Repeated intro

Hello! No news from us for a long time, but we are ready to show you some new and interesting features. First of all, we worked on new trading and AI, as result, now we have completely new trading system, now it's not just the simple buttons to buy or sell, but a station with real cargo holds and dynamic prices depending on the quantity of goods that it has. Unfortunately, we don't have time to finish the AI for NPC traders flying between these stations, now it's more of an interim update, but now the trade looks much closer to what we want in the final version. Check the changelog for detail information.

addedImprovementsAdded new trading system instead of previous one, which was a "simple temporary system", now this system is more like we want to see, however it still pretty raw and will be improved during further updates. Also it cannot functional properly without AI traders which is also will be added later.
removedImprovementsOur in-game manual (on F1) is removed (it was not very useful) and replaced with the button which will open this guide in Steam overlay. Thanks for community member Lemodile for this detailed and relevant guide!
changedImprovementsResource distribution in asteroids is changed. Most asteroids have only one type of resource, some rare asteroids have 2 types of resources, and very rare - 3 types. Also it is possible to find asteroids with 4 and more types of resources, but the chance Is extremely low. Also, sectors with the same resource is aligned to each other. This change is implemented in order to make sense to fly from one asteroid to another, build several mining stations or assemble several asteroids in single mining base.
changedImprovementsFont in various interface elements is changed (but not in all, others will be changed later)
addedImprovementsResource transfer panel is redesigned. Allows to transfer lesser amounts and shows new amounts in both storages. Also it is used to trade with stations
