A more active scanning hunt
- Hold C and aim toward a signal to investigate it. Use the mouse wheel to tune your search sector: scroll up to narrow it and down to widen it.
- Center the return and tune into the highlighted band to identify it. Signal strength and a progress ring show how your scan is progressing.
- Nearby passive signals help you find prospects. Bearings and distance estimates become more accurate as you investigate.
- Scanner pips now move smoothly, with retained contacts and off-screen arrows to help you follow a lead.
- Removed the scanner side-panel buttons. Release scan to return to your equipped tool.
- Controller: hold D-pad Up, aim with the right stick, and use D-pad Left/Right to tune. Tap C or D-pad Up for a broad survey pulse.
HUD and inventory fixes
- Fixed the thin yellow border that could appear around the flight view after closing inventory.
- Improved translated HUD text fitting and wrapping, including scanner and mining readouts.
- Cargo inspection now opens with Jettison collapsed and Cargo notes expanded, making item descriptions easier to read.
Translation improvements
- Added contextual corrections across French, Brazilian Portuguese and the reviewed portion of Spanish, including dialogue and story passages.
- Improved terminology for spacecraft, cargo, scanning, mining, docking, faction reputation and finances.
- Added targeted gameplay terminology corrections across the existing language set.
- The broader translation review is not yet complete. This update includes the corrections reviewed so far, with further language improvements still to come.
Trading and route planning
- The Load Planner now checks whether the destination permits selling the selected cargo before recommending a purchase, and checks again when you buy.
- Existing route manifests identify blocked buyers and explain recovery options.
- Cargo tied to a buyer you cannot trade with? Use Release Route Plan in the market’s Route Manifests section. You keep the cargo and can sell elsewhere. Releasing the plan forfeits that route’s Carrier XP and does not refund the purchase.
