Player Update #2

Hello everyone!

We hope you’ve been enjoying the game, and that last week’s update helped fix some issues! As always, meeting new players and hearing everyone's ideas since Early Access release has been really helpful in making X8 an even better game. With your help, we’ve been able to fix even more things!
More updates will continue to come down the pipeline to you all. The more feedback and issues you bring to us, the better the game will be as time goes on. Join us on Discord to provide us with your feedback! https://discord.gg/x8vr
