Better interface

I've added colors to ship labels to make it clear what they are doing. White means no commands have been given. Light blue means the ship is going to a particular heading, while dark blue means it's going to a particular target (like a docking pad). Red means it is docked, green means its ready to depart.

Another change has been to make the label size change with camera zoom, so it is easier to get an overview of what's happening.

Building

The new version (0.2) has the beginnings of the build system. You now start of with an empty slate, from which you can construct the space station. You will need station parts, on which you can build docking pads where ships can land. After building, click the docking pad to change its type. You will need enough workers to handle all ships (if not, there will be delays) which live in habitats. You can also build space bars to boost passenger and cargo income, respectivelly. Finally, you can build waypoints and radars out in space. You can use waypoints are targets for go to commands, and have them direct traffic forward. Radars increase sight range.

More interesting world

I've also started to make space around the station a bit more interesting. There are asteroids now, that ships need to avoid (if not they get damaged). Every once in a while there will be asteroids flying past at higher speeds.

What's next

Next on the agenda is fleshing the different ship types, more events, and adding pirates. The latter will also require player-owned ships like repair crews or police ships with their own buildable hangers. If you have any good ideas let me know!
