Changelog

HUD Overhaul: new gauge display, new target selector, better shape rendering
Added functional spacecraft modules
Added spacecraft editor that allows you to create, edit, load and save your own spacecraft
Added picking a saved spacecraft with preview to new game flow
Spacecraft system warnings now show up as markers on the gauge displays in the HUD
Added camera rumble on certain actions
Reimplemented particle emitters
The core ModPack can be configured and is loaded on startup. This is a first step to make AstraX moddable
Galaxy generates galaxy regions that look different to the rest of the galaxy
Galaxy type now affects star generation, getting rid of the dummy implementation prior 0.5
a language support proof of concept, currently in use in parts of the spacecraft editor

	Multiple massive overhauls of different mechanics, related to spacecraft, system generation & navigation/targeting. As usual UI & Usability improvements.

Bugfix: Hard crash on re-entering home system
Bugfix: Texture improvements on Planets
Bugfix: Asteroids showing up twice in the system
Bugfix: Parallax not displaying stars properly
Various other bugfixes

Wrecks that can be discovered, dockable stations, basic resource collection and a few early survival mechanics (radiation, fuel/oxygen depletion).

Changelog

Added Galactic background (only works for the sector you spawned in)
Added Basic Resource Collection, there are 4 ores that you can collect now
Added Docking functionality to replenish fuel & oxygen
Added Target Lists with pointers rotating to the direction of the target
Added randomized names for discoverable objects
Added configurable and rotatable textures for planet graphics
Added Explorable Satellites & Wrecks and corresponding Traits
Added Radiation Mechanics
Added Inventories
Added Game Over State
Added generation/shuffling mechanisms via “name spaces”
Changed UI/HUD (reskin), featuring Notifications & VoiceMessages
Changed Spacecraft: they deplete both fuel & oxygen now (refill by docking at a station)
Changed Planet Traits to a “discoverable TechTree” with many trait inter-dependencies. This means that planet trait generation becomes more logical and realistic
Changed planet graphics
Changed internal orbit definitions
Many minor UI/UX improvements
Lots of internal changes
Fixed a bug with faulty distance calculation

Improved system generator, creation of a whole galaxy with infinite scrolling and many more UX and GUI/HUD improvements.

Changelog

Implementations of Galaxy via a GalaxyMask to emulate the shape of a galaxy
(Right now around 30000 star systems per galaxy will be generated)
Infinitely scrolling Galaxy (does not save yet)
Improved Planet Texture Layering
Randomized scientific Galaxy and Planet Names
Planet Traits generate with dependencies (no more geysers without volcanic activity)
Added many more PlanetTraits
