- Rock Cave Archetype: Illuminated by bioluminescent mushrooms, these caves coming to Stanton, as well as the upcoming Pyro system, provide a unique atmospheric location for exploration, FPS missions, missing person missions, and more.
- Hangar Spawn Logic UpdatesWhen retrieving ships into newly created persistent hangars, we now also check for existing vehicles and store them. Also, when despawning ships we wait for async response to the vehicle owner query - (else we'll destroy ships where that's not been received yet). This avoids ships clipping into each other after spawning them into non-empty persistent hangars.

- Newly Updated Stanton Skybox
- Hangar Cargo Platform Lighting Polish Pass
- Improved Item Kiosk Camera Positioning
Core Tech : Graphics Settings Updates - Performance Improvements
- Graphics Settings UpdatesFullscreen mode has been adjusted to work more like full screen borderless. Selected resolutions in this mode causes the game to render in this resolution but the window always stays fullscreen. This now works with DSR (higher resolutions) as well as lower resolutions and can be combined with temporal upscaling. Some things like the console and UI will always be rendered in the native fullscreen resolution. Dedicated Borderless Mode will allow resolutions outside of monitor ratio (using 16:9 on a 32:9 monitor)
DLSS minimum resolution has been lowered from 1080p to 720p. Currently, picking a resolution with a different aspect ratio than the monitor can cause issues at the moment and will be fixed in later releases.
- Added GPU Graph Console CommandGiving players the ability to toggle on and off a frametime graph using the ~ console.
enabled: "r_displayFrameGraph 1"
- Additional Core Tech Updates
- Further Server and Networking Performance Optimizations
- Overall Ship/Vehicle Physics Network & Server Performance Optimizations

- Further Entity Spawner Reliability Improvements
- Server Physics Entity Rotation Performance Improvements
- Reduced Audio Mix Volume of Planetary Wind
