These are implemented or done:<\/p>\n

– Scanning the area by radar (upgradable) and showing the materials on planets
\n – Minimap icons, icons of planets according to the materials on them
\n – Docking to home station and being able to open station menu window
\n – Spaceship stats show on screen, fuel gets consumed, cargo gets full, materials get gathered
\n – Zooming by scrolling middle mouse button
\n – Federation market station for shopping purposes
\n – Moving at light speed
\n – A complete world map that can be toggled
\n – Shooting by laserguns
\n – Upgrading the ship after docking at station if required materials are satisfied
\n – Asteroids, one more planet, missile launcher, laser cannon<\/p>\n

Today we are going on with the list we made. Some of the crucial things are;<\/p>\n

– Store transactions after docking at station
\n – A federation newspaper that includes the story. The story will affect the space market.
\n – Federation fuel station, buying fuel
\n – Buying materials and spaceship parts in federation market station
\n – At least 4-5 more planets
\n – Explosive material that reacts to heavy damage on ship when carried
\n – Security for federation stations (if you are caught with illegal material on you or if you attack them)<\/p>\n

By this point the game will be playable but there are also extra stuff we are planning to add if we can manage to finish these;<\/p>\n

– Cargo ships that move from market to market and that you can shop on if you dock
\n – Other merchants with their own stations moving around
\n – Pirates (enemy AI and combat)<\/p>\n
