 ===== Latest Public Release =====
-**Version 0.36** — Released June 27, 2026
+**Version 0.43** — Released 2026-10-01
-This update improves the way ships behave in space. NPC ships now react more dynamically, pirates use more varied behavior patterns, and civilian ships move and respond in a more natural way. The update also adds a new hyperspace arrival effect and expands repair options during exploration.
+Version 0.43 introduces a quest-based tutorial that guides you from your first flight through research, ship upgrades, exploration, blueprints and combat, while also rebalancing early progression and fixing missing Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters.
 Highlights:
-  * **Smarter NPC behavior** — pirates and civilian ships react more naturally, NPCs can flee into hyperspace when heavily damaged
+  * **Quest-based tutorial** — Ten quests guide your first flight, research, ship upgrades, exploration, blueprints and combat
-  * **Sector repairs** — repair your ship at space stations inside sectors (3× the cost of your home station)
+  * **Quest journal and contextual guidance** — Track objectives, progress and rewards, with keyboard and controller hints
-  * **Hyperspace arrival effect** — new visual effect when ships jump out of hyperspace
+  * **Rebalanced early progression** — Adjusted research, ship-system and sector costs, supported by milestone bonuses
+  * **CJK character rendering** — Fixed missing Chinese, Japanese and Korean characters
