End of Day1 - situation update
It's time for me to clock out for the day. The current progress can be seen in the screenshot below. I added ship waves and finished the texturing on all meshes.

Today I have mostly been working on visuals and assets. Tomorrow I'll have to finish up the core gameplay loop ASAP before attempting to do any more visual polish.
Like these things normally go, when working with your own tools you end up spending way too much time figuring out some bizarre edge case you have never encountered before. In this case I have found bugs both in the skybox rendering and in how SSAO is applied. Still, working with your own tools means you don't have to read docs all the time as you know most things by heart.
All in all, I am fairly happy with today's progress. Tomorrow will be an interesting day. Sleep tight (whenever it is your time to do that) and good luck with your games!
