-Ships: Now the look of ships & turrets are unified and there are new ships for each class: Fighter, Capitol Ship, Pirate Frigate & Shuttle.
-Factions: Now ships belong to one of 4 of the largest factions in your galaxy and may be allies or enemies (check your star map for faction info).
-Space Battles: Ships and turrets will go blast-nuts on each other if they get close enough and they're on opposing factions, which means random laser fights will break out spontaneously :) Some odd behavior shows up but sometimes the fights are truly spectacular, while testing I saw a single fighter take out a fully loaded pirate frigate in a 1:1 battle!
-Ally Ships: As a by-product of factions you now can obtain ally ships to follow you around and start fights with the Empire of Death.
-New Anomalies: Now you can find 3 new types of refractive, shifting and nebulous anomalies waiting for you in the void!
-Star System Randomness: New code is in place to make the systems look more organic and distinct from each other.
-X & Y Control Inversion Option: Now under the "Invert Controls" option there's a "Full" value that inverts both axis of analog input if you're into that kind of stuff. Thanks to The Belated Gentleman for the idea!
-Performance Improvements: After adding all of this new content I paid careful attention to the profiler and reigned in a bucket full of poorly performing assets and bits of code for a noticeably smoother framerate!
