The new skill UI looks absolutely awesome. The old one was functional, but didn't really look that good. The new one is both functional, and looks great. Nice work there.
The new effects for the tachyon lance sounds interesting, I'll have to try it again when the new version is released.
The prometheus sounds good, another target to horribly murder and earn money and EXP from
The shield change for the Aurora sounds interesting, I'm looking forward to seeing what that does for balance. Probably not anything on my main character, I don't use them, and only use one ship.
The new graphics for the needler sounds interesting, looking forward to seeing that.
And I didn't personally experience any of the bugs you fixed, but that's always nice to hear.
