This update has been less about content and more about making the existing game as fun as possible. We have some big (requested) quality of life features along with lots of balance changes to the enemies. Avoiding damage using dodges should now feel viable and fun, especially against enemies using laser weapons. We've moved the main ship bar across to the bottom left so you have more vertical space and made some changes to camera settings that should improve visibility. You can now hyperdrive jump directly to any linked encounters you have access to and your tractor range has been doubled so you shouldn't have to spend so much time flying around collecting loot. As always we hope you enjoy this update full patch notes are below. The next should include Sector 3 and the new Flora enemy faction!
