Newcomer / Intro Anything noteworthy in 1.1

So im sitting here waiting for the download to finish. Just curious...anything worth checking out after the new update?

The new route-plotting system is a huge improvement.

Community goal areas.

Selling exploration data by the page (when they get it running correctly).
 
Viper with A-spec kit and a shield cell bank = 115% power usage; I took the SCB off and fitted military bulkheads. Good luck getting my shields down though - I do a mean impression of brave Sir Robin.
 
Elite NPC Anacondas are now much, much harder to beat. Used to eat them for breakfast in my Eagle, now I could barely knock down its shields.

On a related subject, chaff ammo has been reduced to 11, shield cell bank has been reduced overall and release heat when going through a 5-second charging timer.

They're more aggressive too. I've noticed a greater variety of kill missions as well. Federal Dropships for the same kinds of bounties, and Eagles for ~40kcr.
 
Planets are definitely prettier and the ambient and engine sounds have been tweaked too.

Also accidentally shooting a cop while bounty hunting no longer incurs an instant issuing of a death warrant!
 
The new route planning is night and day.. 1000LY range and a much, much faster calculation speed. It really improved the game for me.
 
Exploration is much better! I like the fact that you can now choose which star you want(within reason ofc) to travel to and boom, map it out. This makes it so much nicer and the credit you and others get for discoveries is fun.

I love choosing a nice star system and as you travel to it(fingers crossed), hoping no one has discovered yet and if they have you get the fun of cursing them out(their name on monitor anyway) as your family looks at you all weird. j/k, I love seeing other names knowing someone has journeyed out here too.

There's more but am waking up now and it's time to fire up the Asp...
 
After reading this I went to test it.
I can plot a route from Sukree to Lave in a Viper with 8ly jump range!
Wow, yes. Looks to be fixed I'd say.

Yes, this is a game changer.

No more manually plotting a route at the half-way point through a 100+LY journey. Just click and launch.

Now they just need to make "fastest route" the default option... Not that it really matters that much any more as it's so much faster at calculating.
