    "As soon as it´s done". Realistically... I´m working on it every day now, and I´m making steady progress. I´ll put a current dev. update in the lead post, above.

    Um, well, here are a few examples: 1. LOD displays have been heavily optimized. This has turned out to greatly improve the overall efficiency of the game engine, rather than slowing framerates down, at least on a mid-range rig like mine. And it makes things much, much prettier, especially with Stations. 2. ALE files have had their texture resolutions altered, which makes them much nicer-looking at various LOD levels. I´ve built a brand-new explosion animation, and I´m planning on doing the same for Missile explosions. 3. Where it was practical (i.e., I have enough free time) I have rebuilt the contents of several MATs. Long story short- basically, I´ve made some MATs prettier. Lots of other stuff... from the way that Thrusters are displayed, etc., etc., etc. It´s a pretty long list of basic, ground-level improvements. Some of it eats framerate, some of it actually gave framerate back... overall, the optimizations have resulted in smoother, much prettier gameplay.
