BETA 9.1 unveils some improvements based on recent feedback from BETA 8 and BETA 9 as well as a few bug and balance fixes. With the way the universe now works, sometimes getting somewhere took too long. So we are changing that to allow you to travel to any previously unlocked and visited jumpgate when entering a jumpgate. That means if you travel from System 1 via Gate A to System 2 via Gate B, all the way to System 26, you could now travel all the way back to System 1 in one transversal. Additionally, we have made a few map improvements for panning and zooming to make the things a bit easier to control. We have also heard your thoughts on hailing, and we have done a bit of pruning. General messages will usually appear once per region, but repeat visits will usually not produce hails. Vessels and stations of the same faction will better coordinate now, and not bombard you with hails either. Exceptions include doing things that anger them, or hails considered critical like distress calls. Trading also gets a bit streamlined with a new, optional "Open Trade" button available on the Inspection screen, same area as the Manufacturing or Construction buttons. There are a few AI improvements, with them better understanding relationship between the a player and the player's vessel, and some other player actions that were previously misunderstood. Finally, a few changes to the Independent Trader trade tables have been made, making it far less lucrative to trade from a Trader's Drift station to another. Independent Trader trade ships and other faction's trade tables are unaffected. If you would like to check out this pre-release build all the usual things apply, it will have problems (some of which we know about) and universes created may not be compatible with the final release.
