Big race slam and combat skill rate addressed in this patch?

[Slave]

Hoping melee skillups fix is in this one for population enhancement.

[kanras]

I don't normally put bug fixes in the patch notes unless I need feedback on them. It has been suggested that I should in the case of the skill rates. So the OP has been edited.

For other issues like slam accuracy, etc.. If I said it was fixed in the bug thread, then it will be in there.

ditto

And as I get to them, I shift factions closer to how they "should" be. Those too are not in patch notes.
