figured to scroll down the #naev hashtag a little, saw this

for a little update on the Rust rewrite: the proportion of Rust in the repository is currently 7.4%

maybe we can expect it to be completed in just a few short years from now 😛

if you know Rust and feel up to helping Naev with the transition, the tracking issue is still being updated: https://codeberg.org/naev/naev/issues/2890 - and thanks in advance if this reaches the right folks!

Also, we have 2 new trader-aligned ship models, the Alpaca (cheap earlygame yacht-courier thingy) and the Clydesdale (something of an upscaled Rhino, focusing on equal parts cargo capacity and combat capability)
