Mechanic/Feature Updates:

• Ledger of prices of all trade goods at every station and the ability to sort by highest or lowest price. The ledger updates every 10 minutes (affected by time multiplier) to allow for some margin-of-error for the player.  
• Added the ability to purchase stations! Only stations currently not owned by a faction at war with your faction can be purchased.
• Death removing members from fleet.
• Increased screen-shake on damage taken for more feedback.
• Different types of weapons do different amounts of damage to armor vs shield. Missiles have bonus damage vs shields, and blasters/lasers do more damage to armor.

• The game pauses when escaping from captors to give the player time to react.

Graphical/UI Updates:

• Highlight on hover for planets and a graphical response when clicking.
• In Combat HUD changes. Increasing information portrayed to player and making it match the style of the game better by making it flatter to fit the simplistic style. Still a WIP.

• Text for settlement names and commanders are now colored based on status towards player. Red being enemies and blue being allies.
• Redesigned smoke graphics for missiles.
