Hey everyone,
the game's been out a couple days, so it's about time we did an update wouldn't you say? :)
This one features a big bunch of minor improvements and fixes, but it's main purpose is to address the crashing issue that some fresh players were having on first dock. It seems to have been caused by Steam not creating the save folder on installation, so we added a little placeholder file in there, and hopefully that will fix it.
The other fixes address many of the issues reported on the forums, and also some small things that were nagging us for quite some time (damn you, indestructible space junk!). Also new is that you can now choose how much of the speed particles effect you want to see in the graphics menu.
