Industrial Resource Gathering missions introduce a new mission type where factions contract you to acquire specific resources through various industrial gameplay loops. Unlike cargo hauling where shipments are provided, these missions require you to locate and gather the requested materials yourself using mining, refining, salvaging, scavenging, gathering, and even pirating activities across the Stanton, Pyro, and Nyx systems.
Core Gameplay
Accept contracts requesting specific resources from mission givers and deliver to the requested location through the freight elevator
Mining: Extract minerals and raw ores using FPS mining tools, ground vehicles (ROC), or mining ships (Prospector, MOLE)
Salvaging: Scrape hulls for RMC, disintegrate ship structures for rubble/parts, or scavenge vehicle components from wrecks
Refining: Process raw ores sand scraps into refined materials at refinery stations
Mission Providers & Reputation
Shubin Interstellar: Specializes in mining and refining contracts. Build reputation to unlock more challenging mining missions with better rewards
Adagio Holdings: Focuses on salvage and construction material contracts. Progress through reputation ranks to access expert salvaging opportunities

Adding the ability for Vehicle Cockpits to support light amplification (similar to NVGs) in order to better facilitate gameplay at low/no light conditions.
Enabled and disabled with Right Alt + L by default while in a pilot or co-pilot seat, this system uses the vehicle style shader to amplify the lighting through the cockpit glass itself. This means that all players on the ship looking through the cockpit glass will see this amplification. This system is independent of operator modes and will function within any of them.
In this current release, not all ships are supported but are planned to be updated with LAMP in future releases. Currently supported ships include the Avenger series, Eclipse, Gladius Series, Retaliator, Sabre Series, Hornet Series, Arrow, Gladiator, Hawk, Hurricane, Lightning F8C, Terrapin/Medic, Mole, Defender, Mustang Series, Nomad, Ares Ion/Infernal, Intrepid, Buccaneer, Cutlass Series, Golem/Ox, Vulture, Blade, Glaive, Prowler/Utility, L-21, L-22, P-52, P-72, Fortune, Prospector, Razor Series, Reliant Series, Fury Series, 300 Series, 85x, X1 Series, Salvation, Scorpius/Antares, Scythe, Sanâtok.yai, Pisces Series, MPUV Series.
