player UI is coming together.

testing the mood and ambience of things as i get player control systems wired into the text frontend.

minor progress on the new procgen code

new HUD and player test. endless terrain generation works in a basic test. exact tone of the world and setting is being refined more

the UI states work now.

good news: endless generation of multiple ships is possible, as is progression with travel

bad news: crossing a gap for five boring minutes is unacceptable

possible solution: no more spaceships? switch to endless terrain?

expanding ship hull generation to include some hullplating over the current gaps. WIP, and there's gaps in the coverage but those are getting patched

first item: more new enemies for the roster.

second item: level generation is now able to give the ship a stable hull. this took a while because as it turns out the math to determine "outside edge of the ship" was a bit more complex then first intended.

main menu controls work now. work on the new game start of setting the factions properties can begin now. after that, i can plug that info into the world generation, and we're off into gameplay.

limited working code for painting planets, not all the sections work right just yet, sadly.
