A new remote control allows you to watch your ship fly by, or even play "2-player" by controlling a second starship! Also there's a bunch of bug fixes, but nobody cares about those...

This is mostly useful for video making. Here's a couple tips though 1) Controls_P2.xml contains the controls for the second controller , 2) flying an entity into the camera (or just enabling camera control while inside an entity) allows for custom 3rd person angles, and 3) having a second player try to run away as a second ship is entertaining.
