Physic rigidbodies have been migrated to the new Data-Oriented architecture to get some CPU performance improvements.
It will ultimately allow to offload the collisions detection and resolving to secondary thread, yielding a massive fps improvement and steady fps during collision heavy situations.
Again this was a heavy refactor, some regressions might have slipped through.

Bugfixes:

• #3550 Selecting a target will make some block disappears.
  
• #3541 #3512 Exit chain on a children entity teleport to the wrong place.
  
• #3557 Artifact in Space Habitat when moving fast.
  
• #3565 Warping to a new system does not end.
  

Thanks for playing!

Another day, another build!
Again more hotfixes are coming your way.
Turret have also been improved with a smaller memory footprint and a way to debug the collision map baked.

New Features:

Select the secondary turret rotator with the link to to display the turret allowed targeting position.



Bugfixes:

• #3536 #3546 Game breaks on ship unspawn.

The performance on the CPU side have been improved with some tasks being now multi-threaded and using Unity new Burst code compiling technology.
This build also introduces a much requested change allowing more freedom on the locomotion selection side.

This is the first of several steps that will greatly improve the game performance on the CPU side.
This is a critical step to allow gameplay: spawning many NPCs and having large space battles are very CPU intensive.

Changes

• The player can now select 6dof mode in a gravity environment. (#3255 #3251 #3430)
  
• The player can now stay on anti-g mode in a 0g environment.
  
• Bugfixes:
  
• #3493 Switch flat placement is sometime wrongly invalid.
