PATCH: Updated tutorial, mouse controls help, minor fixes

Just a quick update to help with ease of use (especially for new players), and some minor fixes.

Added mouse controls help (can be disabled in new gameplay options menu)
The tutorial can now be retaken (via the gameplay options menu)
Rotating a piece in build mode is now done with the right mouse button instead of holding ALT
Fixes to enemy ships (mainly Goliath)
Miscellaneous fixes

As well within the next week or two I will be releasing a free Demo version on Steam, so stay tuned for that if you haven't purchased the game but would like to try it out first.

Game Modes

Roguelike mode: Permadeth, no levelling/XP system, specials are randomly dropped by defeating enemies. All enemies are roughly the same level, bosses are a little stronger. Good ship design in this mode is key.
RPG mode: Experience system, specials unlocked by levelling up and defeating bosses. Enemy levels and boss levels increase as you make your way through the game.

Secondary Missions & Space Stations

As well as the primary missions (bosses), there are now secondary missions which can help you level up faster and get higher level and harder to get components as rewards. There are missions available from every space station, and roughly 25 space stations (one in each area) in each game. Missions get replenished as you go through them, and are randomly generated and scaled based on the difficulty of the area you are in.

Cargo missions: Attach cargo containers to your ship, fly them safely to the destination space station to get a reward.
Hunt missions: Destroy a certain number of a type of drone ship in the target area to get a reward.
Trophy missions: Take a specific type of ship component from an enemy ship in the target area, and return with them to exchange them for a reward.
Freight ships: Over 200 freight ships flying around all at once in the map. You can trade with them, and they can be useful in finding space stations you haven't discovered yet.

Enemies/AI

Over 50 AI controlled drone ships to battle and salvage from.
Each one is made entirely out of components that can be placed on your ships, and many have special abilities that you can unlock.
Enemy ships now have pack dynamics, and each one has a different personality. Sometimes they will fight themselves if one accidentally attacks the other.
7 bosses

18 special abilities to give you an edge, including Torpedo, EMP missile, Shockwave, Singularity.
Huge procedural generated maps to explore.
4 page inventory to store extra components and crafting materials.
