▶ Each galaxy now flies different.

The three galaxies aren't just labeled hard — they finally feel different. Three physics knobs ladder across all three.

ORION hugs the brakes: strong drag, pickups everywhere, magnetism scoops loot to your hull. ANDROMEDA lets you coast: balanced drag, balanced density, balanced friction. CYGNUS is pure Newton: no drag at all, pickups are scarce, magnetism is gone.

Learn to stop in ORION. Earn your speed in CYGNUS.

// FIXES

  • Google sign-in works again. An OAuth origin-mismatch was locking new pilots out at the door. The redirect URL is now correctly registered for the production domain — Continue with Google does what it says.

  • Mouse aim, take three. The Crosshair hot-fix caught one oscillation mode; pilot feedback flushed out another — cursor still, ship still hunting. Tightened the controller further. Should be glued to your cursor now.

    · #35
  • Radar pickup positions are honest. Other pilots rendered correctly on radar; pickups didn't. The coordinate transform now agrees with itself — that yellow diamond on the radar is genuinely where the box is in space.

// PILOT'S NOTE

Today’s drop is one big content swing plus three fixes. The galaxy tuning is the headline — go feel the difference. Start in ORION if you want a forgiving first flight; jump to CYGNUS when you want to relearn what “stopping” means in space.

Mouse-aim has now had three passes — the original ship in Crosshair, the same-day hot-fix in #32, and now #35. If you still see wobble, file it: the in-game feedback loop is exactly the channel that caught this one.
