Update 7 Released

Hey everyone! Update 7 is up on the main branch, here are the notes:

Improvements:

  • Complete overhaul of Strikecraft camera system, collisions should feel less jarring and flying fighters should feel much more dynamic. Holding the camera swap button (default 'z') now lets you look around.
