While this level of change would normally be a larger release, we are not finished with the Career game mode. The new Captain Location System is a major step forward for Story game mode, however for something so large we needed to preform a lot of testing, and now all known issues have been ironed out. Therefore, we wanted captains to a chance to provide feedback, the hope is there is nothing noticeable.
We have added a new ship, Skip Shuttle. More new ships are on the way. We are looking deep into a full rebalance of ships. The current idea is to create a few lines of purpose for ships, then adjust ships to fit into one or more and balance cost and features to fit. The goal is to allow for a good sense of progression (beyond buying the most expensive), and allow each line a way to aid in making credits.
Thank you for all of the feedback, testing, and bug reports.
