Previously, space truckers mostly focused on finding out where a certain commodity was in demand by checking if there are any Trade Alerts happening. This is great for big profits, but the gameplay became a bit stale after a while.

So now, to make it more interesting, a new gameplay mechanic is introduced called'Special Buyers'.

Whenever you're carrying a commodity that is cheap, Special Buyers might appear. These are usually 2 parties that are interested in buying up your cargo for a premium. It's up to you to choose the one that suits you best.

Often the premium is just extra cash, but sometimes there might be a bonus added.

See if you can discover them all!

This was the most interesting one to mention, apart from this one there are also quite a lot of visual changes added throughout the game and some general fixes here and there.
