Can now send ships from Earth to the Moon and back, actually works between planets and between moons as well. It now does basic launch window calculations but still no delta-v limitations yet. This will improve a lot, still a bit jumpy and the ship is not supposed to look like some gray Borg cube! But hey it's a start!
As a note the game is not supposed to be a hyper realistic space simulation, it strives for some level of realism. The transits between bodies are actually using simplified orbital math because of that. The planets need to line up before we can launch, for Earth to Mars transits that means roughly two yeas of waiting between launch windows! You might not want to send all ships into orbit immediately after a transit window closes to wait for the next one, crew will be dead bored (more like first bored then dead).
So many things to work on so I find myself doing something here and then something there, but making a formalized plan kind of kills the joy of it all :P
