Our latest fast track has a small list of changes, but some very significant things have changed, specifically that FTL Beacons are now required to jump to a specific location in a system. Engineering and Survey ships can deploy beacons. Also, space docks can now both store and move units between the planet and the transports in space.
The feedback messages in game have been updated to reflect the new feature designs.
