Repeated intro

Hey space brains! This is a fancypants update that is both fancy + pantsy, if you haven't played for a while this build is worth checking out imo.

The new stuff

-System Color Palettes: Now the randomly generated star systems have a randomly chosen hand-made palette associated with them that gets factored into the random color of objects in the system, making each spot look more unique and unified at the same time! -3 New Weapons: -Ray Cutlass: Are you the space ninja we've been looking for? Cut a fool with the new shiny laser sword for your Planetship! -Dimension Saw: With this you can plow through your enemies and saw everything in twain. -The Seeker / Swarm Missiles: Swarm missiles now act more like something from macross and The Seeker is now the longer lasting enemy tracking assassin-class projectile that continues to track your most recently acquired target. -New Game+++++++: After finding a habitable planet you can scope out the area around your new home and continue your space trek with a skeleton crew that needs little food or water.

This means you can focus on what's important

exploring the multiverse and shooting at space stuff! -Astrophotography: Double detail for star systems thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope and all the wonderful images it's brought us! There are now twice as many astrophotography shots in the library for the procedural generation, giving more visual life to the systems.
