As part of this overhaul, work will be done to isolate the galaxy-level generation/simulation code (for the normal reasons of maintaining encapsulation and separating responsibilities).

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

  • 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.
