Default Career mode difficulty now defaults to Ensign/Builder.
Each star system now has four exploration missions that require 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% of the ? icons to be explored. (Not retroactive for already-generated star systems.)
Added an "I Hate Salvaging" advanced Career mode option which, if enabled, will turn off resource drops from salvaged/destroyed ships, double credit rewards for missions, and allow the player to make ship construction changes anywhere for only credits.
Airlocks can now be powered off to prevent crew from using them.
When playing on Steam Deck or in Big Picture Mode, clicking on a text input box will now display the virtual keyboard.
Removed the "Ancient" class of ships. Any existing Ancient ships (including some FTL Relays in existing saves) will be replaced with 1/4 sized Terran versions.
New music tracks and updates.
