The overall presentation has been thoroughly overhauled, with the available challenges now taking up less space and integrating neatly into the new background graphics:

Be aware though that it’s going to take a while to make enough background graphics for the whole game, so mostly it looks like this right now:

It’s still a step up from before, where there was just a black screen, though! Beyond that, there are three new locations in the form of remass depots that change the dynamics in the orbits quite a bit. There’s also a new category in the codex explaining the entire orbital “geography” and its trade routes. All in all, the game has changed a lot in just this one month!

Detailed patch notes:

• Completely reworked presentation of available challenges.
• Added placeholder graphics.
• Added “Alex” spacecraft graphic for space scenes.
• Added graphic for empyrean core.
• Added codex entries for Orbitography. Be sure to take a read of at least the logistics section to get a better idea of how to get around efficiently.
• Added three depots to flesh out the logistics network and make it easier to get around with as weak a craft as the Alex.
• Slightly adjusted the orbits of some stations to better reflect their function.
