Leaderboards
You are now highlighted in a separate color to easily determine your position.
Added seasons and rewards for them based on different placements.
Rewards can be seen by entering the corresponding seasonal leaderboard and clicking the "rewards" button.
A season lasts 1 month.
Added seasons:
Experience
Does not account for experience boosters and other sources of additional experience.
Killed bots
Accounts for the approximate points of the bot's power.
Asteroids
Currently identical to the current leaderboard. In the future, it may differ based on the destruction of asteroids of various sizes and their value.
A list of top leaders for the year will be added in the future.
Access to elite leaderboards is now open. You can access it while inside the system through the leaderboards, or by clicking on the system name in the elite panel.
A person will not enter the leaderboard if they used any boosters.
Hyperjump
The mechanics of entry/exit have been changed.
Upon entry, you can jump to another system just by being near the point within the maximum radius (0.5), but not necessarily exactly on it.
Upon exit, you will appear at a random distance within the maximum radius (0.5) around the hyper-point.
Applies a temporary hyperjump defocusing effect for 5 seconds, preventing jumping back into the previous system within the radius. The ship will be forced to jump from the perfect entry point, as before. It also reduces jump efficiency by 5% for every jump attempt while under the debuff (stacks until the effect disappears).
Dreadnoughts have a 5 times larger spread on exit and a defocusing time of 30 s.
Engine weakening is not applied in the first sector.
Return of droids and hyperjump are no longer visible beyond the radar.
Storage
Each level of positive status now grants +20 storage slots.
Each positive level of reputation with any faction now grants +10 storage slots.
The base amount of storage slots has been reduced from 200 to 150.
The first premium purchase now permanently grants +25 storage slots.
Premium itself now grants an additional +100 storage slots.
Added a description of how to obtain slots on the "?".
It is now possible to drag items from the player's inventory in the storage window (below the storage inventory) anywhere and interact with items just like in the inventory (modularity, phasing, destruction, etc.).

Now deleted upon expiration.
No longer displays the option to speed up/cancel upon order completion.
