I’ll just put my current plans for the project here

CURRENT MAJOR UPDATE [trade update]
station trading UI
ship cargo
fuel usage
basic ship modules (cargo, jump drive)
saving
NEXT MAJOR UPDATE [mining update]
mining
advanced ship modules (mining modules, crafting modules, scanner)
buying new ships
selling nav data?
NEXT MAJOR UPDATE [horizons update] (name based off of elite: dangerous' dlc which adds interaction with planets)
scanning planets
planetary bases
planetary mining

don't count on this update coming out since the features are a tad bit ambitious
NEXT MAJOR UPDATE
base/station creation
simple combat

only if I get really really dedicated to this:
make it multiplayer??????
