• Fixed an issue preventing ships from spawning
  
• Reduced size of the moon asset (not final)
  
• Tweaked solar system ranges a little

All old Galaxies will need to be deleted, the bug that is saved in their data will not be corrected.

• Added colliders to asteroids (moon still missing)
  
• Increased planetary spacing
  
• Reduced amount of durability provided by armor plates
  
• Resolved durability multiplication on save of ship files.
  
• Increased NPC activities - You should see them a bit more often, this is still not final.

• Reset ship orientation has been removed as unnecessary.
  
• Fixed a bug with names of faction ship folders.
  
• Fixed some bugs with ship destruction, flying through a planet should reliably result in your death.
  
• This patch introduces a simplified collision detection system. All ships have a single collider and damage is spread randomly to modules on the target. This implementation is not final. In the future, ships will behave this way when their shields are up (with incoming damage greatly mitigated), and per-module collision will be active if the shields fail. In the meantime, this change should result in noticeably improved performance for many players.
  
• The stats display in the shipyard will now update every time a subsystem is placed in, or taken out of, a module.
  
• The att_durability subsystem attribute (present on armor subsystems) will now properly increase the health of the module it is placed in. It displays the sum of the health of all modules in the ship.
  
• The Durability display on the shipyard stats display is now functional.
  
• All Stock ships have been updated to reflect the changes to durability, they have also been configured with the proper subsystems as will be intended once all of the features are online. These can be used as examples of how to design your own ships.
  
• Fixed a bug with the floating origin that would cause AI ships to travel to empty space instead of a meaningful destination.
  
• Fixed a bug preventing players from adding subsystems to a ship that has been loaded in the Shipyard
  
• Previously, holding shift in the shipyard would allow for the slower zoom speed, with the fast speed being the default. According to user feedback, this has been switched. Slow speed is default, hold shift to zoom more quickly.
  
• Asteroid generation and rendering have been changed. Newly generated galaxies should have much more visible asteroids.

• Performance should be a bit better at the shipyard for low-performance machines. We’ll be working on improving it and giving you different video settings soon.
  
• Fixed issues with ship colors not being applied properly.
  
• Improved the camera lens effect.
  
• Small tweaks on the shipyard lighting settings.
  
• AI ships will now fight each other if they encounter a ship from a hostile faction.

• Fixed a typo in the Shipyard that caused ships classified as Light Fighters to be shown as Fighters.

0.016

• Cursor set to Force software mode when switching to the aiming reticule.
  
• Shipyard revamped with new model, texture and effects.
  
• Fixed ship materials - they should look cleaner now.
  
• Ship components should remain if a part is destroyed but they still have a connection to the ship.
  
• Turret AI has been improved to better detect when it is pointing at its own ship.
  
• Fixed guns will now work properly
  
• Added texture and updated mesh for SpikeFin01
  
• Added textures for t5_bridge_01
  
• Added different effects maps for T1-T3 hull pieces, they should no longer have windows.

There’s a Design a Ship Contest going on in the community right now! Make something in the Shipyard and share it in the screenshot section on steam with the ship size classification and “contest” in its description. You win the chance to get your design turned into an official illustration that will appear on a Steam Trading Card! Post as many designs as you want, a winner will be chosen for each ship classification within the game. This contest will end on June 24th.
More information can be found in the post made on the Steam Forum here: http://steamcommunity.com/app/227160/discussions/0/864969953726393200/
