Space combat is now alpha - it will require lots of balancing and more options, but overall it is done.
New version offers three player characters to chose from: the merchant, the explorer and the smuggler. The three playstiles roughly correspond to classical games Elite, Starflight/Urquan Masters, and SunDog. Tutorial is only available for Merchant.
Started some serious work on cultural & ecosystem procedural generation.
Uploaded a new version, check out the article for details.
If you already have a save file (merc.sav), you'll have to delete it because it's not backward compatible, sorry.
Finalizing the tactical components of the ship to ship combat system... Check out the latest screenshot!
Status line at the bottom of the screen displaying help & additional info for the action/button under mouse, right clicking shows detailed info & help in alternative window... Thoughts?
I optimized planet generation and rendering, things should go smoother on slower computers now. Tell me if you're having problems with that so that I'll upload the new version. I won't upload every day just for the sake of uploading :)
