We now have pirates that will make attacks on you space station! How frequent is based on difficulty, defenses, if your trading beacon is on and if a trader is nearby. Quite basic in the pirates attack at the moment (lasers, mining droids, traders), but the functionality is there now for me to easily add targets as i add pirate damage to walls/items. And to change pirates abilities.
Also have a new scrap/debris space item to watch out for. These are generated via destroyed ships, turrets (and future destroyed structure/items). Currently they act as just something that can damage your station. But in the future this will be a resource to capture and process into metal.
As it's been a few weeks since last update, quite a fixes and improvements as well.
