A quick update on what is going on and future plans (Patreon)

I'm sure everyone noticed already, I have not been as active as usual on both on the Unofficial Starsector Discord, and in here. Unfortunately I have been hit by a nasty stretch of crunch at work that I am barely getting out of now. My modding time was basically reduced to nothing during the entire month of February. Hopefully I will be able to get back to more sane working hours and resume work on my favorite hobby in the coming days.
I have several things lined up already for the next few months:
First, you may have noticed some pretty pictures of a 3d model. That is a burgeoning project I want to make for the game Nebulous. This mod could give me the opportunity to bring to life some designs of mine that will not work in a 2D game like Starsector. It is also a mod that I can keep the scope off under a tight vise (only 6 ships for now, 7 after the carrier update and that is it).
Second, I finally started working of the campaign overhaul of Diable Avionics instead of planning for it. There will be a handful of ships remade from scratch, and some tweaks to existing ones (notably the Storm). I can also announce that the Wanzers will be back with a vengeance, using them on non Diable carriers will be made easier, and they will have some nasty benefits from using Diable carriers.
Before that is done, I may have to release an update to polish the plague-bearers from Seeker because those things are still a mess. I love my new warp effect, but it makes them suicidal instead of frightening.
Lastly as usual the Unknown Skies overhaul is chugging along, although I have no ETA in mind.
