Void Trader v1.5.7 by Syncriel

Void Trader is a space trading game for the PS Vita, an unofficial fan homage to Elite and Frontier.
Fly between the 100 nearest real star systems, trading goods between stations, hunting pirates for bounties, mining asteroids and taking missions for three rival powers and their factions. The galaxy lives week by week: wars, elections, booms, lockdowns and expansions change prices and jobs, and your missions can tip who rules a system.

> Small comforts: with a course plotted, hold Triangle (or tap the system name at the top left) to see the system you're in; a docking-computer reminder as you approach a station; a nudge towards the system map when you've nowhere to go; and a new Messages tab on the Commander screen to reread anything that passed too quickly.

- Docking computer hint (item 181): between 2 and 20 km from the station, with a docking computer, the
prompt reads "Docking computer at 2 km (N km now)" (Prompts FULL). CROSS there now says "Docking
computer: get within 2 km (N km now)" instead of "Too close to warp".
- Recent messages (item 183): a fifth Commander tab, MESSAGES, lists the last 16 messages with their date,
newest first, for the ones that pass too quickly on arrival. Not saved.
- First-flight guidance (item 185): after a few seconds in open space with no nav target and nothing
selected, the prompt adds "TRIANGLE system map: pick a destination" (Prompts FULL).
- This system's map with a course plotted (item 189): hold TRIANGLE (0.4 s) or tap the system name at the
top left. A short press still opens the galaxy map on your course, now when you let go. The handbook's
IN FLIGHT and TOUCH pages and the manual say so.
- On the Vita, the "Missiles are SAFE" message no longer names the PC keyboard key (K).
- Items 182 (a button for the distress box and chaff) and 184 (one ship name across the HUD) were
discussed and deferred. Item 180 (the main station as nav target on arrival) was tried in build 256
and rejected: it turned CROSS into warp assist to the station after every arrival.
