Smoother Around the Station

Covers everything since v0.2.91: the open-beta store, a lot of small fixes you reported, and a tidier way around the game.

🛒 Store

• The open-beta store is open: Remove Ads, Starter Buff and the 300 SC Pouch. Everything else stays Coming soon for now.
• Fixed: prices showed as "…" and buying said "That product is not available." Prices now load from Google Play, and buying works.

🧭 Getting around

• Fleet now works like every other screen. The bottom bar stays on screen, the Fleet tab lights up while you're there, and the separate top Back button is gone.
• Claiming a milestone no longer throws you back to the top of the ladder.
• The upgrade list stops jumping. Tapping game speed, pause or x1/x5/MAX used to snap the in-run and Workshop lists back to an old position. They now stay where you left them, one position per tab.

⚔️ Combat

• HP and shield are readable at a glance. Big numbers are shortened (573.5k / 573.5k · +2.55M/s) instead of seven-digit walls.
• Fixed: while Aegis is active, shield showed more than its maximum (e.g. 583k / 190k). The bar now shows Aegis's raised cap.

🔊 Audio

• Music stops when you leave the app and picks up where it left off when you come back.

🛠️ Fixes & polish

• Research "Finish" no longer refused as "cannot afford."
• Syncing can't jam anymore. A slow connection used to stall your progress until you restarted; requests now time out and retry on their own.
• Skins archive is now a compact tile grid, so all 20 hulls fit without endless scrolling.

Thanks for every report in the feedback forums. Keep them coming! 🙏
