Roadmap:

Current Features:

• Rockets can be built from almost any block
• Space stations orbiting any planet/moon
• Warpships to take players between said planets
• Planet Selection Guidance
• Basic machinery (to be redone at future date)
• Generates a fixed number of planets in a single solar system
• Fuel Mechanics
• Gas system (O2)
• Satellites
• Data collection of planets (not currently fully featured)
• Support for IC2 and RF
• Planets can be generated from XML
• Gravity generators for space stations
• Stations with day/night cycles
• More Satellites
  • Mining Satellite (ish, is spacestation bound)
  • Energy Collection Satellite
  • Ore Scanning Satallite
• Collection of materials from asteroids
• Asteroids
  • Automated Harvesting
  • Research System
    • Random asteroid parameters ( size, composition, location (polar coords)
    • Research can be done to determine properties

Future Features:

• Other engine types for space ships(ion/plasma)
• Terraforming
• Orbital factories
• Rovers (maybe? planetary exploration?)
• Collection of materials from gas giants
• Docking (maybe..)
• Planetary Mapping System (feasible?)
• More Satellites
  • Weather Control Satellite
  • Mapping satellite (feasible?)
• Clean Rooms
• Research Tree (possible use for planetary data, hire villagers as scientists for you lab!)
• Supports for more power systems
• Remove RF dependance
• Planets actually moving in their orbits
• Railguns to transfer goods between planets and stations
• Stations can be positioned over certain locations on planets
• Colony management system (seed testificates throughout the universe?)
• Config for mapping dims added by other mods to planets
• Gravity generators for local areas on planets
• Ground based telescopes - Water Detectors (increases info on %dry) space only - Chemical Detectors (increases chance of finding planets rich in certain ores) space only - Atmospheric Detectors (increases info on pressure; when combined with chemical can detect if planet has harvestable/hazardous gasses) ground and space - Temperature Detector (increases info on planetary temperature) space only - Star Scanner (increases the likelyhood of finding planets orbiting a star; higher level allows for smaller planets) ground and Space
• Asteroids
  • Manual Harvesting
  • Research System
    • Player can select as a destination
      • temporary dim in created, destroyed when last player leaves
• Hardmode
  • Must protect space stations from meteors
  • Rockets require life support
  • Space ships require statis chamber and must be provided with food (unless warp) - tranz9999
  • Heat system for machines and plasma engine
