Really like how this is all shaping up!

Awesome stuff, the range mechanic is clever and very board-game like. Lean and meaty. Keep it up!

That'd definitely be neat to follow! As for combat, I'm sure you're looking at wargame systems like Battletech and what-not. Labbing up weapon configs sounds like it'll be fun. The possibility of losing components and needing to reconfigure brings depth to Mechwarrior 5 in particular.

Good luck finding a name, I don't envy you. I like Loadstar more than Starborn.

Any chance we'll see dynamic ship traffic out in space? Be able to initiate, or see police coming to scan us?

Love me some Elite 2, and Pioneer. There are Android and .Net desktop ports of Space Trader out there...somewhere. And it is heavily inspired by Elite itself.

All I've wanted is a nicely updated and rich successor to the classic Palm OS Space Trader. This looks like it fits that nicely, mixing in some good ideas from FTL and other games. Very much looking forward to it!
