Endurance Update: First Impressions

 Captures are from a creative save with about 80 hours of play time. 

There are some reports of freighter layouts getting corrupted, in my case I had no real trouble. I did lose my teleporter and the trade terminal, everything else was pretty much the same. The only glitching was in areas with stickers if a particular room changed to the new style with faceted walls. 

It *was* confusing as hell to walk around the first few minutes. After an hour or so it feels completely natural. The biggest change of course is that they basically re-invented freighter construction. There are also a lot of quality-of-life tweaks. For example you can now teleport back to a freighter. And you can teleport from your freighter to a frigate to inspect or fix it. You can also recruit additional living frigates like Leviathan, you will need to build a Dream Aerial, which is a reward from a frigate expedition. I got mine the next time a frigate expedition ended, and it took just a few minutes to figure out how to find and recruit a second living frigate. 

You can also feed the living frigates, every time you do so it'll shuffle the statistics for the frigate. 

It isn't perfect, for example the Teleport doesn't want to work when approached from the front, and I can't spawn the construction specialist. The science specialist spawned within the desk of its workstation and I can't talk to them at all. The Flight Assist Override starship module doesn't seem to do anything, it is supposed to allow ships to drift. 

Here is some of the stuff I have found by far:

New cargo area for freighters. 

Dream Aerial, you'll need this to find additional Living Frigates. 

You can now teleport back to a freighter. 

Placing a bulkhead door on an outside wall allows you to build exterior catwalks and platforms.

No more ramps, you now use ladders to change levels. This is proving to be an extremely unpopular change, a lot of people prefer the ramps even if they waste space. 

Stellar Extraction Core, it harvests materials from orbit, depending on the system. 

Notice that you can now teleport to a frigate (to inspect or repair) from the fleet management menu.

If it is a living frigate, there's a feeding command, every time you feed it, it'll shuffle its statistics. 

The Agricultural Specialist now has a room instead of just a workstation. 

The Large Refiner gets its own room. 

The Orbital Exocraft  Materialiser has a new look. 

External catwalk combined with external platform. 

The Teleport is now a room. 

Notice the two teleporters in the hangar, these take you to the bridge. 

New look for the storage modules. 

The Scanner Room allows you to discover all of the planets/moons in a system without landing. 

The new glass corridor with a bulkhead door. 

New look for the fleet command room. 

The green stairs and hallway point you towards the buildable area for the freighter. 

These two teleporters take you to the hangar. 

The Trade Terminal is now a room, and it follows you as you walk around it.
