This update introduces the first of three new missions to the game, that will serve as some single-player content as well as a learning experience for newer players. This first one is called "First Steps" and replaces the old (and outdated) tutorial and guides the player through some basic aspects of the game in small steps combined with some action sequences.
Two additional missions will be released soon, complementing the single-player content with more difficult missions where the player has more freedom than in the tutorial while keeping them in a scripted story, offering some variety to the normal game modes.
There are also a few other improvements and bug fixes you can take a look at in the full changelog below, most notably the smaller fighter cockpit models got reverted to an earlier version to due popular demand.
If you have any feedback or issues, especially with the new tutorial, let me know!
