Playtesting and feedback are critical to ensuring we can provide great experience for captains in Spaceport Trading Company. Recently, we had the game reviewed by a few YouTube channels and a common theme was after meeting the first contact they never found a second, even traveling to 10+ locations. Therefore, we realized that the Job Board had to evolve and quickly.
Thank you for all of the feedback, testing, and bug reports.

- Location Dock service Job Board will now display the Job Board Panel and not the Missions Panel
