Rebellion Patch v1.03

This patch was released on June 28, 2012 and is only available for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion.
"This first update was designed specifically not to break save games; and so does not fully address all the items we're planning on (in regards to balance or code adjustments). A future update in late July will contain additional changes, but will also break saves as a result."
==Changes==
===Interface===
*Weapon damage numbers on entity Infocards now take into account damage from All For One, Savage Thrill and Militia Weaponry (actual damage was always correct, it just wasn't accurately displayed on the Infocard).

===Gameplay===
*Increased chance on all Corvette passive abilities from 2.5% to 5% per shot.
