Hmm, could it be broken into a functionality part and an interface part, with the interface work put off to 0.5.4?klauss wrote:If a part of it can be done for 0.5.3, it would be possible to do that part, and slate the rest for 0.5.4.
You could make it a config option whether the game should treat the player fleet as escorts or stored equipment. That would circumvent the dependence on interface work but still allow testing and balancing to begin.
