'''New Episodes'''
Work continues on a series of hand crafted story episodes, designed to pull new players into the game and provide some excellent adventures for existing players.
* Black Hole Sun - Part 1
* Black Hole Sun - Part 2
* Black Hole Sun - Part 3
* A wolf in Sheeps Clothing - Part 3
'''New Tutorials'''
These are short tutorials and are generally incorporated into the story episodes. But will pop up whenever you are trying to do these things for the first time:
* Docking Tutorial
* Mining Tutorial
* Combat Tutorial
* Crew transfer Tutorial
'''Performance'''
* Large improvement to drones when searching for repair works.
* Reduced the particle density on ships arriving and departing, to help with performance
* Make FindNearby only look at given layer and given object type if object type given. Helps with drone performance.
* Calculate incoming quantities of each container only once in TryStoreCargo, improves WorkQueue Update performance.
'''Text Input'''
* You can now filter any long list of files/saves/ships etc by typing a short word
* You can now freely move the cursor in a text field and delete characters in any position.
** 'LEFT' or 'RIGHT' to move the cursor backwards or forwards one character.
** 'HOME' or 'DOWN' to move the cursor to the beginning of the input.
** 'END' or 'UP' to move the cursor to the end of the input.
** 'DEL' now forward deletes text in a text input field.
'''SMALL CHANGES'''
* The game mode 'Survival' is now locked until the player completes phase 1 of the stargate
* The game mode 'Free Roam' is now locked until the player completes the 'Flight Ready' mission in Creative or Survival mode
* Nb. Both modes can be easily unlocked by editing the preferences.txt file:
    UnlockSurvival    true
    UnlockFreeRoam    true
* Battle Stations button is now available in Tactical mode
* Changed drone behaviour to look to use any available Drone Bays
* FTL user interface improved. You can now include other ships after clicking the Prepare Jump button
* Clicking Prepare Jump from the System Map will now prepare a jump with just that ship, even if another jump is in progress.
* The OPPOSITION system that sends hostiles to attack the Stargate on a timer has been completely disabled (it sucked)
* Mining Laser now require to be installed either in a wall (like the guns) or on a piece of scaffold.
* When installing Mining Lasers they will now auto-rotate to fit the wall/scaffold.
* Allow to buy/sell entire stack by ctrl clicking.
