0.3 progress update

 It's time for a little update again. I have my vacation at the moment so i'm a bit slow on stuff. But i got some much needed and fun stuff done.

New feature is fleets. It's feature complete but with bugs. Few corner cases needs to be found and fixed. You can now create fleets with ctrl+n, where n is a number. You can add currently selected ship(s) to fleet by using ctrl+shift+n. And select fleets by using numbers. Ships can ever be a part of only 1 fleet. I've done some playtests and i found fleets really handy feature. Maybe fleets are something that SSC can have more features on?

Another update in game is planet and ship UI information panels. I added health and shield bars in there. I'm now trying to figure out how do i show information panel when player has multiple ships or a fleet selected. I'm not sure if i can work it out before 0.3 is ready though.

Let's talk a bit about settings. That part has been empty since the beginning. With 0.3 version we'll have display, resolution and fullscreen option from now. Display slider is a bit annoying though. You have to restart SSC yourself. Sorry about that. Anyway. Because i added a sound effect to buttons, i also had to included a volume slider.

SSC 0.3 is about 75% done now. As you all know already, it'll take a while to get last 1/4 finished. I try to get release done as close as the end of August, but no promises yet.
