I just wanted to write an ULTRA short summary of the 3.0 patch notes. Someone then told me, an enthusiastic person on Twitter just did that.
I thought it's nearly perfect, so I did only minor changes. So all credit to OP :*P

2) New show location command (for Evocati only?)
3) New ship startup procedure
4) Landing now handled through new ATC
5) 3 moons + 1 asteroid to land on.
6) Some QT revisions
7) To land at a station around a moon around a planet, you do planet->moon->station
4 new ships added, plus the Ursa ground vehicle
