The free bonus DLC 2, which consists of the patches 195-198, adds a new module and advanced galaxy customization to the game!
Bussard Ramjet
The Bussard Ramjet generates a large amount of energy whenever your ship is inside a space nebula. When combined with batteries, this allows you to build light-weight fighter ships, which are fast and maneuverable. Until they run out of juice. :)
Galaxy Customization
The exploration mode has been expanded to offer more advanced settings. You can change the galaxy shape, the number of wormholes, the number of connections between stars and more.
Ship Design Rule Change
You can now place modules directly in front of weapons (if you choose to ignore the warninge). While not a clever idea in general, this change greatly enhances what you can do with the joint and piston modules. Alternatively, you can opt to build a second layer of backup weapons for when your ship's outer layer gets destroyed. Maybe there are other uses as well. :)
Other news
This is the second of a total of three bonus DLCs. The final bonus DLC will add even more modules and maybe a few new gameplay mechanics and tweaks to the game. Please let me know what you would like to see!
In other news, please look forward to other game related announcements coming from me some time Q2-Q3 2018. :)
