2.4.4 deals mainly with multiplayer fixed, but also adds a cool new system called "annotations" (accessible from the vehicle V menu and visible when the game is paused, or in build mode)
It also makes a really nice quality of life change to the UI where holding middle mouse or holding E (both rebindable) allows the "mouse look" in all interfaces. Keyboard moving of the camera is already active in UIs so now you can really explore things whilst you have a UI open.
A number of other bugs have also been fixed, but are small and as such I did not put them into the change log.
v2.4.4 [Add] : Added 'annotation' options for vehicles (accessible from V menu). These are visible when the game is paused (F11) or you are building on the design. See DWG 'Duster' for first examples.
v2.4.4 [Add] : Holding middle mouse or pressing E allows you to 'mouse look' from inside an open user interface. Available in almost all UIs. Rebindable in the options menu.
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-763] Bug with 'above' type adjuster for naval behaviour fixed (caused issue with broadside)
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-753] Auto-orientation of custom jet engine extension parts fixed
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-767] Bug with ACB setting GP-PID type triggering the pre-2.4.0 vehicle migration code for assigning hover thrusters now fixed
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-758] Propulsion and drive breadboard modules no longer act when vehicle is being tractor beamed by friendly docking station
v2.4.4 [Fix] : Fortress manoeuvre and behaviour routines now have a default setup migration for the 'adjuster'- this will keep them at sensible altitudes
v2.4.4 [Fix] : Fortresses can now turn under AI control
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-740] large gantries only connect when they are exactly lined up with the launch pad (odd configurations used to be possible)
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-759] Missiles fired / reloaded during a warp jump are now the correct size
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-709] Breadboards will sync changes correctly in multiplayer now
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-738] Copy Paste now synchronises in multiplayer
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-738] Reset buttons on the UI (such as those for propulsion blocks) now correctly sync in multiplayer
v2.4.4 [Fix] : [BUGS-739] 'Repair Other' repair beams now render on the client as well as the host in multiplayer
v2.4.4 [Fix] : Fixed various issues retrofitting a vehicle with stacked subconstructs
v2.4.4 [Fix] : Fixed various issues with new vehicles built in multiplayer not syncronising data
v2.4.4 [Fix] : Fixed various issues with sub vehicle spawners and syncronisation of the drone/mothership states
v2.4.4 [Fix] : Spawning a vehicle with drones no longer creates issues
v2.4.4 [Fix] : Fixed issues with PAC melee lens and made it a lot more damaging
v2.4.4 [Fix] : Drone and mothership links are maintained until the SVS block is permanently removed from the design (not just killed), or the UI is used to disconnect the drone.

Summary
In From the Depths you can build and take first-person command of battleships, planes, submarines, space ships, hot air balloons and more! The game is currently in alpha and contains a wide range of single player content including:
A creative mode allowing you to push your designs to the limit and ensure the total annihilation of your opponents.
A campaign waged over hundreds of islands against eight unique factions.
A Story Mode where you can (eventually!) play 15 missions as each of the eight factions - a fantastic mixture of strategy, design and wild battles! Defend your fleet against waves of enemy forces in a series of extremely tough challenges that unlock new components.
An expansive multiplayer and co-op element is planned for the coming months!
Key Features
Design and build your fleet, fortresses and structures however you want. The alpha currently has over 400 unique components blocks, not including 29 different components for making missiles, torpedoes, depth charges and bombs.
The sky's the limit, you can equip your vehicle with - cannons, lasers, mines, bombs, missiles, torpedoes, propellers, rudders, jet engines, wings, hydrofoils, hot air balloons, anchors, fire control computers, blueprint spawners, repair bots, air pumps, automated control blocks and many, many more!
Realistic physics - every block destroyed or added affects the vehicle's functionality, physics and control. Drag, inertia tensors, buoyancy and sealed compartments are all updated based on the design of your vehicle and the damage sustained.
Be part of a fantastic community (http://www.fromthedepthsgame.com/forum), with new releases made on average once a week. Community organised challenges and blueprint sharing make it an extremely friendly place to hang out!
Customisable Components
The customisable components in From the Depths allow a unique level of engineering customisation:
Design custom missiles, bombs, depth charges and torpedoes by combining various warheads types, fuse types, IR seekers, laser beam riders, laser designators, thrusters, navigation algorithms, fuel pods, sonar seekers, buoyancy compartments and propellers, to deliver a truly bespoke weapon.
Design custom cannons by combining four different barrel types and lengths with autoloaders, warhead types, ammo boxes and auxiliary components to create everything from AA cannons to howitzers.
Design custom AI by combing an AI mainframe with 'AI cards' slotted into motherboard blocks. Add radar detection, laser detection and tracking and local weapon controllers to give partial or full control to AI. Create anything from a fully AI controlled aircraft carrier to a battery powered drone.
Design custom engines using crank shafts, cylinders, carburetors, super chargers, exhausts and fuel injectors. Electric engines, generators and chargers are also available for backup power supplies and drones.
Similar systems exist for the creation of anti-vehicle and anti-missile lasers, as well as drills that can cut even the largest of battleships in half.
