Update 35 - Ship Systems & Ship Map

Hey gang. Happy Thorium Thursday!

Ship Map

Incremental progress, as usual. You can now get a glimpse of the node-based ship map builder, which is pending review before it is merged into the main codebase. Once that happens, I'll release the next Thorium Nova alpha so you can play around with it.

Ship Systems

There have been a few more ship system proposals in the meantime:

• Communications - Thanks Froginator45!
• Sensors - Thanks Froginator45!
• Chaff Launchers - Thanks Ryan!
• Tractor Beam
• Inventory & Cargo

I would love your thoughts, questions, and feedback about these proposals. While you're at it, take a look at the other proposals that have been made:

• Power & Damage Control
• Impulse Engines
• Warp Engines
• Life Support - Thanks Froginator45!

Have an idea for a ship system of your own? Submit a proposal!

Development Meetings

Did you know we have development meetings every other week on Discord? We discuss the latest features, plans for the future, and any other developments. While we mostly talk about code, anyone is welcome to come and share their perspective. (psst. That means you!) The next meeting will be on March 30th - check the meeting invite to see what time it's at.

That's all for this week. As always, thanks for being on this journey with us!
