I know a lot of us have been playing "starfarer" for a while now, but I think the feature most worth the time invested in development time in this patch is the little tutorial messages. I got this for my brother for xmas and im sure he will enjoy it when he can get some free time to play. But it lead me to think that im familiar with the features of the game, but new players may confused without some guidance. Great work.
of course everything is awesome about the patch but that stood out above the rest =)
