New Starpoint Gemini 2 screens fly through optimized asteroid fields

Starpoint Gemini 2 rolled out an asteroid-belt update on Steam Early Access, bringing the alpha up to v0.6009 [update: another quick rollout brought it up to v0.6010]. The v0.6009 update removed placeholder asteroids, replacing them with a finalized version, plus developer Little Green Man Games optimized how well things run in asteroid fields by 30 percent.

This pushes Starpoint Gemini 2 one step closer to beta — and one step closer to getting our hands on the only space sim in recent memory making spacescapes as pretty as EVE Online. I also like all the glowy bits on the ships, including the enormous ship-model name appearing on the side of each one.
