'''NEW HUD'''
The placeholder HUD has been revamped and almost completely replaced with a new design.
* Critical resources are now shown bottom left of the screen.
* The toolbar is replaced with a set of icons.
* The different views are now a vertical stack of buttons in the bottom right of the screen.
* A new indicator top left shows the ship name, author, Hull status, Atmosphere status, and Power status.
* Shipyard services now appear at the top of the screen. (Repair ship, Buy ship, Sell ship, Fabricate ship)
'''Note:''' The old HUD is still used temporarily in two areas that are unfinished:
* Construction popup
* Fleet orders popup
'''Story Episodes changes'''
* Completely revamped introduction (much shorter), with a new ship and a new tutorial.
* The Stargate industry introduction has been removed. It will return as a story episode soon.
* All story episodes are now "discovered" on the sector map, rather than the Contracts screen.
* New gold highlights and tooltips for all special episode locations on the sector map.
* '''"Black Hole Sun"'''
** Part 3 Hidden until Julian calls you when he is ready to rescue his brother. The episode is then automatically accepted.
** The Black Hole Sun 3 'Short Hop' system is no longer a large distance away across the map.
** Fix Julian's ship from Black Hole Sun 3 being able to jump to any system.
** Fix any ship being able to rescue Marcus in Black Hole Sun 3, and not just Julian.
* '''"The trouble with Tiddlets"''' has returned, and is now a playable episode (Part 1 only, for now).
'''SMALL CHANGES'''
* NPC ships will now order critical supplies when in a trading location (Fuel, Oxygen, Water, Crew, Spacesuits) when required.
* When highlighting any piece of equipment, the extra tooltip information will only show when the ship is one of your fleet.
* Allow to transfer/cancel transfer entire stack by ctrl clicking.

* FTL drives on the selected ship are now preferred when choosing a drive for a hyperspace jump.
* The camera is now attached to the ship when in TACTICAL view, the same as normal view.
* Clicking a Location Link in the Missions Window or Missions Summary now also sets that system as an FTL destination.
* Location Links for mission objectives will no longer appear in the Missions Summary after that objective has been completed.
* You can now collapse mission summaries the same way as rating, by right-clicking to close and left-clicking to open.
* You can now filter search in all tabs of the trade window.
* The trade window now defaults to 'all items' instead of being blank.
* Change the end of the introduction tutorial to fit with new episode discovery.
* Galaxy map now has special indicators for episodes:
** Episode starting systems are now gold.
** Regular systems you need to visit as part of an episode have a gold outline.
** Any system with a Location Link to it as part of an episode now has a tooltip on the map to see what you need to do there.
* The 'STARGATE' location now has a normal location name - NG0.
* Drones now treat actual salvage as higher priority over raw materials.
* When you start a New Game your ship is now 'inside' a shipyard.
* Save files are now filtered when saving a game.
'''BUG FIXES'''

* Fix ships undocking from each other when they are all FTL jumping in survival and creative mode.
* Fix the tutorial window blocking input to the game world after the tutorial is over.
* Fix it looking like you have placed a storage zone in the output of a docking port. Instead, the visual is cancelled immediately.
* Fix bug where you cannot interact with the tutorial window while the map is open.
