In the update, the developers have introduced 10 item pools, 2 attributes for companions, 4 perks for ships of each class, 4 catalysts for crafting and 15 wing modules.

Players can now reroll bonus attributes, as well as take advantage of random hull paint patterns.
Improvements have also been made to the soundtrack.
The game has finally received macOS support. The devs warn that the game's performance on hardware with an M2 or weaker processor may be unsatisfactory.
