To speedup the game play, especially the early game,
The spaceship now has an afterburner (boost) and a sideburner (strafing) !
Gamepad: B and Shoulderbuttons
Keyboard: TAB and left/right Shift key
Additionally a big credits freighter appears from time to time, which loads its warpdrive to escape, during this time you can shoot it down to get its cargo, but hurry up, it won't last long in the vacuum of space.
The HUD has also been improved, the enemy movement in the radar is now finer, and the HUD now also shows the shields and afterburner status.
