Initiating transmission. Commander, can you hear me?
I'm receiving a signal from multiple sources around the 'verse. It looks like one of our allies have discovered a beacon with some sort of encrypted message. Here's what we managed to translate so far. Scroll to the bottom for the short version!

'Oculus Touch' Controller Model and Settings
A new controller option was added, along with angle settings to make controlling the Alliance more comfortable and customization. The Oculus Touch controller will now appear in game when utilizing this system. And make sure to adjust the new Angle Settings for increased comfort!
Colony Ships' Movement Upgraded
The beacon contained a hidden code that we can use to help our allies dock and leave docking correctly. This will fix their forward alignment and will make those tasks feel a lot more natural.
Our ST-3v3 unit also managed to install this new code on its own circuits, and will now leave the system if it loses sight of the Alliance ship.
Fixed Scores
There was a small issue with the score counters, causing scores to be calculated incorrectly. This will no longer happen, as part of this mysterious encrypted code seems to have the correct formulas. I love technology!
This also means all existing highscores will be reset. It's time to jump to the next sector and leave your mark on the leaderboards!
We also installed Advanced Image Preceptors that will allow systems to be visualized with more fidelity. Shiny graphics!
