This update is manly focused on bug fixes, but also includes a tutorial for new players and the Triton region to explore.
New Features:

• New player tutorial, appears after selecting first crew

  • Teaches basics of the stations; brief and skippable

  • No “replay” option yet for veterans; we’ll share videos and may add that later

Content:
Triton: We’ve discovered a slipgate to Neptune’s largest moon, and it is swarming with enemies.
New hard region, 2 sectors, mostly battles. Requires a coordinated and high-level crew to complete.

• New framerate settings for iOS and Android:

  • Option to set FPS cap at 60 or 30

  • Option to turn on FPS monitor

  • Turns off some animation and lighting effects that may be taxing older devices. ON by default for desktop and iOS, OFF for Android.

  • If you have a newer Android device, feel free to enable
