CHANGELOG: Alpha 10.3.0 (Build 2491)

Combined Texture and Color Tool

• Added new tool that combines texturing and coloring

New Movement Controller Mode for Vessels

• Added a new "mouse pointer" directional behavior for controlling your vessels

How it works

• If your mouse pointer (i.e., the circle) is in the center crosshair, your vessel just goes straight forward
  
• If your mouse pointer moves out of the center crosshair, the vessel will keep turning "at the direction" your mouse is pointing, and keeps turning in that direction until the mouse is "again", in the center
  
• The further your mouse pointer is away from the center crosshair, the faster your vessel turns
  
• You can switch this mode on/off via the Control Panel for each vessel

CHANGELOG: Alpha EXPERIMENTAL 10.2.0 (Build 2521)
