This new update will mean a re-design of your ships, so be warned. The flight model has been reworked and you now need to make use of three new blocks: Directional Thruster, Gyro Array, Inertia Dampeners.
It also introduces a group system, so you can group up with fellow pilots to explore and conquer the galaxy. You will see members of your group display on-screen and on the map, making it easy to find each other.
There's also now a server browser, making it much easier to join servers if you're planning to do some online play. The developer also enabled password-protected servers, making it a bit more friendly to manage if you want to restrict it to a community (like GOL).
It also includes tons of bug fixes of course, making the entire experience more stable.
I am thinking about running a server for it, but I need to know if there's interest in it. Let me know in the comments if you would be interested in it. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

Quoting: CybolicIf only it ran at anywhere near acceptable framerates on my 3440x1440 screen, I'd love to jump on multiplayer but it's unfortunately a bit of a slideshow currently.
Uh-oh. This may apply to me too then.
I'm curious - what FPS are you seeing?

About 12 FPS with everything on low/ultra low/off and bloom turned off and 5 FPS with bloom on. This is on a GTX 970 OC where Total War Warhammer runs fluidly so there's definitely something up with the game.

That's great news. I think I'm going to buy it.
