About the new Inventory system:

While being quite rudimentary, we implemented a list-matrix inventory that updates itself with your collected items. It will still undergo some iterations to be able to scoop cargo selectively once equipment is added to the loot and management tables.

The current database holds up to 50 different items, currently without description, which is to follow. To see what you collected, press I and hover over the item.

About the New Systems:

Thanks to kopretina, we now have two systems for each faction, namely Luna, Earths’ moon, Terra, Earths’ Sector, Kurai and Sirius B for the Sirians, Scire and Arctur for the Orionids as well as Debug Testing Sectors for those interested in checking out different scenarios.

Upcoming for the next update 0.1.4:

For 0.1.4 we aim for a solid trading system with Indexes on Activity, Mining and several visual upgrades to sector and Stations

We all hope you will like this update and are looking forward to hear your feedback in the comments or on our Discord!
