Bring back old overmap and drifting fighters!

No metro system?

[Ruse]

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

[Cael_Aislinn]

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)

[Ruse]

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