Mission Improvements:

• Now saves

• Emergency: some might have a time limit
  
• Threat level: you might need to kill a pirate near the station
  
• Interstellar travel: you might need to warp to a different system
  
• Text is randomized, there must be 150 row of text already (thanks to copilot...)

=> more missions will be added soon!

Also improved or added:

• Star and stations name
  
• Can dock automatically to fuel hub.

Turret have been refactored:
The player can now control how wide the turret will be able to rotate on the azimuthal and elevation axis (horizontal and vertical).
The best way to edit those values is by selecting the turret with a link tool and simply drag the various gizmo.

The old systems which baked automatically has been removed.
It was buggy in some case and could take a lot of time to compute triggering some freeze when entering a ship. With retrospect I should have done this in the first place, it would have saved my some time and headache!

The default setting is a 180 azimuthal rotation and 90 positive elevation.
As requested it is now possible to toggle off a turret even when it is being controlled: simply link a switch to it and turn the switch off.

Community Suggestion:

• #6026 Event gate and logic gate HUD info
  
• #6031 Ladder are now functional

• Hotfixes:

• #6027 Cannot use prefabs
  
• #6032 Fuel can be transferred to cargo.

=> I am now making a small library to add those kind of gizmo handle edit to other gates. I will add those to the shipyard and volumetric sensor. Do you see any use for other gates?

Thanks for playing!

This build adds a player equipment loadout system.
Place helmet and backpack module into their respective slots to gain some perks.

Module would give access to various perks:

• - Helmet would give light, scanner capability
  
• - Boot would yield locomotion bonus or capability, cancel fall damage ect
  
• - Multitool: mining/scavenging/shooting bonus
  
• - Backpack: storage perk, jetpack mode (jumpack vs 6dof), personal shield

For now we only have a jetpack and storage module as I have been focusing on the tech.

To be added:

• - Boot and multitool modules
  
• - More jetpack modules
  
• - Refined system where a helmet/backpack could give several module slots: ie Backpack I,II or III.

=> please suggest any modules you would think would be interesting to have!
