Development Update 1: Jumping between starsystems

There is so much more that has happened before I got to this point but so far we have covered a lot of ground on generating a believable universe, including planets and all, and even have jump gates in place around the various star systems.

So at the moment I am tweaking the jumping mechanics between star systems. Jumping is perhaps a bit of a misnomer, so a rename may certainly be up for review, but in effect it means that your Mothership, or as it officially is named 'Ilani', will travel at a highly accelerated velocity towards a connected star system.

The jumping mechanics are in place and on the servers as I can see this acceleration happen but sometimes you end up at the wrong location and it requires a few more graphical improvements. I will attach an animated gif to this post as soon as I have jumping working as expected.
