Thanks for coming and checking out the progress on our first Game. We have made many changes and enhancements in the last 4 weeks. As detailed below, there are likely a few changes we missed as major changes were made to the system layout and an all new player interaction system.

The New Contextual Communications System will prompt you to press F, this is used for many things in the game. This will simplify interactions with NPC's and Stations, while also overhauling mining. The Mining is now a toggle on / toggle off type beam with all new Sounds.
New stations and planet rescales are already done for all Low orbit maps, but in the next release.
