The goal with this patch is quality-of-life improvements, save game support, and continued early-game smoothing based on playtester feedback. Save game means you can finally close the game mid-run without losing progress. Star View lets you check the world map from anywhere, so you don't have to remember the map while in Trade, Events.

Features and interesting changes:

• Save Game / Continue feature (one save slot for now)

• Star View - peek the map from other situations

• Hover tooltips on status effects

• Revert move button in Battle (can now revert ship moves)

• Continued early-game smoothing (sectors 1–15 slightly easier, sector 1-5 normalized to always 2–3 enemies)

Minor changes:

• Macross counterattack no longer triggers on phasing ships and now respects on-kill effects

• Hunter ability now costs 1 weapon cap (down from all)

• Macross ability now costs 1 weapon + 1 move cap (down from all)

• Ironmark side range nerf

• Taiko Interceptor base max reduced to 2 (from 3)

• Clarified ability text on Amun, Bastion, Khepri, Ptah, Skull

• Can no longer recover unscavengeable ships

• Tradescene now shows deploy/fleet capacity and inventory ships more clearly

• Skip CLI scene text with spacebar

• Clickable Discord link in main menu

• More visuals in space

• Various UI fixes (tooltip positioning, exhaust visuals on Macross/Amun/Taiko, context menu click-blocking)
