I just finished the ships sprites, I now need to:
cleanup every holes and stray pixels,
split them up to create the required decorative for the custom engines,
redo all the weapons sprites,
redo the stations sprites,
create the heat decorative for the engines,
create the heat decorative for some of the built-in weapons,
create custom weapon mounts covers,
create all 3 graphicLib maps for every ship, weapon and decorative,
re-implement everything,
write the descriptions for all the new content,
remove the deprecated content,
update and cleanup all the scripts,
make a boatload of new sounds,
tweak the balance overall,
playtest the **** out of it,
and make a kick-ass trailer....
So yeah, no ETA for now.
