   v0.5
   Rich zones + fleet dispatch.

   New

   • Asteroids carry quality tiers with a rich-zone cluster bias; hostiles spawn and target there too, so the best ground is also the loudest.
   • Fleet dispatch fans across targets: mid-launch retarget when you click a second asteroid, plus queue-aware launcher tolerance so a 50-ship backlog clears in seconds instead of trickling.

   Changes

   • Orbit insertion tightened to land ships on the ring instead of drifting high.

   — Watching a launcher fan out across a 50-ship backlog finally feels like a fleet, not a conga line.

   v0.4
   Smarter hostiles + base building.

   New

   • Hostiles hunt: memory of asteroids they've passed, swept-path alerts, and suppression while laying low.
   • Heat-map overlay tracking mining and thrust; hostiles drift toward heat.
   • Buildable gates, per-dock ship assignment, per-launcher cooldowns.
   • Asteroid hover panel; camera pans on WASD/arrows and zooms to the cursor.

   Changes

   • Orbit insertion and landing visibly smoother (cruise-then-flip handover, spiral descent).
   • Base now an octagon; asteroids drawn as rough polygons; concurrent ships take distinct arcs.

   — The heat overlay turns "are they about to spot me?" from a hunch into a read.

   v0.3
   Cluster maps + pause menu.

   New

   • Asteroids spawn in connected clusters with distinctive oval shapes per cluster.
   • Pause menu with Continue / Restart / Exit.

   Changes

   • Per-asteroid resources halved to push movement between clusters.
   • Orbit entry smoother; ships face along tangent while queued.

   — Clusters give the map character — each region reads differently. Halving resources does some of depletion's job cheaply, a nice preview of where real depletion will hurt.

   v0.2
   Saturation + procedural worlds.

   New

   • Asteroids have mining slots; excess ships queue in orbit.
   • Asteroid layout regenerates each run.

   Changes

   • Loaded ships fly slower than empty ones (mass-scaled physics).

   Fixes

   • Hostile target selection cleaned up.

   — "Turtle on one rock" is dead — the queue pushes you to spread. Loaded ships being slower quietly makes geometry matter without a single numerical UI.

   v0.1
   MVP — core loop playable.

   New

   • Core dispatch/mine/return loop. Tested up to 348 ships in flight.
   • One hostile patrolling on a weighted-random wandering orbit; detection ends the run.

   — The tension is real. Asteroids don't deplete yet, so "turtle on one safe rock" is too viable — that's the next build's job.
