Pioneer is an open source game of lonely space adventure, with roots in Frontier: Elite II.
We are a small group of contributors from around the world, steadily building our dream space game with a careful balance of realistic Newtonian flight mechanics and space opera.

Our dear players and contributors!
We are nearing our annual Pioneer Day release, just 3 days from now.
So we'd like to put out a call for anybody who would like to contribute translations. Now would be a great time to do so!
We have only one language at 100%, and a couple close to it!

Pioneertag brings about our new release with many changes and improvements, including a rewritten equipment system, complete rebalance of all ships, including weapon handling. The OPLI Natrix saw a redesign, and the UI got a new consistent color scheme. The radar gained some functionality, and the planet rings now have a texture to them.

We've been working on a Notion based ship designer, and it is shaping up nicely. Previously we were using a spreadsheet, but with equipment slots, that would not work.

The designer can calculate a lot of data including deltaVs, and will be a useful tool for balance. It even includes a price calculator!

Sturnclaw, one of our core crew is hard at work on the equipment system and its UI right now. This screenshot shows the current status of the equipment market.

Still lots to do, but this part of Pioneer is shaping up nicely.

Another iteration on yesterday's mockup, adding a way to set the amount to pump. Also checking scalablity.

We've been iterating on the desing and UI/UX mockups for the fuel system tonight.
I think we have it mostly figured out, but it still needs a way to transfer set quantities of fuel from one tank/stage to another.
