Status report:
Good thing:
- I'm making progress.
- minor tweaking updates and improvements to existing part functions
Bad things:
- The list of things to fix and adjust grows faster than I can work it of. There's a lot more adjustments needed than I thought.
- Roof turret support has broken pretty much all support system parts: repair, (water-pumping) supply, docking-supply transfer systems and other systems relying on hitting the ship (not part) itself. They do randomly work but not consistent enough to consider it working. Currently I've been unsuccessful to fix this.
- likely more things broken I haven't been able to identify, including minor graphics error due to texture size enforcement in 0.14.0.
If things go well I may be able to release a working version soonish but with above negative points still applied. Weapons will be fine (near 80-90% done at release) everything else will be a lot less perfect. There's no way I can work of the list for another month. Everything considered the first version that's completely converted and compatible will be out (hopefully) when 0.14.1 comes out. So that's the version I'm aiming for.
As for new parts: maybe. Adjustments to the engine buff will be there. I haven't decided yet on the details but these are probably going to be there, since I already have them working like 7 months ago, before my hiatus. Firesuppression corridor, regenerative shields, (regenerative phaser lance), ((cascading systems & weapons)). Uncertainty is due to adjustment to the new toggle&buff system. Didn't turn out as expected but supposedly will be in 0.14.1. Also some new features I requested for 0.14.1 require re-adjustment of current adjustments. A lot is just in the air.
