Your reports help us improve the game much faster, and this first hotfix focuses on stability, bug fixes, and quality-of-life improvements.[/p][hr][/hr][h2] Fixes[/h2]

[hr][/hr][h2] Recommendations & Notes[/h2]

• [p]We STRONGLY recommend starting a new game instead of using older save files.
  This will help ensure a stable and consistent full-release experience.[/p][p]Note: If you’re unsure whether you’re still on an older build, open the Character Talent Tree. If you notice any empty or non-interactive skill slots, even a single one, you are playing an outdated version[/p]
• [p]The quick action previously bound to CTRL + H is now mapped to the L key.[/p]
• [p]When you're piloting a different ship and your mothership is too far to allow warping, you can summon it to your position at any time through the Signals panel in the top-right corner.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h2]Announcement[/h2][p]Subtitle support is still in development and will not be included in this hotfix.
It will be added in a future update. Thank you for your patience and understanding![/p]
