Okay, there is nothing to write about today, but I just want to let you now, that I'm still alive and working on this project. I've returned to school lately and don't have that much time to work on The Expanse. Detector system still requires polishing and bugfixing, the same with class modifiers. Radial menu is working quite fine, but I have no time to make some screenshots. It's still unfinished, there isn't much time needed to add neccesary features and fix any possible bugs in the radial menu. Source of the old AI has been copied to the new engine, but there is much work to be done, to adapt it.
And there is a question, for you. I was thinking about moving sounds, graphics, missions etc. to external files, leaving only engine in the binary. This would open the way for future mods, new starship classes, maybe stories, even based on DS9, TNG or Voy. I don't deny a fact, that it would take a much more time, but it can simplify and accelerate future work on missions, ship classes etc.
