New Features
Gameplay
Station Based Refining
	Kiosks placed around the Refining levels that allow players to take their raw mixed mining ore that they mined in their ship and refine it. The player can use these kiosks to create multiple refining jobs which are persistent and complete over a period of time, based on quantity and complexity and create refined ore that is more valuable than unrefined. There are different kinds of refining processes which produce different percentage yields depending on the type of resource being refined. Additionally, different refineries may have different proficiencies. Once one or multiple jobs are completed, the player can collect the refined materials into a ship with cargo capability and sell as a good at a commodity kiosk, with most goods sell-able at major city trading centers (CBD, TDDs).
	Ship thrusters now create wind volumes when in use that will interact and blow away physics based objects, ships, and players
