changedThe next update is nearing completion. As previously noted, this will add the ability to create, save and resume a "career"; and being able to switch from one saved career to another. Saving your career is obviously as critical to dynamic gameplay as was the addition of the basic economy model that was the focus of the previous update; and I will tell you this was no small task to get working properly (and there will be bugs with it at first, I have NO doubt). I really wanted this update out by end of January/beginning of Feb. I had some personal issues pop-up that worked against me. Also, I have to admit, saving (and more to the point resuming from the point of save) did not come NEARLY as trouble-free as I'd hoped for, even with all the pre-planning I did for it in earlier code. Quite simply, there is just a LOT of data to capture for each ship; and some of it was more problematic than I expected. I will release this update to the Test branch first, and leave it there for a week or so, so that folks can report any major save-functionality bugs. I'll fix the worst of these before pushing the final version of this update to the Default branch.
