===== 2026 =====

==== 0.35 ====
**//06.23.2026//**

**New Features:**

  * **Objects window:** A dedicated UI window lists every object currently detected within your sensor range, updated in real time as contacts enter or leave.
  * **Direct target designation:** Mark a target from the new Objects window and your ship will automatically engage and fire on it.
  * **Automatic red alert:** The red alert state now self-clears as soon as no enemies remain in sensor range.
  * **Sector-based economy:** Each sector maintains its own supply and demand profile, so item prices shift per sector — where you buy and sell now matters.
  * **Localization overhaul:** All translated text was revised for clarity, consistency, and tone across supported languages.
  * **CJK character update:** The Chinese, Japanese, and Korean character sets were refreshed so newly localized strings render correctly.
