Without further ado, the patch notes:

Trade & Economy Overhaul

• Unified Transaction Logic:

  • Selling: Merged Shift+Click and Drag-and-Drop selling into a single global function. This prevents duplicate code and ensures security checks apply to both methods.

  • Buying: Merged Shift+Click and Drag-and-Drop buying into a single global function.

• Stock Persistence:

  • Stations, Planets, and Outposts now have limited stock (previously infinite).

  • Stock quantities are now visible in the UI (x5) for all vendors.

  • Buying items now correctly decrements stock from all vendor types.

• Loot Tables:

  • Commodities: Stations and Planets now sell random trade commodities (previously exclusive to Traders).

  • Quantity Rebalancing:

    • Weapons: Capped at 1–2 per stack (Ultra Rare).

    • Commodities: 2–9 per stack.

    • Supplies/Fuel: 5–20 per stack.

Universe & Exploration

• New Galaxy Types: Added distinct new system variants to the sector generation pool.

• Warp Choice Persistence:

  • System destination choices are now generated once per sector. Closing and reopening the Warp Menu no longer re-rolls the available planets.

  • Choices are only cleared and refreshed after a successful Hyper-Warp.

• Ancient Expanse Update:

  • The "Spawn Black Hole" event is now 100% guaranteed when entering an Ancient Expanse system (remains 5% rare chance elsewhere). This prevents a softlock.

• Visual Upgrades:

  • Starfield: Upgraded to a 3D Parallax system with Nebula clouds for greater depth.

  • Planets: Upgraded planet sprites for higher fidelity and added atmospheric glow.

  • Cities: Planetary landings now feature varied city visuals.

Ships & Fleet

• New Starter Ship: The "Junker" is now available as a starting vessel. This is meant as a harder starting option than the others, with 100 to all base stats, a new gun, and no passive.

• Fleet Management: General improvements to the Fleet and Missions menus for smoother navigation, including the addition of a repair button in the squad menu.

UI & Audio

• Legibility Pass: Retuned font sizes and adjusted menu rotation angles to improve readability across the board.

• Audio Immersion:

  • Added ambient engine sounds that react to ship state.

  • Expanded UI sound effects for interactions and feedback.

• Inline Styling Fixes: Corrected hardcoded font sizes in inventory rendering that were overriding global CSS.

Code Stability & Bug Fixes

• Critical Exploit Fix: Fixed a bug where Mission Critical Items could be sold via Drag-and-Drop.

• Scope & Crashes:

  • Promoted systemType to a Global Variable to prevent ReferenceError crashes during transactions.

  • Added safety checks for currentTradeTarget to prevent undefined variable errors.

Variable Injection: Fixed variable persistence issues in generateNewGalaxy.
Various other bug fixes and inconsistencies that would be much too tedious to list


Thank you so much for your support. I hope you enjoy the update, and look forward to the next because there is much more in store!
