Notes

"New Vessel" should only appear when the game is first started, "New" is clicked, or a transfer has occurred. Previously this was reset when exiting the drydock but the last vessel is now always saved until you deliberately delete it to prevent losing your work or inconsistent behavior for Launch vs Exit Speak ability does not currently have a controller binding Helicopter rotors are intended to produce diminishing returns with altitude and more rotors. They are optimal for single rotor designs but will now function better with duel rotor designs and even quad rotors in terms of drag. Beyond quad rotors you may not be able to effectively control an aircraft with the current rotor specs (more rotor parts are planned for the future) Light material groups can only apply / sample colors. Pulling another player with a vessel in the air using a rope does not work very well because of the way that Physics sync. If you remove a structure inventory container from the design or move it in a way that cannot be inferred the inventory items will still be deleted. If you re-arrange containers it is also possible their contents will be swapped, but that won't really be noticeable if they are the same part unless you have separate colors on them or something. The shark limit is currently 3 for performance and multiplayer impact, spawning more than 1 shark is far less probable than 1 shark. When you disable / turn off engines, they will automatically come back on at the speed you turned them off and or the current throttle. While not 100% realistic, it is more functional than having to stop and stop all engines to get things running smoothly again and it prevents you from falling out of the sky if you are building something complex and changing engines states mid air. Guides will be updated soon.
