Following Seas - Math-ter and Commander 

Thanks. I agree that some form of guide should be included. Not sure how best to implement as a wall of text may be annoying. I like the idea of having in game calculation aids, but not sure how best to implement yet.

@@2eightnine Sorry about the wall of text.

@@thl1113 Not at all, I appreciate the feedback.

​@@2eightnine I look forward to your coming updates and the demo. May I ask, will it be possible for the player to modify the hull of the ships? For example, I think that add and removing bulkheads could be a neat function (especially in the case of carrying passengers, if that sort of contract will be available in game in the future). A seperated area in the hold is recognized by the game as passengers' cabin as the requirement for accepting passenger missions. It is similar to retrofitting passengers cabin in Elite dangerous game.

I hesitate to give absolutes, but for the foreseeable future there won't be any customization of the ship hulls. I like the idea -- just on the back burner for now.

1. I prefer 'real' floating point where the player or vehicle is stationary and the world moves around them -- but getting such a system to function with the structure I have is a major issue -- so I approached it with the 'floating point we have at home' solution of just teleporting everything once distance exceeds threshold. 2. Character controller is fully custom. There's a lot of stuff going on there -- but in short it has both physics and kinematic components. Effectively when not receiving inputs, floating, or falling, the player is a kinematic child of the parent vehicle, but functions as a physics object otherwise -- and results are mostly good.

It does. My star maps are based on these: svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/4851/

@@2eightnine that's awesome, I'm so glad, it's one of the things that i was dissapointed by sailwind, it will be so cool to learn constellations while playing this

Restrangle?

@@2eightnine sorry, I've meant sqare :)
