New Features

Main menu layout updated to make screens and options clearer and to allow room for descriptions

Added Commander details to the top right corner

Added a news carousel that can display GalNet headlines, store releases and/or community announcements

Hints/tips are displayed during the loading screen

Players current main ship is displayed as the background on the main menu Note: this will always be your current 'main' ship; fighters/SRVs will not be shown



Updated the new commander flow to make the process more informative and engaging

Ship selection screens now display more information on the ship, and also includes an image of the ship itself

Players can now choose to start in the Dromi system (in a permit-controlled area administered by the Pilots’ Federation) or in the standard package location

The Pilots' Federation District is a collection of systems designed to offer a regulated area for new Commanders

Outfitting in these systems offers a basic level of equipment, and Shipyards offer a range of entry level ships

Missions offered in the district are aimed at early stage players

These systems are also marked with a special icon in the navigation panel and galaxy map

Once players have gained a rank in Combat, Trade or Exploration, they are offered a 'graduation' mission, which directs them out of the district. If they choose to complete this mission, they cannot re-enter any of the district systems. This also means current, experienced players cannot enter any of these systems



Advanced Docking Computer - The Advanced Docking Computer provides cutting edge guidance control to the ship’s computer, offering a further launch option alongside the assisted docking function.

Supercruise Assist - The Supercruise Assist module allows the ship’s computer to regulate the approach towards a set location within the current system and to disengage the drive at the appropriate time . This module can also be used to enter orbit around a planetary body. Planet side targets are excluded - instead they will engage the planetary orbit function of the computer, and Commanders will need to manually guide the ship to the ground destination

- The Supercruise Assist module allows the ship’s computer to regulate the approach towards a set location within the current system and to disengage the drive at the appropriate time . This module can also be used to enter orbit around a planetary body. Added a new 'Flight Assistance' section to the Ship tab on the right hand panel. Here players can toggle various options on or off (if fitted with the correct modules): Flight Assist Auto Dock Auto Launch (requires Advanced Docking Computer) Rotational Correction Hyperspace Dethrottle (requires the Supercruise assist module. If switched on, throttle will automatically set to zero on entry to a new system)



Plotted route information is now displayed along the top of the Navigation tab

The popup box for each entry in the Navigation tab now includes extra information (where applicable) and various quick links to other features/areas of the game: Lists any activities available at the selected location, with links to the relevant pilots handbook article(s) Links to system or galaxy map where appropriate Highlights threat levels when the threat is higher than your combat rank (and lists if it is human or xeno) Displays various data on ports or nearby systems, such as allegiance, economy, has appropriate landing pad for your ship, relationship, state, security level galactic region Maintains all previous actions such as lock target, and bookmark location



New section added to the Codex that contains articles detailing activities and features of the game: Mining Exploration Piracy Trade and Smuggling Mercenary Work Bounty Hunting Xeno Hunting Salvage and Rescure Maps Crime and Punishment



Training simulations are now accessible from within any ship cockpit, from anywhere Note: if you attempt to start a simulation whilst in danger, you will be subject to the standard 15 second delay before proceeding



Separated 'Buy' and 'Sell' screens, to make it clearer to the player what data they are looking at

Added filters

Added 'Suggested' markets to the comparisons popup, and populated it with nearby data that the player owns Also added the mission icon to systems that the player has active missions in

The 'Help' button takes the player to the relevant Pilots Handbook article

Updated the supply and demand icons and added a description of it to the right hand side of the screen, to make it clearer to the player when to buy or sell

Highlight mission related and rare goods on the buy screen, with a key to icons along the bottom

Clarified what the comparison column is telling the player: On the buy screen - the profit if selected commodity is sold at selected market/galactic average On the sell screen - the profit if selected commodity is bought at selected market/galactic average, and sold at current market By default the column shows the 'Galactic Average' until the player selects a market to compare with

Added local market data to the right hand side for quick comparison

Buy screen shows Galactic average and price per unit on right hand side and Sell screen also includes profit if sold

Buy/Sell popup includes more information and quick links Local market data for quick comparison Selecting a market takes the player to the system on the galaxy map View commodity on galaxy - takes players to a filtered version of the map

Added more detail to the popup box when selecting any commodities in the players inventory, as well as a quick link to the galaxy map with the correct filter applied
