Greetings surveyors!

This release brings a vertical slice of new features, enhancements, and fixes based on your feedback from the first week since release. It includes three new milestones to gauge your progress, auto-targeting for the scanner, a new visual status bar, and a lot more! Following this larger update, I will be taking a short break from the project to recharge for its next phase of expansion development.

Thanks again for your feedback and support as I work through your feedback and make performance optimizations. In the meantime, I’d love if you could write an honest review just in time for Steam’s Space Exploration Fest, beginning on September 2.

Enjoy!
