Ships - New movement system: Ships move using physics resulting in an overall smoother and more fluid result. Ships have thruster VFX: a light gas for the RCS thrusters, as well as a bright red flame for the main thrusters. - Ships now have thruster sounds: unique (albeit similar
Berths * Berths have their own panels. User can pause and abort transfers from them. * Prevent an incident due to a failed transfer by pausing a berth's transfer ability while waiting for another ship to complete it's transfer. Balance: ship spawning Tweaked destination spawn par

Destinations - Destinations include Earth, Phobos, and Martian North Pole Waypoint. - Ship arrival time depends on the distance the destination is from the player. Earth is further than Phobos and the Waypoint, so ships will take a longer time to arrive. - Ship types are dependen

Added: - Ships can collide and despawn. An incident is added to the incident panel. VFX/SFX Still need to be added. Fixed: - Resource transfers stop if the station runs out of money. Need to add UX for informing the user that it was a partial failure. In the future, this may fact
Fixed: - Ship overlays disappear when looking away from them Added: - Offscreen indicator for ships Tweaked: - Only the relevant "status chip" in the ship overlay is shown. Previously, all status chips were shown, including: docking request, docking operation status, resource tra
