Fixed rare crash on game load without MW5CompatPack.
Fixed hero pilots spawning without traits.
Fixed hero pilot available markers not having hero pilots.
Fixed an issue resulting in the pilot hire list never removing "old" pilots from a system.

Further academy crash fixes
Integration of new trait gain system

New trait system does not yet take into account trait rarity/chances yet. This will be coming in a future update. Overrepresentation of affinity traits can be mitigated by increasing the number of trait picks in mod options.

Fixed academy/training completion crashes.
Fixed a travel crash.
Fixed blank academy program names and descriptions.

EDIT: There are still issues with academy crashes. I don't know how so much broke with the game update.

Update for game version 1.12.376
New mod options added as part of Enhanced Academies integration.
There will be some minor issues, I had not finished integrating when the game updated. Some parts are disabled.

New scrolling trait box for the pilot roster and pilot selection screens.
Fixed hero pilots disappearing when jumping into their system.
Fixed academies resetting pilot skill XP to 10.
Fixed GTE pilots in random generation.
Restored load order to 14.

Academy skill gain hotfix

DLC7 compatibility
Ground-up rebuilt UI to match DLC7's new pilot UI
Lots of fixes from previous versions

Removed DropPreparationWidget override
Hail's arc should now be visible in an entire conflict zone instead of a specific system
Mist's arc should be visible from everywhere.
Fixed dismissed/dead pilots still showing up in the barracks and still taking salary.
Minor co-op sync improvements.
Fixed pilot slot 1 not being interactable with some mods.
Implemented a save recovery system to fix corrupted saves (pink affinity icons, injuries not showing up correctly, and other UI bugs are fixed alongside this)
This system isn't perfect, your pilots will retain quirks and skills, but not their pilot record or affinities.

A nuclear fix for people still having issues with pilots from 8.0.1
