SPACERIFT: Arcanum System has received the "System Optimization" update!

Improved the hijacking and pirate surrender window.

Fixed an issue with confirming route suggestions from the OS Friend using the Y key.

Improved chat input field focus.

Fixed the main menu not opening with the Escape key.

Fixed issues with the pursuit algorithm in RTA (Role Task Action).

Fixed invincible NPCs getting stuck after reconnecting to the server.

Fixed the appearance of ghost pirate bases in the middle of sectors.

Fixed ore collection using the "pick up all" function.

The Role Task Action system has been improved; NPC freezes have been fixed, and combat strategies have been refined.
