Hey, guys! So, here's what's going on. We've got a pretty in-depth list of stuff we need to do for the flight demo. I have mentioned previously that I was going to move on to background art, and menu items. These have both been done ( mostly, still have the main menu background left), but there's not really anything interesting to show. Since that's the case, we've moved on to the next bits that need doing.
So firstly, we've come up with a basic display for the nav map. The colors, orientation and layout are not final. This is more to show the relevent information - in the final, most all of these will draw directly from the WC1 nav map.

Secondly, one of the major things on that list is that all the ships need to have another once-over. Now that we have the stations that we're happy with we need to bring all the other ships and weapons up to that level. I've attached the previews of the Scimitar, Tarsus, and Valiant.

The Valiant isn't going to be in the demo at this time, but I did need to nail the rusted, old, surplus look that the landriech fighters and ships had. If you look back through the project's history, these ships are the ones I've had the most trouble getting right. We pretty much desperately need to nail this look, before we can move on. Here's an old example - back when we were stupidly trying to make the Landriech a "Mini Confederation". I like the new stuff far, far more.

I'm not completely happy or finished with them, so any and all feedback would be appreciated greatly.
