Quality of Life \[1.2.2] Out Now!
[p]Greetings Ectypes![/p][p]With this patch we aim to make QoL improvements and fix some of the most annoying player-reported issues.[/p][p]Thanks for the community for helping us out with these! If you're having issues, don't hesitate to share them with us on our Discord![/p][p][/p][p][/p]The inertia-zone
[p][/p][previewyoutube="i_IOfxNXQgE;full"][/previewyoutube][p]The inertia zone is an exterior bubble projected tightly around the player ship. When you enter it, you're automatically tethered to the movement of the ship - allowing you to jetpack around the inertia zone without fear of being left behind... as long as you don't accidentally touch a thruster and get launched off into space of course.[/p][p][/p][p][/p]Airlock Usability
[p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/43802314/c5354e0fb6b2c9226a0847f1aea76ad52f152166.png"][/img][/p][p]It's simple really: We made the Airlock doors interactive like the rest of the doors on the ship - this reduced the amount of buttons needed to operate the Airlock from 4 to 2! (Or just 1 if you don't touch the safety, but what's life without a little danger?).[/p][p][/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/43802314/9ba0a5bcbc715c5b75b4a89f2432e20512fd5a73.png"][/img][/p]General
