Default Re: Peculiar Planets Version 0.5. - Finally Here!

Okay, some quick thoughts:

I'm liking the new colour palette - it does make the game a lot creepier/lonelier. The new races are all quite interesting and powerful. Some good new items too. However, it took me a while to figure out what represented nebulas on the starmap, and even now I'm still a bit unsure. It does make it harder to navigate as you mentioned, which is both good and bad. I suppose I'll have to get used to it (and hey, it means the nebular extent calculator is useful now).

Also, I experienced a crash to desktop when I arrived at a star, just after hearing the 'star is occupied' sound. Might be a problem with one of the new races?

Anyway, I'm enjoying it so far...
