Version 1.0
Pioneer version 1.0 will be the first "stable" release. This will not be the final state of the game: development will continue, particularly adding a lot more content and game-play features, but features present in version 1.0 are expected to be supported for a long time.
Things that must be done before we can release version 1.0:
Warning: This list is incomplete - and under active discussion so subject to change
Technical features
- The save system will be changed to allow future versions to be made without breaking all prior saved games.
- Equipment control will be moved to Lua.
- All user-interface will be converted to use the new-ui system and be driven by Lua.
- Star system generation will be rewritten to allow partially custom systems, and to allow some types of changes to be made without having knock-on effects through the entire galaxy or system.
Gameplay features
- Military progression / treason.
- Something like the Scout missions the walterar has done, exploration jobs.
- No hypersace from in atmosphere / or too close to a planet surface.
- In-system hyperspace jumps to make assassination missions and piracy actually possible.
- Alternatively a Fast-As-Light drive, Shadmar has taken a hacked one I (fluffyfreak) wrote and updated it for Paragon.
