Orbit stays in Orbit. After an Orbit flight, Arcade and Track kept showing Orbit overlays over the playing field: the mission panel (“THE WRECKAGE · Hive · 5,490 px”), the timeline (“ZONES 0/3 · SWARM RING in 1:27 · JAMMING CLOUD 100 %”) and the zone briefing text. They’re only ever toggled on and off inside Orbit and were never reset when another mode started. Now every flight start clears them.
Also:
- The SHIP tab used to show the six module slots in Arcade and Track too, with the note “Modules are available at trading posts” — but those only exist in Orbit. The slots now only appear there.
- The ship-fitting menu’s category Hangar used to be called “Orbit Equipment,” but it also holds perks for every mode. The text now says which ones only work in Orbit (Filter System, Launch Companion) and which work everywhere (Cargo Hold, Reserve Tank, Test Stand, Workshop).
