Bring back old overmap and drifting fighters!

RE: The Overmap Arc - Frontline03 - 12-01-2018

No metro system?

RE: The Overmap Arc - Ruse - 12-01-2018

Seeing as the game is getting a lot of work done I think that reworking the clothing system as a whole would benefit us as a whole and working on the covvies in terms of sprites

RE: The Overmap Arc - Cael_Aislinn - 12-02-2018

We could probably add a fast travel system for planets. That would tie in to the idea of having other explorable locations on planets with restricted travel (hidden bases, far off mines or outposts etc)

RE: The Overmap Arc - Ruse - 12-03-2018

That actually sounds epic I hope it's added in the near future
