Replaced every ship sprite with higher quality sprites, as well as replacing the asteroid and space station sprites. Ships now also have more consistent colour schemes to make it easier to identify which faction they belong to.

Completely overhauled planet visuals, with higher resolution sprites and much larger planets!

Added multiple variants of nebulae clouds, now with 4 different types.

Improved storm and nebulae visuals. Both can now obfuscate ships flying through it.

Planet defence systems are now stationary at a random point on the planet, now pointing to face targets and destroying any hostile ships or asteroids passing by.

Added full key bind remapping! The starting tutorial has been updated to reflect the chosen binds too.

Added spawning suns, ships that get too close will take sustained damage from the high temperature. How many suns you discover will be displayed on the statistics screen. An achievement was also added for finding one!

Updated the bounty system! Your bounty level now cools down over time if you stop attacking a particular faction. A pointer arrow directing you to the bounty sender has been added, and the delay between the bounty ending and the sender being destroyed has been fixed as has the bounty levels not considering new factions. The bounty level has been increased bounty to 6, making bounties less frequent.
