Lately, Orbit had become full of rings, arcs and outlines. With 0.149 we’re cleaning up: whatever belongs to the world should look like part of it.
Signal buoys
A signal is now a real buoy: antenna dish, solar wings, blinking light. Instead of two circles, a warm glow shows how far the reception reaches. It brightens once you’re inside. Progress runs as a ring of lights around the buoy, and a data beam travels to your ship.
Light instead of lines
Nests, relics and the gate now glow softly instead of being outlined. The targeting cone is a fan of light like a searchlight. Around your ship, only what you really need in a fight remains.
Comets
Comets now have a real, tumbling rock nucleus and sit slightly out of focus in the distance. When one falls into a planet, it no longer crashes with a flash. It sinks in, gets smaller and smaller, and a small cloud of dust rises.
All details are in the patch notes.
