Update 2.0 Newsflash - Autopilot, QoL and the new Sector Overview

[h2]Autopilot[/h2]
It has happened to everyone at some point: you try to dock at the station and the nose of your ship nudges the airlock but it still isn’t properly docked. The procedure should actually be much easier. And this is where the autopilot comes into play! In the future, you will be able to select your target station in strategy mode and simply give your ship the command to head for it. Docking is completely automatic!
Additionally, the autopilot is capable of many other cool things:
Have you ever wished you could just sit back and watch your ship do its thing? With the autopilot, that's no longer a problem! As long as you are in the same sector as your ship, you can, for example, instruct it to fly across the sector, mine an asteroid, or even attack someone. While your ship carries out the order, you just relax and enjoy the show! However, you need to be in the same sector as your ship to use this feature. To give orders to ships in other sectors you will still need a captain. And, as we all know, accomplished captains are way too proud to let an autopilot do their work for them ;)

How many stations have you clicked through to find the right crew members? Probably quite a few... In the future, we would like to make both the search for the right crew members as well as the buying and selling of goods easier and more convenient for you. With update 2.0 we improved the sector overview to allow you to find out much faster which station in the sector has exactly what you are looking for! Simply switch to Strategy Mode and look through the available stations to get an overview of which goods are bought or sold, which missions are available, and which crew members you can find at which station. Afterwards you only have to select the station, fly there and save a lot of time!
While we're on the subject of sectors:
Be sure to stop by an Equipment Dock and pick up the new Sector Label Applicator! Once you have activated it in a sector of your choosing, a beacon will appear and you can give the sector a new name. You can rename the sector as often as you like using the same beacon, as long as nobody destroys it. However, the label applicator only works in sectors that are controlled by you or your alliance, after all, you don't want the name of a sector to incite a war with the locals.
