I've nearly finished building 0.3, and I thought you might like to see one of the new features. Can you guess what these are? Attachments:

I have no idea what they are. Is that the (shockwave?) from you dying, or some sort of COM?

Hm. Originally I thought just different coloured asteroids, but that's a ship-spawning region of space. Asteroids and spawning zones don't coincide in 0.2. I have no idea.

My first thought was asteroids lit up by some kind of radar pulse / smart bomb, but that doesn't fit that well with the syntax of your question.
'These' might be mine-able asteroids? radioactive asteroids?

Well it's right next to the starting point if you look at the coordinates, so it can't be anything too advanced.

It doesn't seem that the asteroids are lighting up from taking damage since the coloring seems randomly assigned. I would certainly appreciate brighter asteroids that are easier to see, especially in autopilot. I have no idea what the blast wave is from though.

Hey. What are those two round orange pieces? All of the other asteroids are polygonal.

Okay. A guess.
The sphere going out from the ship is a radar pulse. It causes asteroids to light up, thus displaying their rank. Their rank is important because it is directly tied to ore density, and the rank of part that can be manufactured with each ore.

Wow, some of these guesses are far more complicated than the reality  |

Farbs are you going to tell us what it is?
