In the main menu, you can view all contract missions and claim the reward as soon as you have completed a contract. Some players had requested an expanded metaprogression system, and the contracts mechanic is designed to enhance this. Additionally, it holds potential for various endgame challenges.

This update includes some quality of life changes the community asked for. I included tooltips to the stats at the level up choice to provide an easy entry for new players and a failsafe dialogue when clicking "Abort Mission".
Some players had complained about the roll chance of engines. For this reason, I have slightly increased the chance in the first two sectors once again. I hope this will reduce the randomness somewhat.
You can also check out the new content. A new ship, engines and passive items can be researched in the colony ship.

Thank you very much for your feedback! Many players have requested a redesign of the stats window. I have divided the stats into categories and sorted them alphabetically. I hope this will make it easier to find individual stats. Furthermore, there has been a request to increase the chance of active part rolls in the first sectors.
New Escape Pod Mechanics:
Escape pods are used when your ship is destroyed to safely transport crew members to the colony. The number of escape pods can be increased through passive items. This way, your colony can continue to grow even if your mission fails. Each ship starts with one escape pod designated for the captain.
New Scrap Container Ship Mechanic:
Scrap container ships will rarely spawn in any sectors. These ships transport a larger amount of scrap. Try to destroy them to access the resources.

New Ship added: Valkyrie
New Gadget added: Time Anomaly Drone
New Escape Pod Mechanic added
New Scrap Container Ship added

Base stats of all ships rebalanced
Chances to find weapons and engines increased on sector 1-2
