Highlights: the periscope, a climate system with real teeth — and the game is playable in English.

⚠ Saves from 0.5.x still load. Behavior does change noticeably, though: unheated rooms now actually get cold — drive through the night without a climate module and your crew will feel it. In return, the world finally survives saving: wrecks, the positions of foreign cruisers and the damage state of battered enemies are now part of the save.

⭐ New

• Periscope — its own mode with a round field of view, horizon band and reticle. The mouse pans, the wheel zooms from 120° to 24° (purely optical). The trade-off: it hides the cockpit, leaving only speed and alert status
• Contacts can be resolved — the sector sensor gives identity instead of just a bearing, with progress and time remaining. Without a fix it reads "bearing only"
• Range-finding with the stadimeter, plus a mil scale, elevation scale and a numbered bearing rose. Contacts report length, beam and heading
• Cross-bearing with a real baseline: bearings count by distance traveled, not by angle change. The console names the missing action — "drive across" instead of a number of degrees
• Climate module (thermostat): heats and cools toward a target temperature; power draw follows the actual work. It regulates by room average, not by the cell it blows into
• Temperature view in the shape of the deck, with isotherms, room average in the tooltip and the cell value at the mouse. Leaky hull edges and radiating faces are marked
• Heat moves through the ship — between cells, through walls and doors, between decks, out through the roof and across the hull into the sun. Hull parts cast shade
• Salvage wrecks: mark a wreck, start the job, drones fly to it. In the salvage window you pick which types they retrieve; the job takes priority over field harvesting, and deselecting takes effect at once
• Wrecks are marked in the world and reachable via their own window
• Climate markers name floor and cycle, show a status bar and point in their working direction
• A custom mouse cursor — a brass needle instead of the Windows arrow, that doesn't vanish on bright sand
• English as a language, selectable in the ESC menu. The Wiki is bilingual

⚙ Improved

• Room temperature finally has teeth. An unheated room now follows the real night air — the crew gets cold there, and room quality finally has a genuine climate share. The climate module is no longer a comfort item
• Combat music only plays for located threats, not already at a bearing
• Climate modules no longer chatter at the switching threshold
• The climate grid has just one slider now; it follows the build scale

➖ Removed

• The old room-climate model — fully replaced by the new cell field
• The speed-unit toggle — the game now runs fully metric and shows km/h

🔧 Fixed

• Wrecks survive saving — loot and all. Wreck, contents and position are now in the save
• The salvage button vanished shortly after destroying a target
• Surviving foreign cruisers stay where you left them instead of respawning at their start point
• Saving no longer heals a battered enemy
• Rough travel damages modules again — its removal in 0.5.0 was a mistake. Driving hard once again means worse condition, less drive and less crew work
• The load limit on the speed band means something again (it sat at 0 in 0.5.0)
• Recon could be bypassed in four places — the label revealed identity/faction/range, nests drifted along while unsure, deposits showed bearing 000°, and looking away counted as progress
• Drive wear hit no track unit at all — it's now tied to the running gear itself
• The running gear's overload warning was off by a factor of ten (load capacity as force instead of weight)
• Numbers showed in the wrong locale (comma instead of period) — the display followed the system language instead of the chosen one
• ESC is reachable in every state (you could get stuck; in build mode it closed two things at once)
• The speed and signature readouts no longer jitter
• Nine tooltips froze or went untranslated on a language switch
• Destroyed enemy cruisers had nothing to loot — now they do
• A facility with a full output counted as a failure; the supply balance now shows what facilities could produce
• Fuel range went silent at zero consumption; it now states the reserve
• The scan only costs a signature pulse where it actually gains something (limited to swarm clusters)
• A hostile contact now reads "HOSTILE" everywhere
• Climate units kept running on an empty battery
• Climate markers were invisible in build mode
• The periscope started deployed instead of stowed
• Wrecks keep their track wheels; a newly placed module no longer inherits its predecessor's condition

⚠ Known Issues

• The periscope doesn't show a picture of the world yet (only scale, horizon band and contacts)
• The new mouse cursor doesn't scale on 4K displays
• The hint on the speedometer still explains the removed unit toggle
• The remaining points from 0.5.0 still apply
