New Features:

Triton: We’ve discovered a slipgate to Neptune’s largest moon, and it is swarming with enemies.
New hard region, 2 sectors, mostly battles. Requires a coordinated and high-level crew to complete.

- New music track that plays while visiting any Outpost location
- New framerate settings for iOS and Android:
- Option to set FPS cap at 60 or 30
- Option to turn on FPS monitor
- New toggle to turn off Special FX:
- Turns off some animation and lighting effects that may be taxing older devices. ON by default for desktop and iOS, OFF for Android.
