Font size - I have been in the process of increasing it, but it will take a few versions to do it fully. Some people are not keen on the new font and others have complained about the old font being too small. I have found it hard to find a font that it both easy to read and looks good on all different resolutions. So if anyone has a recommendation for a font, please feel free to suggest it.

Thanks for your patience while I sort it out

Ive been adding in behind the scenes things in preparation for some new multiplayer features including adding some more PvP options as well as fixing multiplayer errors: I want to add a feature where players can create their own pvp 'matches' like classic deathmatches, team deathmatches etc. I will also add the sharing missions feature. Also as mentioned in the notes, I think it would be cool if you could see where other friendly players are via the star system map.

Im working as hard as I can on this, theres lots to do between bug fixing and adding new stuff. Feel free to come and chat on the discord if you want to contribute ideas etc

• Some Halloween surprises added + new seasonal weapon (will have to wait till later in the month to get it)
