addedBy the way, during development of new solar panels we encounter some funny result :)
addedAs you can see, transition to 3D gives us new possibilities in design, so now we can create some really interesting designs. For example grabbers now actually grabs asteroids / unwary opponents!
addedAlso you may note that background became darker. It is still little bit blue, because 100% grey color looks not very well, at least for now. Stars is little bit larger and background nebulas slightly optimized, as result, seems like the space looks more pleasant and natural. This update requires a little bit more time than we expected, most of things already done, but we still need to add several 3D modules and some functionality, for example new effects for shields and ion engines, adapted for 3D. We will keep you informed about progress :) Steam post image

And here is how it looks from top-down.
