Hey everyone!
This week's update focuses on bugfixes, improving UI, and has a secret mystery addition!
We added a mystery hidden inside the Nebulas. We won't say much more, you'll have to brave the dangerous clouds yourself to find out what it is!
On the upgrade screen, we've added upgrade categories. This will make switching out upgrades much easier, as you can quickly find any upgrade of the same category.
The AI is now a lot smarter when it comes to reacting to damage. Other pilots will only get mad once they've taken more than just an occasional hit, and they won't sit around and take it anymore, as they used to occasionally.
We've sped up split speeds inside systems a little bit. Getting around inside systems can take a long time, if you enter far away from your target. We're curious to hear feedback on this!
For some people that were having trouble reading the text, we've re-added a larger font, now called "Visual Assistance" mode. As of now, it will break some of the game's layout, so please only use it if you're having trouble reading the text!
Besides these changes, there are lots and lots of smaller bugfixes and improvements. Check out the full list below:
