[i][b]Quality of Life \[1.2.2] Out Now![/b][/i]

Greetings Ectypes!

With this patch we aim to make [b]QoL improvements[/b] and [b]fix[/b] some of the most annoying player-reported issues.

Thanks for the community for helping us out with these! [i]If you're having issues, don't hesitate to share them with us on our [b][url="https://discord.gg/joinvoidcrew"]Discord[/url][/b]![/i]

The inertia-zone

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.

Airlock Usability

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?).
