Yeah, that's the idea. Don't know the ETA though, but the new equipment system should be able to support it I think. At least the reinforcement equipment part. The override is another matter.

We have something different in our mind (hull upgrade, so the ships can handle acceleration better), because for most ships thrust isn't the bottleneck. There's an acceleration limit on all ships, to avoid say a 1g - 16g acceleration range depending on how much cargo and fuel you have on the given s...

The ability to pan the sector map would be a welcome change.

Not sure if everything could be put onto joystick, but that would be useful too. On the other hand, the mouse and keyboard controls shouldn't be dumbed down in order to do that in my opinion. The bane of a lot of console ports.

These days it seems like they want to automate the interesting parts of at least art, but neglect the actually boring, repetitive and ucreative parts.

The more I look at these face and human generators, the more dead the output seem.
And the more I think about genAI, the more I come to the opinion that I'd avoid having any such thing in Pioneer.

I do have some vague ideas about adding some existential dread and eldritch horror to the lore. Subtle, and in the background for the observant players.

There's an example implementation on github, although no licence is provided.

I stash it here too:

Of course it is! Thanks for the tracks! :)

That's one nice effect
