Ad Astra Perciclum weekly update entails:

The weekend of September 22 to 24 was game jam where we basically jam as much work as we can into one weekend. We finally have a running Dynamic Generation script and will start tinkering with the numbers for different stars. At this point now we just change about 8 numbers and it'll be correct for the different classifications of stars, as the heat intensity of a star decides where planets are to show up and what they're most likely to be designated as such as arctic or volcanic. Binary stars will be added but extremely rare however implementation of such is very simple as they orbit void center mass. We have started and completed work on the scripting for the exterior of star bases in which entitles a script that allows access to dock with the station and or warp from star system to star system. The art for the star base is currently being created as we move toward creating UI for star base interactions, a galaxy map UI and colony management.

We completed proper detection upon entering the "gravity well" of planets but are still working on a gravity solution when passing into the planet's gravity well. We will swiftly be able to implement a function that will have players obtain the speed and trajectory of the planet thus not having the planet move away from them should they not be attentive enough to keep flying toward it.
