Hi all,

With patch v1.1 released, we're starting work on the second feature patch (v1.2). 

The focus of this patch is mainly around additional content and general stability / performance improvements

Usability

• Real-time position shown in Science and Navigation modules.
• Presence of survivors flagged on spacecraft.
• Missile / mine torpedo payload displayed on scan.
• Missing HELP entries added in.
• Configuration option to prevent ships spawning as part of the initial sector generation.
• User override of system variables.

Features / Gameplay

• Clouds / nebulae.
• Multiple system generation.
• Minefields.
• Bio-scanners.
• Rift anomalies.
• Heliosaur swarms.
• Adjustments to the noise system. 
• A WINE supported build (with the TTS libraries stripped out).
• Minor graphical changes.
• General performance and stability fixes.

Please note that this list may change depending on development and that we don't currently have a timescale for when this patch will release, though we will let you know as soon as it is planned.
