Star Explorers Optional Pre-Release 0.0.7 - for testing

This is a pretty big update. What I thought would take a week or so, ended up taking over a month. The Mothership Altair is now becoming a location to visit in-game!

The Bad News!
First, I apologize, but this latest version will again require a new game. I hate to do this, and I try not to have this happen, but some times it is unavoidable due circumstances outside of my control. This usually means some error that I wrote into a previous version, but it is what it is.

It is still rough, very rough. I have to add some actual characters, new models, and work on improving the graphics, which somehow do not want to work the way I expect them to right now :)



Still, there are new shops for ship, suits and weapons that you could not access from the ship's computer before. That shop is still available, in case you just want to refuel or sell some stuff quickly.

The idea here was to create a different, more familiar kind of environment the player can visit. A kind of home base with friendly npcs to interact with. I do want to elaborate a lot on the look, feel and functionality of the place, but it is currently working and accomplishing a good portion of what it needs to right now. Having player feedback and ideas will be welcome at this point.

Enjoy the relaxing ambiance and soothing sounds of the Mothership Altair...

• Leaf alpha - some leaves were being rendered incorrectly. This only occurred on liquid ammonia planets, and only after leaving and returning to the surface ... so that was fun to test!
• Missing storage containers - this only effected the visible storage model, not your actual storage capacity. It should work properly now.
