I've temporarily stopped work on adding sectors to the overmap in order to try and help get the insurrection gamemode ready for release. Anyway at the time of the last change the overmap was in the following state:

• Overmap will be in the Eridanus system including an asteroid base and 2 initial planets (WIP) + the existing space weather.
  
• Antagonist bases are being considered as possible overmap destinations, to allow the crew to strike back at the home of those pesky Insurrectionists if they are able to repel them.
  

I'm Chaz. I do icons. Yo.

Woo! Actually on time this week.   Anyway:

Work on the overmap continues as we near the state we want for the initial alpha of the server. The list of sectors has grown to 4:

1. Crashed Yonhet Ship (see report #1)
   
2. Meteor showers
   
3. Radiation storms
   
4. Insurrectionist listening post
   

Missed this on Wednesday, but here goes.

• We now have the ability to dynamically load and unload sectors through two procs.
  
• Meteor storms are now in!
  
• There is a 0.5% chance of catastrophic meteors, 4.5% chance of threatening, and 95% chance of normal meteors.
  
• Rad storms will probably be added to the overmap soon.
  
• Space weather sectors are invisible and unknown until you fly into them for added fun!
  

Grrrrrrr....

Have a working prototype along with some placeholder maps for testing. Looking at working on ship to ship combat next with ship to ship interaction afterwards (radio comms, viewscreen etc).

Going to try and do one of these every Wednesday until we get all the overmap stuff we want in the alpha done.

Anyway, at the moment I am currently working on the black market packer's ship, which we have decided will be a crashed Yonhet trading ship. For those of you who aren't well versed in the lore and don't want to go read the wiki, the Yonhet are a species from the Covenant Fringe that had mostly gone into hiding due to the scale of the Human-Covenant war. They are known to be extremely skilled at retrieving Forerunner artifacts.

Current Sectors:

• Yonhet Ship
  

• The control buttons for some of the shutters on the ship aren't linking, making it harder to get to some areas
