Devlog 77 covers an array of fixes and additions. I spent some time working on the Merc AI and their behavior routines. I am much happier now with they way they are flying and working. I revamped a good bit of the FLEET COMMAND panel to make it easier to command multiple Mercs regardless of the ships target. New formation lock code, and improved auto tasking.
I made a number of small tweaks and QoL improvements to a number of panels. I reworked the Station Storage panel, it now has full sort, and search functionality. I also made a few tweaks to the message popup box, and added confirmation clicks for exiting the game.
I adjusted more of the market code to allow for more dynamic pricing when selling items at the market. Little by little, the markets are improving. I made a number of graphical tweaks to 20 or so maps in the trade region. Most of these changes are to repair old textures used on props and adding the new skybox backgrounds.
I made some major changes to the ship path finding AI when dealing with high speeds. this has effected all ships, and seems to have improved the AI responsiveness to blocking objects. a number of these tweaks have also affected Mercs.
I have started adding in the missing tutorials. This update has one for Drones and Mercs. I have also added a new asset called documents. These will contain story line info, and often act as game manuals.
