Items not saved to LTP Include:
Hangar Decoration Customizations (Decorations will be returned to player's home location inventory)
Medpens, Ammo, Ongoing Rentals and Refinery Jobs, and Character Customization (Make sure to Export your Custom Character)

For 3.24, Server Crash Recovery will remove all current missions and mark them as abandoned. This behavior is not the intended outcome in the long term and will be changed in an upcoming refactor.

Features and Gameplay

Ships & Vehicles
New Vehicle: Argo Astronautics ATLS Suit
The Argo ATLS is a powered suit that the player can mount / enter, designed to assist them in performing more heavy-duty cargo movement tasks.
The player can retrieve their ATLS via the Instanced Hangar ASOP Terminal. The suit cannot be retrieved via Spaceport ASOP terminals, or ground vehicle ASOP terminals.
The ATLS has its own bespoke tractor beam, that acts differently to the handheld tractor beams, and the tractor beam found on vehicles.
- Rather than picking an item up at the point where the beam hits its target, the beam will pull the tethered item towards the player, holding it above the ATLS, whilst the player moves the placement preview. Upon placing the preview, the item will then move to the placement location. The player can also reset the rotation of the preview by pressing < MMB >
