Biggest change is the dock telemetry. We used to calculate the position once per frame based on an epoch and the orbital parameters. Now the server actually runs these calculations and progresses the orbit and synchronizes the epoch with the client when you log in! This was done to reduce slight precision errors we have seen develop over the last 15 years since the server was started. It also lightens the computational load that the client is responsible for!

Also in this release:

• Fix for C-2A and A-4 interior texture oddities
  
• Enhancements for admin tools (orbital rendezvous testing, dock reposition)
  
• Bank rebranding project is complete, signs installed!

• Fix for subtitle scale and position
  
• Fixes for ground vehicles that were able to get onto their sides

It is still pretty early in the implementation but we have added a Battle Royale variation to the game. When a Battle Royale is scheduled there will be a TFR (Temporary Flight Restriction) posted on the Player Portal. If you want to be included, be in the TFR at the start of the match. Last player standing wins! New achievements and badges are already available.



The new Polaroid inventory item (from the O-4 Salvage bonuses) is now visible in all vehicle types.

Closed Captioning is now available for ATC communications (Configuration->Interface->Closed Captioning) and is translated to the language of your choice.
