Update 9.6.2021 (Alpha 476)

New Features and Major Updates
  • Major material update
    • Some items might receive materials not found on the Eos belt, and will later be found on the moons
  • Asteroid Belt ore distribution updated
  • Mouse Ship Controls
    • The first version, still a work in progress and we would like input from players
    • Player can toggle mouse ship control mode when sitting in pilot seat by pressing C
    • In mouse control mode, moving cursor is bound to default yaw/pitch levers if present
    • Known issues and lacking features:
      • HUD not finished
      • No bind customization
      • No settings options
      • No way to freelook while in mouse ship controls mode
Known Issues

Let us have access to the mouse hud file/folder. So we can create and use our own personal huds. It's a client side thing, so no unfair advantage, and allows the game to be personalized a little.

Such nice things when I'm on the road!
Mouse control! Even such flawed version is better than nothing!
Fuel chamber exploit fix!

Keep up good work.
