features the following:
Performance improvements for low end devices which will aid tremendously in stability causing less crashes while playing large sectors. Space fog has been completely disabled as well as the "glob" wormholes
Sandbox Universe allows to create 16, 32, 64, 128 or 256 sector count for custom universe play
Sector sizes have been increased to 32k units; this makes for a much better "space" feeling while playing in a sector as well as it makes for a more tactical game-play to fortify a players stronghold within a sector
All Ships & Stations have been re-scaled
All Ships have been re-balanced
All Stations have increased Hulls and Cargo
All Weapons have been re-balanced
All Shields, Capacitors, Engines & Generators have been re-balanced
Stations can now equip larger Generators, Capacitors and Shields
All non-essential bays are opened (essential bays are bays required for the ship to function as well as for special orders to take place such as mining orders & passenger transport orders)
All Artillery are long-ranged weapons and require a minimum firing distance to use. This creates a more TACTICAL STYLE of game-play.
Lasers now miss; no more laser spamming from the NPCs or the Player just to win ... a fighter can now outmaneuver lasers and actually dog-fight. Playing on full zoom in a fighter makes the game very immersive.
Scratch cards give rewards; this is for the non-god-mode players so they can use it as a "cheat" for quick and easy credits
Fixed the issue where NPCs would outfit their ships & stations with cloaks. Basically the cloaking device is set back to its own unique bay, and only the X variants will be able to properly use it (as they should be only for the X variants). All other variants will just have a free extra open bay; if the ship came pre-loaded with a cloak it might be there but it will not allow to be re-added if sold to non-X variants.
Satellite scan range has been increased where 1 single satellite is enough to scan the entire sector. The hull has been increased as well.
Description text information screens have been updated so weapons will read their minimum & maximum firing ranges.
All "coming soon" scenarios have been unlocked; now a player can enjoy the developers scenarios as they are fully accesible to play.
All new Orion mesh, dubbed the Broadsword (no more clunky models in-game).
Brand new Laser V; the most powerful of all weapons with long-reload time. Only available for Overlord, Magnus & Stations (unless using the in-game cheat menu can equip on any ship).
Mission payouts have been re-balance
Might be forgetting what else changed ... but that's all can remember
