Improved New Player Experience

Hello Everyone,

I’ve rolled out a small update aimed at improving the new player experience. Here’s what’s new:

Dynamic Tooltips

• The lengthy 16-step tutorial is gone!
• Tooltips now appear only when relevant, making the introduction smoother and less overwhelming.
• Don’t need tooltips? You can disable them or re-enable them anytime by pressing F1.

Revamped New Player Experience

• Players are now thrown into battle within seconds of starting the game, learning the mechanics gradually as they play.
• This change ensures more players get to experience the core gameplay without being bogged down by an overly long tutorial.

Cleaned-Up UI

• The GUI and inventory screen have been significantly improved, addressing clutter caused by past updates.

Comprehensive Guide Coming Soon

• For players who still have questions, I’ll be releasing a detailed guide on the forums shortly. Stay tuned!

Bug Fixes & Known Issues

• Fixed: Numerous small bugs for a smoother experience.
• Known Issues:
  • Occasionally, the matchmaking system fails to find an opponent (rare and hard to debug so far).
  • A rare crash during saving has been reported, which can corrupt a player’s ship. While I can’t restore lost ships, I’m actively investigating this.

Thank you for your patience and support! I’m committed to resolving these issues as soon as possible.

Enjoy crafting, building, and battling!
