Essentially, the Free Lanes update is set to introduce a variety of new content into the game. One of the major highlights is the new cruise mode, which will allow you to manually fly the ship between planets without relying entirely on fast travel.
Besides the new travel system, the patch will result in the introduction of new Points of Interest across planets and space. There will also be some adjustments made to the economy and resource systems. The Free Lanes update is additionally adding new ship and combat customization options and quality-of-life improvements.
The Terran Armada DLC is also releasing alongside the PS5 release, and it is going to add a new storyline focused on a large-scale threat in the Settled Systems. It further introduces a powerful robotic military enemy faction, new locations, missions, a robot companion that can be upgraded over time, and expanded endgame content.
