With https://github.com/pioneerspacesim/pioneer/pull/4459, most of this design doc is resolved. Due to the way it's implemented, we loose support for custom tagged CBOR values and raw strings, but gain the immeasurable advantage of not having to write anything new to save games in both JSON and CBOR...

Regarding deferred decals, see: https://turanszkij.wordpress.com/2017/1 ... rendering/
Mesh-based decals will likely be fairly easy to implement, though normal blending may be a bit of an issue.

And this is a very interesting paper (with implementation!) on a fast, PBR-based, clustered forward render, licensed under Apache 2.0. Considering that it runs on mobile devices under GLES3, I think it's more than plenty fast enough to use as a reference implementation for Pioneer's rendering approa...

That is a pretty ugly hack, yes. While doable, I personally would not want to implement it that way. In addition, having a logically separate hold also opens up possibilities for transferring things to other ships or stations - being able to store equipment or cargo at a station is a feature I've ha...

Not 100% sure this hasn't been posted here before, but it's an interesting read on clustered shading.

I've been thinking about implementing "hidden cargo compartment", where illegal goods by default is stored (at expense of normal cargo bay volume). This is coupled to a new "law mechanism" where by station police boards your ship every ~(1/100 x lawlessness) landing, prompting a...

I'm basically dumping this here to have something to reference as I implement it, but I welcome comments, concerns, and constructive criticism. The goal of this refactor is to reduce the amount of data saved to JSON, increase the flexibility of cargo and commodities, allow for transporting equipment...

Sturnclaw, man. Sturnclaw. Otherwise, looks quite good.

I have some ideas for another ship in that line, but I'm not likely to get around to that for a while.

Welcome to the team! I appreciate having someone to talk to later in the day, as the core team is asleep by noon my time. Regarding contributions, I don't have much to say that FluffyFreak or Impaktor have not already touched on, other than that I'd really appreciate some contributions on the UI sid...
