Are the game saves compatible?

Should be, although there might be some small glitches. The assembler has changed in size to be a bit smaller and might cause a hull breach, but if you get it repaired it should be all good =)

I really like the addition of these space hazards, they add an interesting dimension to decision making. Do I focus on turrets for anti-pirate work, or shields and scanners to better survive solar flares and meteorites? Do I risk going into a nebula and meteorite combo system to mine a critical resource? How long do I want to risk staying in a solar flare system to grab resources from a derelict?

My first exposure to a solar flare system was rough. I destroyed a pirate ship and stuck around to capture the crew and loot the ship. I was about half way through looting when the first flare hit. It wasn't too bad so I continued looting as there was some good stuff over there. Got hit a second time and this time was bad. Finally got the ship patched up enough to leave and a third flare hit even worse than the second. Had to vent most of the ship to stop the fires and smoke. The crew had to work overtime to get the minimum repairs done as quick as possible so we could escape. I wasn't sure they'd make it. Adds an interesting element to the game and will definitely influence my ship design going forward: better subdivision into compartments, better power grid redundancy, batteries near key stations or equipment, more life support equipment throughout the ship for faster recovery, more space suit lockers throughout the ship.

Awesome, just the type of effect one would want to see from the new feature, affecting many areas of decision making and creating interesting choices regarding designing ships as well.
