Build 1.2 Hammerhead Update

Included in this update is the new Hammerhead Skimmer Tow Vehicle!

Born to haul Mars junk from port to port, but also makes a capable racing vehicle when unencumbered; the HammerHead is an excellent choice for those pilots who don't particularly want to stop for anything, or turn.






Patch notes:
• Hammer Head STV Skimmer!
• Rebalanced part prices.
• Glowing lights in the cockpits.
• Heat calculations modified to freeze heatramping while in cooling zone.
• Quill ECU remapped.
• New ECU panel layout.
• Main thruster auto rotated to point to true COM, instead of just chassis center.
• Skimmer history not scrubbed when renamed.
• Minor terrain texture changes.
• Object render auto-culling removed.
• Control inputs Horizontal, Vertical, Rudder renamed to Yaw, Pitch, Roll.
• Minor code optimizations to steer away from string parsing
• Brake now offers a "downward push" to get you back on the ground quicker.
• Fixed bug while typing letter C into new skimmer name.
• Upgraded Unity to 5.5.2

This week will celebrate 1 year of VR innovation by discounting 36% off the game. Grab one for you and your friends and challenge each other on the leaderboard ghost system. Please leave Vector 36 some good feedback if you enjoy the game.

Thanks!
