the last UI update was 24 years ago and updated some antiquated phrasing used on some text in a few languages due to said languages slowly changing and evolving over the decades

Infographic stylised to look like a grungy photocopied piece of paper. A sharp, gritty render of the ship shown previously is visible. Various blocks of text point to different sections of the ship. They read as follows (from left to right): "Hypermetric chamber | By leveraging the Igelkott effect, a region of ANEC-violating spacetime is created within the chamber. This is blown out to form a "bigger on the inside" space, often many hundreds of meters to kilometers in size. Useful for storing large amounts of materials in a space-efficient manner. Its throat is not a true (forbidden) wormhole, as it does not change the topology of spacetime." "Communication & sensors | The ravenous vacuum saps energy from any transmissions making the hours-long trek from ship to Home and back. Large, sensitive, ears are needed to pick up these distant calls. A lot of the sensors are mostly vestigial: we know there's nothing beyond Home, no point in double-checking." "Airlock & habitat | It's awfully cramped, yet strangely cosy. It can feel at times as if the confines of the living space is all there is to the universe. There are no windows, nothing to see out there anyway." "Reaction control system thrusters | A single Mystery Drive cannot provide sideways or rotational motion, so conventional RCS thrusters are still helpful." ""Mystery Drive" Reactionless thrust structure | The ship's main method of forward (and backwards) propulsion. After receiving only a moderate amount of startup power, the Mystery Drive is able to produce thrust from seemingly nowhere, and with no exhaust to speak of. It is a perversion of thermodynamics. The people who gifted us the blueprints looked as if they had seen a ghost." Underneath the ship is an arrow marking the length of it as 270 meters. In the bottom right is a portrait of someone with antennas atop their head. Besides them it reads: "OPERATOR | IND-33385421 Cassi | Feeling "decently positive about the whole thing"."
