoning shipments.

Old cities were removed from the universe. This is what happened to them.
- Roads and landscapers were transferred to new style roads and landscapers, which are independent of cities. These were well preserved because there was an almost 1:1 correspondence between old and new. Pressurized roads became concrete roads, losing their enclosures.
- A new capitol building was placed at or near the location of the old city's capitol building, or its town square if it had no capitol building.
- If the new capitol building could not be placed, a beacon was placed there instead, and the city was lost completely, except for its roads.
- City money and report history were stored at the new capitol building. You may still see the old reports for awhile.
- Hangars were built to replace existing hangars that contained spacecraft. Ships in them were moved to the new hangars.
- A police station was placed at or near one existing police station, if any.
- A bank was placed at or near one existing bank, if any and if a police was built.
- An airport was placed at or near one existing airport, if any.
- City inventory was distributed among the resulting buildings.
- Empire, galaxy, and sector capitol status was transferred to the new capitol building where appropriate.
