Since v24, I've gotten a little more info about these from Matthew.
"Alpha" became "cloneReady"
Code: Select all
* Unknown.

* Matthew's hint: He says it's an int.
"Beta" became "deathOrder", a redundant copy of "clonebayPriority"
Code: Select all
* Sets the Clonebay's queue priority for this crew (lowest is first).

* When this crew dies, this is set to the newly incremented universal
* death count. Then this value lingers. When this crew has not yet
* died, this is -1.
Future releases will quietly skip "deathOrder" when opening, and write the value of "clonebayPriority" in both places when saving. It will not appear in the GUI as a separate field anymore.
