Repeated intro

Hello! We wish to please you with new update. Mostly it is preparation to new trading and AI, but also we have some bug fixes and improvements. First of all, all asteroids now relocated to large asteroid belt, it is more realistically, good looking and navigations in large asteroid belt is more easily than before. We like how it looks and we plan to improve it further by adding more stations and AI ships in further updates. Align camera rotation with ship - is returned back Planets do not have asteroids on its orbit, but each asteroid from the belt still fully physically simulated, so you be able to push it to the planet orbit if you wish. When missions will be implemented, we will add couple of missions with this task. New grid makes a navigation much easier Also we apologies for inconvenience for Mac users, we encountered strange issue during build and uploading and turned out that Mac users could not run the game during the week. Now this problem is solved and everything should runs okay. Note: Due new asteroid belt, previously saved worlds can't be loaded. Please start new game in order to play.
