The game will now default to a higher level of control, with starships handling combat without your assistance, although you can always step in and take manual control. Trained personnel now have more of an effect than they did before and sport an easier means of training. Starships now use a docking configuration popup to set up their components, no more manually transfering components from worlds to starships. When a starship docks at one of its worlds, it will be updated according to its docking configuration. Will be posting new screen shots soon.
Freighters are the main means of gathering resources and taking territory in the game.
To make matters worse, the features that I added to try and introduce new players to the game was only confusing and frustrating them. I have fixed the Freighter bug and am working on revamping the self-help aspect of the game. Hope to have a new version available in about a week.
