February 2022 (Week 3)

+ If you win a battle, enemy ships drops parts in a Salvage node. Less-damaged parts drop more often.
+ Can order parts in Salvage nodes to be sent to one of your planets
+ Fleet Detail screen shows ship icons and damage status
+ Ship Detail screen shows component-level ship information and damage status, as well as important statistics
+ If a ship component is destroyed in battle, it turns into dead weight
+ Ship resources like fuel and cargo belong to specific ship parts. If the part is destroyed, you lose the contents.
+ Real starting scenario WIP
+ Research tree completely redone and expanded, with new emphasis on reverse-engineering

+ Music system to loop or progress through different parts of the song based on game state
- Camera position changes broken after adding camera shake
- music system has an issue when the editor loses focus, untested on mobile
- song needs some work
- lowered planet texture resolution to increase generation performance, I plan to change it entirely anyways

+ Enemies should now animate simultaneously for basic movement, preventing the game from slowing down when it has to animate many enemies.

+ Info tab displays station info, if on a station and system descriptions, if possible.
+ Known station interiors properly apply now.
+ Updated info window colors, just a bit.
+ Fixed issue where solar comm option options weren’t optioned.
+ Dockable solars that SHOULD be enabled at start but aren’t are prematurely done so, for docking and story reasons.
+ Added more sidequests.
+ Added some more null checks in places.
+ Execution trackers can just be trackers, because fuck convention.
+ AddItem scriptcommands can also remove stuff. Why not?
+ Damaging Fields can be set to be damaging containers: Instant death if the player leaves them. Used to restrict arenas.

+ Added a switch ship command.
+ Solar box consumers and station activators can activate code blocks now.
+ Added a global trigger volume setter.
+ Skyboxes now load from assetbundles and filenames for stations AND star systems.

+ Almost done fixing up the damage indicators. It'll put a box over an enemy that has attacked you to let you know you can hover over the enemy to see the damage calculation. I still doubt anyone could understand it at face value but it's better than nothing and it's better than when it briefly showed at the top-left. Also includes attack names now, I need to give it a background.
+ Mostly done on an art re-work for the shopkeep as part of me revamping the shop. I did the original art about a year ago so it'll be good to make a side-by-side comparison once I'm finished, maybe I'll post it sometime. (Also progress on a non-game art that I still owe someone from before I started this project)
