This one's a big one!
We've been working on this patch for the past few months, and some of the headliners include new difficulty settings for the novice pilot, as well as a host of graphical and Quality-of-Life fixes.
Read more below:
New Graphics
- Better thruster VFX
- “Glow Zones” to illuminate crates and the cockpit
- CRT style displays
- Revamped instrument textures
- Added Cockpit Glass

New Features
- Docking Camera
- V2 Leaderboards
Leaderboards will now show extra info, such as platform, assist levels, and if HOTAS/Controller hardware was used.
(Note: V1 scores will be converted upon loading game)
- Expanded Difficulty Options
Do you need Auto-braking to keep you from drifting into deep space? or perhaps a lite-auto-pilot to help you follow moving cargo, we’ve added these as optional “position assists”.
- Subtitles
Featuring settings like adjustable scale, speaker colors, speaker names, and a “bionic” mode.
- Docking Feedback Lights

(previous versions have been moved to “Unpaid Overtime” levels section)

Quality of Life Improvements
