Fixed towing system
Tweaked Nebula Flow (a lot)
Extracted environment appearance settings into ZoneEnvironment data structure
Stardust particles now follow global flow field
Fixed various bugs caused by triggering wormhole animation multiple times
Sector -> Galaxy
Fixed bug in hostility system; deserialized entities' PresencePermitted was silently throwing an exception (due to Faction being null during initialization) and thus never updating in response to security level changes
Worked a bit on story processing
Map icons now have a constant size independent of zoom level
Galaxy Map now displays zone properties when clicking on a zone
Zone generator now uses half of nebula density, means smaller and more varied zones
Stations will refuse docking to entities with insufficient clearance

Incorporated Input Screen in game
Organized UI scripts into folders
Deleted some unused UI scripts
Reimplemented Fog Blur (by copying modified DoF to assets)
Replaced Unity TAA with PlayDead TAA
Custom keyboard layout test scene
Adjusted Aetheric Drive VFX to be more subtle
Reworked stardust VFX to reduce flickering artifacts
Added Action Bar & weapon groups saving/loading
Implemented security levels and faction safe zone visualization
Improved station placement (now include defensive turrets)
Refactored inventory drag & drop to use new global drag & drop management
Enabled Drag & Drop from inventory panel to action bar
Enabled gear and consumable item binding
Fixed stat modifier behavior to allow it to be toggled
Fixed Switch behavior to make it bindable
Added lambda multiplier to aether drive so that stat mod can target it
Refactor item instance to use DatabaseLink
Labels now pop up when aiming at loot
Yeeted HUD trigger group UI into the abyss
Created rebindable action bar (missing: assigning actions)
Created Consumable Items
Refactored behaviors to work on consumable items
Implemented Velocity Conversion Behavior
Fixed: unable to undock with an aetheric drive (game requires locomotion)
Entities have a chance of dropping any item on board when killed
Mine behavior generalized to grid objects, used in dropped loot
Added tractor beam (not itemized yet) which pulls in nearby loot (and mines!)
Items are added to player inventory when they collide with the ship (and mines explode!)
Added console command to spawn turret
Added Aetheric Drive hardpoint and item behavior
Added Drive RPM UI to HUD
Fixed death not disabling continue option
Disabling global input when dialog is visible
Fixed loadout generator failure when zero price item present
Replaced fixed top speed with drag coefficients
Marking player location on galaxy map
Fixed non-input field focus disabling global key map
Player start ship is now always the same
Loadout generator now demands exact match for item dimensions
Thermal damage now triggers ItemDamaged event = player can die from cockpit wear!
Properties panel now has a much more attractive UI
Implemented curve control for properties UI
Centralized number formatting in player settings
Moved significant digits to player settings
Added temperature unit option in player settings
Ships are now more visible in lit areas (depending on cross section stat in Reflector behavior)
Refactored all behaviors to remove context & entity references (can get them from equipped item reference if needed)
Fixed crash when enemy dies of heatstroke while targeted
Exponential decay for visibility now uses correct time-independent formula
Refactored item inspection in properties panel (now consistent between equipped items vs. inventory and store items, shows effect of heat on stats)
Reordered item properties and added spacing between groups
Implemented hypothermia death, with associated postprocessing and HUD UI
Fixed heatstroke and hypothermia not triggering death events
Fixed target inventory dropdown not working in trade menu
Added ability to rename ship
Added player death on cockpit destruction
Fixed confirmation dialog not using onconfirm callback
Fixed faulty double click in inventory panel
Fading out heat texture when ship has uniform temperature
Fixed inventory panel displaying incorrect default when no cargo bay equipped
Fixed incorrect state for console and weapon effect managers when restarting from in-game menu
Fixed save/reload when ship is docked at a station
Copied Main Menu to gameplay scene
Added Pause functionality (ESC key)
Save & Restore discovered zones
Applied vertical offset to asteroids (no more intersections!)
Nebula shader optimized to improve early exit
Nebula shader outputs light scattering to second render target
Modified depth of field shader to use nebula light scattering
Extracted all inspector code for database inspector into a single class per supported field type and wrote reflection code to invoke them automatically
Removed all Aetheria-specific code from database tools
Database View editor is now abstract and supports arbitrary grouping of entry types; specific users must implement their own database view
