space station: store, UI, upgrading components

[0XDE57]

when docked, player can press [E] or [D-Pad Down] to interact and open space station UI.
station will have a shop to trade different ships, components, items, cargo
requires a UI for inventory, managing ship and components.
requires a UI for store interface for buy sell components / ships
I have some prototypes on paper.

NOTE: all menus must be navigate-able by controller.

station shop UI:

• list items/components for sale
• price
• description
• image/icon
• upgrade button -> add component to ship
• buy item -> add item to inventory

a UI view components of ship "garage view"

• radial view component tree
• list components attached to ship
• a method to filter or tag components to display to only those modifiable by user
• description
• image/icon
• sell or remove button -> remove component from ship

components for sale:

• Active Shield: 2000
• Laser: 9999
• HYPER-DRIVE: 999,999,999
• [?] Passive Shield: 2000 (passive over-sheild with regen)
• [?] Solar Panel: 10000 (restore ship when near stars)

components to upgrade:

• a method to filter or tag components properties to only those upgradable
• HealthComponent: increase maxHealth
• Cannon: increase cooldownRate
• Cannon: increase damage
• VehicleComponent: increase thrust
• VehicleComponent: increase heat resistance
• Laser: increase damage

after some play testing and thinking, will move components to level based upgrade instead of per-attribute.

trying to design upgrades and level values for component, as well as required UI changes...

I have a rough idea on paper but still not sure on some implementation details...
