Attempted the new Intrepid Explorer I award. Successfully explored a danger 24 wild zone, but when I recorded my exploits it did not give the award.
Love the new ship upgrade layout with descriptions!

Well I haven't had time to try most of the new features, but the changes to the ship upgrades screen alone make this an excellent update. Considering you must have your hands full with the other rpg in development it's quite a feat that you keep releasing so many updates, keep it up guys!  |

Yeah! My escape pod wish has come true! This has got to be one of the best updates yet...a monster list of great improvements resulted in an "unbridled joy" reaction in the supermarket line while I read the update (including childlike micro jumping and the repeated use of the words "sweet" and "yes"). 3.2 is like a christmas present. Thank you Cory...for all the fantastic, continuous work.

Auto waypoints: How does it pick which waypoint to hit next? Is it in order from the top of the list? I'd like to be able to sort contracts by distance to waypoint, faction, value, and time until expiration.

The sorting request is moving it's way to the top of the pile =) There will be a Menu for Contracts (and Conflicts, Rumors) that lets you pick sort field That one just wasn't coming in as much as "WTF DO THE UPGRADES DO?"  |
