Here are the fixes/improvements for this patch.

1. -Instructions are unclear.

   
   

   1. Added an Objective Pointer at the front of the ship that can be toggled on or off using U
2. Esc menu does not pause the game.
   1. Esc menu now pauses the game.
3. Not enough NPC ships
   1. Doubled the amount of NPC ships and encounters
4. Towers start shooting you before you see them.
   1. Reduced engagement range of towers by 25%
5. Ship speed feels very slow when traversing long distances
   1. This ship is one of the strongest in the game - it is meant to be slow as a kind of debuff or it would be too strong.
      That said, I have increased the speed by 15%!   
6. 0 speed is not zero, you still move a bit.
   1. Added Anchor button in UI (\) Display will show 1 for the lowest speed, and 0 for the anchored state.
7. Died abruptly even though my health had not reached zero(could have something to do with me finding a reset ship location button on my keyboard ?)
   1. Removed some Debug code I had left in from a few months back!
8. Also after clicking the location reset button i could no longer rotate my camera while sailing unless i used LMB or RMB which rotated the camera to either left or right(could have something to do with me abusing the free roaming camera which i also found by mashing random buttons)
   1. No longer possible as reset button is now disabled.   
9. A ship i was trying to shoot at just took a nap before i could hit it, not sure what happened there.(see screenshot)
   1. Those ships are super weak, he hit a little bit of terrain at high-ish velocity and insta-sunk. I removed all ships of that type from the demo.
10. Night is too dark & incredibly diffficult to see anything during night time, and it feels like it lasts a bit too long.

    
    

    1. Night time is now set to last only 3 minutes - I like that its super dark as when you're fighting the island during the night its more difficult. I can change the brightness in future pending more feedback.
11. Explanation / Tutorial is needed.
    1. Initial loading screen shows F1 tips. Press F1 to view the help screen. It has been updated.

Thanks so much and I'm glad you're enjoying the Demo! Keep the feedback and issues coming! :)
