Graphics, Gameplay, Optimization Update - Late September '18

First of all, big thanks to Megan for providing me with great feedback and ideas, many of which that went into this update. I've added a new trailer to the store page, which is also on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-x4_AzxhK0 Here's the list of updates:

Heavy optimizations
Particle based explosions
More balanced RPG mode gameplay
More balanced crafting material drops
More metallic/shinier looking ship & asteroid rendering
Asteroids now fly through target area and only explode if something collides with them
Thruster fire does damage and pushes things away
ESC Menu now pauses game
Hold shift at (almost) any time to enter quick-pick mode, where edge panning is enabled, left click picks up items, and right click melts them.
Number of inventory pages now increases with level, up to 8 pages of inventory to store items in.
Long charge weapons no easier to see charge state (Railguns, Torpedo/EMP Launchers, Drone Launchers)
Inventory Sort button
Inventory auto-repairs when at space stations
Can set angular range of power hinges/turrets
Laser beams now tapered and do more damage up close
Bug fixes and more!

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.
Crafting system, where elements are stored in stacks in your inventory and blueprints are unlocked by melting down components.
