2.1.0 Release

The 2.1.0 release is here!

There isn't a great deal of new content in this release but there's been a lot of work done behind the scenes to make the game much more stable and easier to work with.

As with the last release, we're including four extra modules with the base game here: federal, syndicate, salvage and warp (desktop-only for now).

Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen!
