Hello again everyone,
We're now in the 1.16 series and sailing to 1.17!
Like the last build, 1.17 will have three major focus points.
1) Setting up the translation system,
2) Government/Fleet contracting,
3) Magazine redesign.
The stuff to get translations to work will be a major pain in the beard. There might not be much "visible" progress while I work on this system, since it's mostly internal stuff. I'll try to keep you guys posted on the progress, but it might sound a bit dry, and filled with technical terms.
As always:
